I have to say that initially, I didn't see a major change when first booting up with my Crucial m4, but now that I'm using it, WOW.
One quesiton though - on the X60/X61 Tablet, is the SATA interface only limited to 1.5Gbps? Running HD Tune, I'm only getting about 95-100MB-ish read speed, but I understand this drive can do many times more than that sustained.

I have an OCZ Vertex 3 in my X120e, and I can actually playback uncompressed 1080p video, though not for very long, as the files tend to get pretty big. OCZ has basically left the RAM business and are focusing on all ranges of SSDs. Their partnership with SandForce seems to have them pretty far in the price/performance lead, even since they bought Indilinx themselves, though Indilinx controllsers seem to be mostly used on the lower-end drives. - Alex -- Smart is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
