When I last looked at SSDs, maybe 6 months ago, it was unfortunate, but everything that was "reasonably" priced also sucked. Big time. Significant performance and deterioration problems, plus high failure rates and short (relatively speaking) life spans. This included numerous products from OCZ.

At the time , I was thinking of replacing the optical drive in my then "future" MacBook Pro with an SSD. I would have used the SSD as a boot drive and the existing drive would have been for data. The optical drive would have gone into a slim-line USB enclosure.
