If I'm not mistaken, that read performance is in Velociraptor class, and of course the access times are an order of magnitude better.
I could live quite comfortably with a 128GB boot drive on my desktop. I could probably get by with 64GB, tho I'd feel a little less comfortable.
Tho I'd like to see benchmarks start showing some real-world improvements over traditional HDD with these things. At these theoreticals I think they might. . .
Core series SSD drives are available in capacities of 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB and deliver incredible 120-143Mbs/ 80-93Mbs read/write speeds and seek times of less than 0.35ms, making the Core series up to 10x as fast on a seek-time basis and up to 40% faster on a R/W basis that the best performing 2.5" HDDs on the market, all while consuming 50% less power. MSRPs at time of launch are USD $169, $259 and $479 for 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models respectively.
