[dba-Tech] SSD Pricing

I just checked my local hardware dealer's website, and he is offering 480GB
SSDs for $109 CDN. I then checked to see what a 1TB SDD costs, and suddenly
the price shoots seriously skyward, from over $500 to over $1000, depending
on the brand.

Now the question becomes, can I fit two 480s into my HP ProBook 6470b? If
not, there is an alternative. I found a USB 3.0 external 1TB SSD for
substantially less, but somehow it seems self-defeating to combine SSD with
USB.

Opinions?
