My 13" made it home a full day ahead of schedule.

Took it out of the box, took off the HD, and popped in the X-25 (latest firmware applied).

Xbench score 189.

Just to put that score in perspective...

My Santa Rosa 17" 2.4Ghz C2D manages 115 with a new seagate momentum 7200 and 4Gb RAM... (scored 99 with Apple's original 7200 HD)

It is fast enough for me...

P.S. It estimates 12:53 hours of battery usage as I am writing this... terrible, terrible upgrade...

i just got my 13" today 2.66ghz

i noticed alot of different things, like booting from SD cards shows a SD card picture, its also much faster using SD even though its still through usb bus.

the sata controller is showing up as unkown for some reason.

battery life is about the same as my 2.53 2009 model 13".

im running 2 ssd's , 1 160gb intel x25m g2 and a 256gb kingston.

160gb intel - scores 207.69
kingston 256gb - scores 208.58

the machine runs great, alot cooler i have noticed.

going to pop in 8gb ram kit tommorow and see how that goes.

Does anyone have xbench scores of the Apple SSD? This way we could compare these numbers with the Intel x-25

How do I determine what firmware my x25-m has? I was looking under system profiler but didn't see anything.

BTW, My 13" 2.4 scored 182 on xbench

Will the SSD make any improvements on the batterytime?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I just ran Xbench on my x-25 80gb that I just got yesterday and I'm using the 13" 2.0 Unibody Macbook from I believe it was 2008, and I scored 257.56.

I am thinking of upgrading to the new 13" MBP and assumed the SATA controller and mobo handling of the SSD would be faster on the new model, just wondering if this is just normal variation or if its slower?

Just got my 13" 2.66 8G 512G SSD

Xbench below:

Results: 191.90
Disk Test: 215.21

The SSD is very fast from a hands on point of view. Battery seems much better.

This is coming from a 2008 13" 2.4G 4G ram w/ 500G 7200rpm Hitachi drive.

I'll compare them in depth later but I've very happy with the system so far.

I run Parallels and the XP startup time is amazing.
