Getting OT. that means if you bought a laptop with a 750gb drive your cost is $75 for the hard drive, but with SSD it is $750 just for the hard drive You are looking at it the wrong way. This is true only if your laptop drive is your primary data storage. If it's not, you may as well buy 200Gb SSD and have much faster laptop for the same price as having 2Tb HDD. Personally, if I was not lazy to migrate my Windows+installed programs, I'd buy SSDs for all my laptops right now and just have external fileserver or NAS for media. Plus SSD prices are falling faster than HDD prices, so your price ratio is not going to be constant.
