As we all know, SSDs are expensive as heck. That hasn't changed overnight, but the times are certainly a' changing. At $1.55 per GB, Western Digital's 128GB SSD hasn't just broken the $200 barrier, it's smashed it. As we observed in our review, this drive first launched at a whopping $3.2 a GB (~$400). Although that was the standard price for a high-performance SSD at the time, it was overpriced for the mid-range market targeted by the SiliconEdge Blue series SSD. As such, we recommended this drive only if the prices went down... way down. And today they have.
