I was curious about the access speed increase, so I grabbed a 32GB OCZ that TigerDirect had on sale for $99. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed. Maybe it's because it's an older SSD model that they were liquidating, but I ended up with the same throughput that I have on my eSATA 1TB SimpleDrive unit.
I read an article yesterday about a SATA3 6Gbps Seatage 2TB (4x500GB platters) drive for the same price as a 120GB SSD on a slower interface. Until SSDs come out with SATA3 capability, I'm going to wait and watch others get cut on the bleeding edge for a while.
