Just wanted to post a heads up for those looking for a SATA-3 SSD. There's a deal where, after rebates and cashback, you can get a 120GB Vertex 3 for $178. Almost makes me want to set up two in RAID-0...

Link to details.
 
Just checked, $200 at newegg too, after a mail in rebate. I paid $270 three weeks ago :-/ Ah, the joy of technology!! lol
 
Nice deal. I've got a 240GB in my MBP now. Performance is very good.

Reliability and power consumption are so so.

Then there's the issue that updating the firmware on the MBP 2011 is virtually impossible.
