@StrategicBrain Either the filesystem has taken the missing space, the disk vendors are trying to perpetuate the practice of advertising rounded up disk sizes or both.
First I thought it was being advertised as SI gigabytes (one billion bytes), but that would yield 44.7 binary gigabytes.
Also, fuck anyone who uses SI gigabytes and their stupid base 10 rounding.

Thanks for this review. After watching it I've ordered a Filemate 48GB SSD, received it in less than 24hours, and installed the OS and the Applications on it. It works flawlessly! It is damn fast! I just can't understand why System Profiler shows it as a 45.02 GB drive (I've correctly formatted it in Journaled HFS+ before installing Snow Leopard). Cheers!

@VE7TCC me too. Plus, the peformance was not better than a 7200 RPM HDD.

No. It needs to have an express card reader.

Now I have OWC 100GB SSD and my Xbench score for the SSD is 289.76 the original score with 500GB 7200rpm seagate was : 48.11
Fastest on the market right now.

I had this and it quit working after 3 weeks.
Unreliable!!!

It might be that the ExpressCard isn't connected the same way via PCIe, or isn't recognized as an internal drive for some other reason.
I have a Transcend 32GB SSD, and after a while it will unmount the drive, perhaps when running on batteries (could be low power is an issue).
