well, I got an OCZ Vertex drive about 5 months ago. It is fantastic. The install went ok, but not very fast. I think it may have had something to do with the install disk. after install, I rebooted and it was blazing fast.

I still don't really notice a performance cut from a fresh drive.

I did install 2.6.33 kernel which supports automatic trim. But other than that I haven't really done any "maintenance".

I got a 30GB and do run into space limitations, but I also use an external drive to store my music and movies for the laptop.

in all down specs it comes to the processor and ram that really limit a ssds speed but thats in some cases
