Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive $515 - DP - 12-06-2013
Saw someone had posted a 1TB SSD for $525:
1TB Samsumg EVO SSD
Love mine.
Now: $525 6 Wks Ago (when I bought): $600
This is on MacMall which is never a place for great deals but this is out there this AM. Too expensive for what I'm looking for but thought I put it out there for someone else...

I think when it drops below $300 (hopefully within a year), I'll upgrade to 1 TB. For now, I'm getting by with a 256GB.

Agree, there is nothing 1 TB would offer me over the 120 GB boot drive setup I have now that would come close to justifying that kind of coin.

I have not seen SSD prices come down much in the last year. I think it is due to higher demand of more manufacturers making it a default option on upper mid-range laptops. Prices will fluctuate when a new model hits the retail channel and there will be an occasional door-buster/loss-leader.
I tried to find a chart of price trends but it looks like the site I used last year shut down the option.

1T is more than I need, considering the pricing.
Even 512G could be questionable, but I wanted all my iTunes stuff on the boot drive (which I've yet to move).
Any other SSD purchases will probably be limited to 256G at $140.

I bit on a 500GB SSD that was on sale last week for $250, upgrading from 250GB SSD. My 250 had less than 30 GB left; it could have gone longer with some more aggressive housecleaning. But even in the HDD days I was not close to filling a 500GB, let alone a TB.

This is why I regret having one of the new Apple laptops. I truly need more than 500GB on my main machine, in part because I have it partitioned for Boot Camp.
If apple used a standard SSD, I'd just swap my 500 for this 1 TB model.

Under some circumstances it certainly makes sense.
-historic low price by a wide margin
-enough capacity to easily fit all your stuff and lose the split
-portable computer that's one's main Mac
It makes even better sense when several of those criteria converge.
Looks like we have a growing number of users in line for a 240-256 GB SSD at .50 a gig.
