I put a SSD hybrid drive in my laptop last year. So far it has been nice to have and boot times are faster.
What did you pay for your drive? If you don't mind me asking.Starve the beast, move to a free state.

I paid 190$ for it on newegg and i think i have a 10-20$ rebate also. I'm just amazed at the improvement on boot-up and general run speed on every thing. True to my life western digital had one on sale the next day 200$ for a 240gig one. But I'm to happy to care.Comment

You can pretty much get them for $1 per GB on average if you look around. Slickdeals.net usually has posts about them regularly.
**edit**
Here's on from newegg that I found through Slickdeals.net

I replaced the 7200RPM Seagate in my notebook with a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD and the improvement was HUGE! I've also got a 120GB Sandisk Extreme SSD (replacing a Raptor) in my desktop as the boot drive and it's great but I still have spinners in RAID5 for my data."Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." --FREDERIC BASTIAT--

SSD are the bomb and an excellent upgrade.A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
It is not about the GUN it is about the RIGHT
Gun control has its roots in RACISM and CLASSISM, if you support gun control you support those two evils

Wait till you start playing with the PCI-E bases solid state drives....
I had a chance to have an ioDrive drive in my workstation for a while for testing. Mind blowing if you actually run applications that can take advantage of it like VMWare Workstation or Video Production...ExtremeXComment

If you're running Windows 7 you just need to run WEI and make sure the drive scores over a 5.9. Windows handles the rest. There is no danger in keeping the swap file on the system drive, in fact it is impossible to disable.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
