I'm interpreting a race between SSDs going down in price and HDDs increasing in size.

Windows 7.
And it really does look like it's coming along with SSDs (or so benchmarks say).

I just looked @ some benchmarks and saw it wasn't much difference at all.

This new WD drive sucks. 2TB for $300. That's $0.15/GB. The Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB was only $0.09/GB.
Soon, you give someone a 8GB USB stick for Christmas and they'd think you're pretty poor. At CES, USB flash drives were used as advertisement.

It's a new piece of equipment. Prices always (obviously) drop.
And such is the reason for advancement.

One of the makers of of memory stick for psp figured out a way to make 2gig sticks and those are smaller than thumb drives, so we should be able to have the same capabilities, right?

At $300 it's not worth it. If it was $200 I'd definitely grab at least one, 1TB doesn't go very far anymore.
