Two quickies:

Samsung promises 256 GiB SSD units later this year, capable of 200 MiBps peak reads and 160 MBps sustained read rates. The storage units will ship in 2,5″ and 1,8″ enclosures, and have SATA-2 interfaces. The best SSDs today top out at around 130 MiBps for reads and 100 MiBps for writes. No price announced yet - current price for an equivalent-sized SSD is 7000 US$.

Seagate promises 2.5 TiB 3,5″ hard drives in 2009.
