Adding an SSD to a desktop already using a standard hard disk drive is a smart and efficient way to upgrade. Transferring the operating system and applications from the HDD to the SSD allows the SSD to be used as a bootable drive that takes full advantage of the Flash-based technology. The SSD and the HDD then co-exist to drive optimal performance in the upgraded desktop
For notebooks, SSDNow drives are a perfect replacement for hard drives resulting in faster, more reliable performance. Making this change will improve a notebook’s efficiency in a wide range of tasks, from booting up to running the most robust operating system and demanding applications.
SSDNow uses a standard SATA interface but, unlike a regular HDD, SSD is very rugged and built with no moving parts, making it ideal for power users and road warriors who push the limits of their notebooks. Other benefits include reduced power usage, less noise and less heat generation.
Kingston’s SSDNow V+ offers performance gains and power consumption reductions at a fraction of the cost of a new system. For added peace of mind, they’re backed by 24/7 tech support, a three-year warranty and legendary Kingston reliability.
Features:
Innovative Uses MLC NAND flash memory components.
Silent Runs silent and cool with no moving mechanical parts.
Shock Proof No moving mechanical parts so the SSD handles rougher conditions.
Supports S.M.A.R.T. Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology tells the user when a drive is about to fail
Guaranteed 3 year legendary Kingston warranty, 24/7 tech support

http://mac-ssd-drives.com/ A low-price SSD disk drive upgrade for my aging 1st generation Core Duo MacBook proved easy and fast do to. Taking advantage of a rebate, I found a bargain on a 30GB cheap Solid Series MLC solid state drive from OCZ for under $75 and installed a clean OS X 10.5 Leopard onto it in half the time it’d normally take.
