Just wanted to add the link to Siracusa's (sic!) review as well... 23 pages of in-depth glory. If you meet someone online who claims SL is only a service pack, point him to the review of 10.6. (I think the review earns being linked to twice on the same page...)

Holy Cow Batman Installed fine and they weren't kidding about that speed increase. It's definitely noticeable, for me at least. I was debating installing a 128GB or 256GB Crucial SSD drive, but now I'm not so sure--might cause shock or something if it got any faster.

Hm. I think it can never be too fast. And a speed increase fades away after time. Not that it really turns slower, but for example: I've noticed how much faster my iPhone 3GS is when I first upgraded from the 3G, but nowadays, I don't find it that fast. It still _is_ though, when I compare to a 3G directly... So... I'm thinkin' about getting an SSD to replace my iMac's main harddrive. (The machine has to be opened in our service center soon, anyway, to clean the display glass from the inside...) But they're still quite expensive in 3.5" format. I only find 64 GB drives as well. I'd need at least a 128 GB, better a 256 GB drive...

Never seen a 3.5" SSD, but I haven't looked for them either. Most people are running the 2.5" models in the desktops using a carrier. You have to remember the SSD part negates any difference in size that a normal HD suffers from. If you do get one, make sure it uses the Indilinx Bearfoot controller and not the JMicron junk. Crucial and OCZ seem to be the best bang for the buck. Both have been tested and certified for use in Macs (probably not an issue anyways, but it's nice to know they've been checked.) I just bought a Seagate 500GB 7200RPM 2.5" drive for now. Eventually (6-8 months, after the next price drop) I'll buy the 256MB SSD from Crucial and move the 500GB to where my DVD drive is for file storage. Never use the thing, so it makes sense. If Apple gets rid of the SD card slot from the 15" pros and brings back the ExpressCard slot, then I'll just buy a new one. They already brought back the anti-glare screen, so the ExpressCard is the only thing holding me back right now. Anyone with a SSD install Snow Leopard yet? Did the optimizations for SSD drives help much?
