SSD as an Apple option

[Igotmacqs]

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?

Well i've got one X-25 SSD in my Mac Pro 2006 so it fit 😛

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 😱

A quick bracket fix should be little problem.
