[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1506452, member: 24098"] For what it's worth, I doubt you'll see a significant price decrease between now and June - if any at all. 768GB is kind of the "top dog" in terms of SSD drives and the prices on the higher capacity units have been relatively flat. For example, I've had my eye on a Crucial M4 512GB and it has stood pat around $380 for about the last 6 months, while the 256GB of the very same model has drifted below $200 (the very same drive I paid $350 for in December of 2011). To add insult to injury, Apple charges a premium price for its SSDs and they haven't kept up with third party pricing. Your best bet, in my opinion, is the Fusion drive if you need a new machine now. Or, you could just as easily go with a smaller SSD for your system drive and buy an external Thunderbolt drive at a significant discount. [/QUOTE]
