Actually, it's up to 4 512GB SDD, giving a total of 2TB.
But either way it's a Mac, so why bother?
I'm a PC. Link
I'm really looking forward to seeing SSD drives drop in price...
I think HDD read/write speed is the bottleneck in my PC, is there any way of finding out?
To clarify, I know my drive's speed but is there a way of finding out whether or not it's slowing my PC down?

Sorry Monkey, I have the point this out... SSD is Solid State Drive, so SSD DRive is Solid State Drive Drive . No offense intended, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Like people saying USB Bus - Universal Serial Bus Bus - and PIN Number - Personal Identification Number Number.
Commonly referred to as RAS Syndrome - Redundant Acronym Syndrome Syndrome.
I agree though. I'm looking to get a Solid State Drive to either install games on or to use as my Windows drive. Just when they're more affordable...
I could do with an app to check out my disk read/write speed and activity too. I have a relatively new drive (in terms of recently bought and a recent model/manufacture) and I get ridiculously slow loading times in games and when transferring files.
I think the SSD's that are being used in MAC's are Hybrids, half SSD and half SATA, i.e. waste of cash :P
Best out there in terms of SSD isn't even a hard disk per say, its a PCI-e 1x Card that can handle 1.5GB/s both Read and Write... thats worth a fair bit of cash, and they can come in sizes of 1TB etc.
But they are DDR memory with a good battery backup, and has a huge lifetime on them.
Any downside to the PCI-e 2.0 cards?
