    Title asks it all....
    If you do have one, how does it run for you?

    This has been discussed in depth in various models... What works best... Which models to avoid... etc... There are at least 5-6 different threads on it... Some VERY good ones too....

    I use nothing but SSD's now. In my CF-30MK2 I have a Patriot Warp 128 Gb SSD. In my CF-30MK3 I have an Intel 80GB 2nd Gen which handles the Intel Tool Box Cleaning system very well.

    IN some aspects the Intel blows the Patriot away. For everyday computing I cannot tell the difference. Start up times are almost exactly the same, etc. Just about any SSD that you buy these days is going to be good. They have come along way in the last year alone. There's basically not a bunch of difference between the different brands either. Samsung is a huge supplier to about 60 to 75% of the SSD's out there. Samsung has the market on there controller. The new SandForce is making a big splash right now with pretty good feedback.
    They say the new Intel's, 3rd Gen, will be out late 2010. The rumors are that a 320Gb is going to roll out 1st. Each new version Intel comes out with makes you cry if you have the older version. I have a 1st Gen 32Gb SLC that screams, just not enough room.

    Tom's hardware has some great reviews on SSD's, check it out.

    I know how they run, I have been running one in my Thinkpad X200s for over a year, and when I took it out of that, I took both my Corsair P128's and put them into an external USB/ESATA/RAID enclosure.

    I was just looking for Toughbook experiences.. :)
