got my ocz vertex 2 60 gig for my 2.0 ghz black macbook yesterday and i have to say its really fast :) i think it boots even faster than yours... ordered the optibay caddy some days ago. will bring my 500 gig hdd into it and run the system on the ssd :)
My 2.0ghz Macbook 3,1 Santa Rosa boot up in 31.3 seconds with 2gb ram and a 500GB 7200rpm.. Just saying. all you really gain is speed in data transfer and all you loose is well... 420Gb of storage.
@TheShowMen But he could also launch 50 apps in 30 seconds vs 5minutes on your Macbook. The SSD gives you incredibly fast access to random data & launches/closes apps instantly. Its not about saving 10 seconds in boot time which unfortunately is what 99% of videos allude to.
An SSD even in an old 1.5GB sata limited Macbook shows massive gains in daily useability. There's just no waiting for anything. And when you have photoshop, dreamweaver, office, and 20 tabs open it really does make a diff.
@TheShowMen Also a 7200rpm really sucks down the juice vs SSD. It's just a shame that SSD is so expensive right now. But as in all tech the prices will drop to half of what they are now and in not so short a time all laptops will come with SSD standard.
I'd been an owner of a macbook for nearly a year, my comment was based upon that year of ownership as well! The screen of my MBP is in a different league, no matter the angle of view :)
Hey which optibay did are you using? I bought one with a SATA interface (machine) but the superdrive seems to have a different connector?

@MisterMontyCarlo how does your black mac run with the caddy? i've seen threads on the subject but no actual reviews from someone who has done it.
