Haven't used one of Apple's, but I've been using them for years. Unless your laptop lives in a very unfriendly environment, or you have massively critical data that can't fail, it's kind of a waste of money. A conventional drive with a routine daily backup will provide what amounts to the same data protection for a fraction of the cost.

I want one because the battery life on my T61p with the 1920X1200 screen, 4G of RAM is teh suck.
SSD uses way less juice, and maybe I can finally get three hours out of the regular 6 cell battery, instead of the barely 2 hours.
