Solid State Drive are getting more affordable these days with Intel announcing price cuts of different variants. The X25-M 80 GB notebook drive which had originally retailed at $595 will now be available at $390. X25-E and X25-M which were of 32 GB and 160 GB capacities are now now available at $415 and $765 respectively. Many analysts see this price cut as Intel's strategy to become a pioneer in the field. Hard drives are still leading in the cost-per-GB factor.

Is there any benefit of going for a 32GB SSD for $415 (about Rs.20,000) when a 32 GB removable flash drive is available for around Rs.3,000-3,500?
