I am a bit surprised that Apple does not have an SSD drive as an upgrade option on the new Mac Pros. It would seem that there is a good amount of interest in the tech, and with Apples rep for adopting new standards early...
Any thoughts?

2.5" SSDs don't fit in 3.5" bays?

Anyone interested in one can simply go buy one. No sense in waiting for Apple to make it BTO option with the usual 300% markup.

Like CD-R?
Or DVD?
Or USB2?
Or SATA?
Or Blu-Ray?

I have an SSD in my Macbook.
Awesome thing....allows long battery life and worries of mechanical failure.
I have a buddy with a similar white macbook. If we hit "Power" button at same time, mine boots in 1/2 the time.
Even more fun is launching PS CS4. After first launch, it goes from DOck click to open in under 2 seconds.

I agree, I have one in the MBP and don't want no more spinny-clicky-draggy drives :eek:

A quick bracket fix should be little problem.
