SSD - Yea or Nay?

I'm considering taking the plunge. Is now good or should I wait? What should I avoid? All recommendations appreciated.

 

They are wicked fast. I don't have a 'real' SSD drive, I got one of the OCZ Hybrid SSD and normal drive things. I can tell some speed improvement. Very nice to have a full speed laptop drive in a desktop space wise, but no way to mount it. Yeah, I could buy/rig a mount for it, but I am cheap and lazy, and it works just fine resting on the cage.

The full SSD drives are sweet. Like anything computer related, they will get faster, have more capacity, and get cheaper over time.

 

I like my SSD but it's small(40GB) for the price, yes it's fast to boot from and has a 1M MTBF rating as opposed to100K MTBF for standard drives. Programs will load faster but unless one has humongous files to save, you won't notice the difference. I won't be buying one for my new Sandy Bridge machine anytime soon.
