More important to me than price per GB and even speed is longevity.  I 
think I'll wait to see how long that 40GB SSD drive in my Asus netbook 
lasts. While I understand that the cheap SSD drive in my netbook my not 
last as long as the latest SSD drives from other manufacturers, I'm 
still concerned about overall longevity.

If anyone has some links to information which will make me feel better 
about longevity, I'd love to see them.
