“Because of the changes to the interface speed and page size we won’t see drives/controllers use the 128Gb devices for another 1 – 1.5 years. The reason for the delay in incorporating this NAND into SSDs is two fold: 1) A 128Gb 20nm die will be pretty big (2x the size of a 64Gb die), and it’ll take time for yields to improve to the point where it’s cost effective, and 2) a larger page size and new interface both require a revision to the controller & firmware. Intel and Micron have both confirmed that they will not be using the 128Gb parts in SSDs until 2013.”

Heh…I’m glad really..lol Who wants to have buy a 1TB SSD just to get max performance?
