This is tempting...

How are you guys using SSD's? JUST for tour OS/system files - or for your music storage too?

My experience with Apple is they are not very nice when it comes to upgrades, it cost me $200+ to put an SSD in my 2009 Macbook Air as I could only use a few different brands due to size and plug formats.

That said I think the Air is a lot more difficult to upgrade due to space issues.

The Airs and the Retina Pro are the only ones that are going to be like that……at least for now. I've literally not given it a second thought with my MBPs.

It's the only drive in my laptop at the moment. They're just plain better in every way except $/GB, and I think using a smaller drive is just worth it.

120GB in the laptop to store everything I take with me. 2.5TB worth of archives/backups on externals in 2 locations……works great for me.

Looks like price went up- now $100 not $59

Even though I'm from Canada, really appreciate the idea of posting deals to gear, equipment, peripherals, computer hardware, software when they come up at this forum!

Yeah, I saw that. Oh well.

Also, random note that I'll put here for no reason in particular……apparently OWC is now selling SSD upgrades for the 2012 Retina MBP and 2012 MBA. They're expensive, but the're really nice drives.
