SSD in the traditional sense--real RAM backed with a rotating disk: good.

SSD in the "chunk of flash memory in a laptop": eh?, at best.

As has been mentioned, "solid state" drives have been around forever. The difference between one that you might hang off your SAN to increase the transactional speed of a huge database versus the stuff they sell for laptops is like night and day. As is the price differential.

Unless you regularly play basketball with your notebook, I simply don't see the point as yet.
