Well, finally joining the SSD club with my main machine, my Intel X25V 40GB unit gets here tomorrow, along with a 2.5 to 3.5 inch SATA enclosure so it will work in my cableless drive trays. I figure at $125, it's a good first step to throw some things on, while waiting for larger capacity SSDs to drop in price. I'll be doing some compile tests in Windows first with it, before transitioning it to my OS X side of things.

Now to figure out how to deal with performance degradation in OS X, since I haven't seen anything indicating support for trim yet. I suppose for now, I can just empty the drive from time to time and write the contents back.
