Yes, it is here. What size are you looking for?

640Gb = RM265
1Tb = RM365
2Tb = RM965

I hear that Intel makes the best SSDs now. But SSDs are still too expensive... If I wanted to buy one, I would like it to be at least 1Tb.

That will likely be a few more years in the making, and will be another couple before they get affordable. Your best bet would be in 2015 or later. And by then if the conventional HDD is still around, they'll be having capacities of up till 10TB. More than most people use in an entire lifetime.

As for the SSD market, Intel's x25-m offers probably the best bang for buck factor. Though OCZ is starting to give them a run for their money.

The thing about SSD is it obeys Moore's Law... Every 6 months it's going to double in size as it's made with the same technology as the thumbdrives and SD cards. SSDs are going to go out-of-date quickly like this.

Oh, we do have 1Tb SSDs already by OCZ, it's the PCI-e version and it costs RM4,000!

Since SSD drives are so small to store everything you have, one thing you guys can do is to install Windows and the applications on the Intel SSD drive, and install your data on your normal HDD. That way you can start up your programs faster.

Is there a reason why SSDs are not made in 3.5" sizes to fit in more NAND chips?

The Fusion-io ioXtreme PCI SSD may be only 80Gb, but it can consistently give throughput of 700Mb/s reads and 300Mb/s writes which is way faster than SATA II:

The other day I was asking why aren't SSDs made in 3.5" sizes... Well, OCZ now has new SSDs in 3.5" sizes up to 1Tb. And the 1Tb model only costs US$3572:
