Very nice!
I upgraded to a SSD almost a year ago. I don't think I could go back to regular HD's now.
Still not sure if it's worth investing in a SSD for my late 2008. Upgraded to 7200rpm 500gb recently with 8gb ram and it's good enough. Spent a little over $100 for everything. Boottime cut in half and everything running as fast as ever. Compared to a SSD there's probably a 3-5 second difference and $300-500 doesn't justify that.

I recently upgraded my 2010 13" macbook pro with a Corair force 3 SSD. That thing gives me boot times of around 18 seconds. I don't even get a Windmill at the bootup screen . This Sata 3 drive is running on the Sata 2 interface of my Mac. I opted for a Sata 3 SSD because of improved random access speeds.
Please note: All Sata 3 SSDs will run at around 260/215 read/write on a Sata 2 interface. But what counts with an SSD isn't really the sequentials, but more the IOPS.
Great video!
I might post one miself and add it as a response.
Cheers!

I'm editing the Clip! Will be online in a few hours!
I will post the link on this thread.
Check out the boot time difference after I upgraded my 4 year old intel 2.0ghz with a 128gb samsung solid state drive.
The results are Stunning!

Very impressive indeed. I also just upgraded my mid 2007 MacBook with a 120GB SSD.
Could you please use XBench to benchmark your SSD and post the results here? Thing is, that I only get ~1GBit/sec read speed and I'm wondering why it doesn't do more (the controller links @ 1,5GBit/sec).
Thx in advance.
