X25 is SAHWEET. Hands down. No idea about OSX support though, but I truly have not really heard any news about Mac users on OSX.

But fuck, SSDs are way better than the jump from 5400-7200rpm drives. Easily. You think, "Holy shit, my application opens instantly instead of 10-20 seconds..." no... life crawls to a halt.

I bought a pair of Intel X25s (40GB) and will be installing them in a striped configuration this weekend.

newy:
As long as the capacity isn't bigger and at the same time the price per GB lower I can patiently wait and tolerate the slower access times.

mechanical: ~0.1 €/GB
SSD: ~1-2 €/GB

Natheria:
As much as I'd like an SSD there still just way too expensive for what you get. I'm not looking for a terabyte but i'd at least like 1 gigabyte for every dollar i throw at the damn thing. Then again if i was a poor ass college student I'd probably buy one anyway...  ::)

Edit: After watching that video i now want an SSD boot drive more than ever...  Hurry up and become more affordable!! :'(
