Check out both the Samsung site and the Intel site for local retailers. As this is being written, Intel is in the process of building a flash technology offering higher capacity SSD devices, which at first will be very expensive, but then will drop significantly in price within months. Samsung will release drives behind them to compete.
Because there are discussions throughout the Internet that SSD's should NOT be subjected to unnecessary writes, then file indexing and other activity that requires a lot of writes may decrease the life of the drive.
