    Could those who have an SSD in their TZ please post the make/model of the SSD as well as some benchmarks using HD Tach/Bench,, want to know if it's a worthwhile upgrade

    There's still not too many 1.8" SSD's on the market right now, mostly just Samsung and Sandisk up to 64GB - at least until the other companies get in gear and release the ones they announced at the beginning of the year.

    Here's a benchmark at DVNation.com comparing the 1.8" 64GB Samsung and Sandisk.

    Here's a benchmark from another NBR member of the 32GB Samsung in a TZ.

    And here's a whole thread about upgrading the SSD in the TZ.

    Personally, I think I'm gonna wait another year until the 128GB drives are more readily available for end-users. Hopefully by then the price will be more reasonable!
