I have an ssd in my macbook pro and having recently ran on a non ssd
machine for a bit the saying is true, once you install an SSD you never
go back. its a 128GB kingston Vnow+ i.e second version, not as fast as
some but noticeably fast compared to a hard disk. I use it for email os
and apps and have my photo library on a second disk in the machine. Its
now installed in my new macbook pro and I am once again happy.
In my opinion its the single best performance upgrade after you have a
min of 2Gb ram. It did however fail and I needed to reinstall once but
its been fine since and passed all tests so I assume it was a glitch.
