I'm also interested in any anecdotes about the wisdom of using SSD as a=

We're looking to spiff up our Mac towers by installing SSDs for the sys= tem/program/cache drives.

Before clicking "Buy", we were curious if anyone had experiences = with brands that have let them down or that seem to be particularly good va= lue?
