The performance difference, at least with running virtual ESX servers with their own VMs, is noticeable.

You may want to consider giving the Vertex 2 a shot.

This is coming from an owner of an Intel 80GB G2 model.

I enjoy the benefits for my 11.6″ laptop that I run around with for my work, but it wasn’t the game changer that I was hoping it would be and–in retrospect–I’m pretty sure I would never spend the $221 for such a device again. I love the speed, ruggedness and low heat for that application, but I’m going to continue to wait until the prices come down to sane levels before I purchase them on a regular basis for other computers or recommend them to other people. Hybrid drives such as the Seagate’s Momentus XT, the 500GB versions which you can find on sale from $100 to $120, seem like a much better buy right now for palpable benefits in regularly used programs over time than an SSD.
