I bought the 128GB version of this drive. As has been said by many, performance boost is dramatic. I use this drive with my MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X and Windows XP (via Fusion) at the same time. I think this upgrade is even more worthwhile than adding RAM to the computer.

The feature that differentiates this drive from other internal ssd drives is that this drive also has a USB connector, so you can use it as an external drive. This helps tremendously when you clone your original drive onto this drive. You don't have to purchase a drive enclosure just to do the cloning.
