    Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M080G2R5 2.5" 80GB

    kordon,

    With everything else it depends on what you're doing with your computer and what you expect the upgrade to accomplish.

    In the following thread, I bought and tested the suitability of an SSD in my workflow. I returned it within 48 Hrs.

    See:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=436882


    Bottom line: If you expect to fill to the capacity of the SSD, then don't expect SSD-like performance anymore.

    Good luck.
