you hit the nail on the head.
Real Pro's don't depend on the macbook Pro's internal drive for their main work crunching.
It's usually a large external drive on Firewire 800.
If you want to do that on an internal drive my friend then you should be using a Desktop Mac Pro.
SSD's offer alot of advantages....less power, thinner, quicker app launching, less possibility of failure due to no moving parts.
I'd love to see a 160gb one... and the sizes available seem to be taking off...just look at how quick we are at with 128gb ones now on the market....and ipods with 32gb, 64gb
