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 system/p= rogram/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 value?

thanks -
Chris
