Yeah, I haven't looked into it yet to confirm, but it appears to me that SSD price drops have slowed down. It is logical to assume that WD, Hitachi and others are reevaluating marketing strategies and product road maps/time lines regarding their entrance into the SSD foray. You may end up seeing WD buy up OCZ in order to remain competitive to Seagate.
