I just put a OWC 6G 120GB SSD in my late 2010 Macbook Pro and man does it scoot. I doubt I'll ever have another computer (PC or Mac) that will have a spinning hard drive in it.
My boot time went from about 120 seconds with the stock 5400 RPM drive to about 80 seconds with the 7200 RPM drive I upgraded to last year. Now with the SSD I'm fully booted and doing whatever I want in about 18 seconds. Programs open 1,000 times faster than even the 7200 RPM drive.
I'm considering getting an OWC data doubler kit (120GB SSD for a total of 240GB) and removing my DVD drive from the MacBook Pro just for the added data. I can always get a MacBook Air USB drive if I need an optical drive.
I'd recommend a SSD for anyone looking to upgrade their hard drive.
