Certainly fantastic technology, and probably the future of storage. But I still have concerns over their long-term reliability, especially in R/W-heavy applications.
And they're still so freaking expensive compared to 'normal' hard drives.

Yeah, that's an awesome video. I keep thinking about using one in my next build, which will probably happen in several months. I wanted to do it earlier this year, but there's no good options in the upper midrange right now.

Yeah, I saw that the other day. AMAZING.
Actually, 3 of us at my office are now SSD converts. We saw a thread on Gizmodo a few weeks ago talking about taking a Dell Mini 9 and turning it into a Hackintosh, basically hacking OSX onto it. There was a sale for an 8GB SSD Mini 9 w/ Ubuntu for $200. We all bought one but the price doubled because we wanted Bluetooth, camera and 64GB SSD. We got the 512MB memory and bought 2GB DIMMS for $20.
We have legal copies of OSX and Windows 7. (Granted Apple has clarified their position on the EULA...) We spent most of 1 day configuring one machine for dual boot of OSX and Windows 7. WORKS GREAT. Then we mirrored (dd for you Linux fans) the SSD and copied it to the other Mini 9's. Now we've got our own version of Macbook Airs for <$500. Not too shabby.

Very nice. I wonder how much power consumption that is. I would definitely enjoy those read speeds, but I think my first venture into SSD will be much more humble.

I just used a 40gb intel SSD in my new HTPC for the OS drive. Opening my bluray player (TMT3) and the time it takes to load the BluRay disk from the harddrive decreased dramatically.
Well worth the $129.00 US

For those that don't already know, do NOT defrag the SSD. I mention it only because the IT guy ran a defrag in the video.

I wonder if I should have gone for an SSD in my new build? It really would have been pretty cool....

I was hesitant, read a couple of posts on AVS from those that had a SSD, and the intels were reviewed well on newegg, so I went for it. Glad I did. After all I have wrapped up in the HTPC, for me it increases the enjoyment enough to justify the cost. It's been a couple months, they may have come down more in price.
