In case you need a second opinion, I can attest to everything enron has said. I too own a SSD samhung in my Acer laptop and it is a necessity. The problem is the price, you get about 50% less capacity per cost comparative basis, but the speed increase is very notable on loading and especialy if you run parasitic applications like Photoshop or Outlook. Haven't noticed any crashing problems, but only had it for a few months.
