Thoughts on these?

Nice, but not much space.

Not the point. Install OS and a few key applications on the SSD. Use the existing HD for media (mp3s, photos, vids, etc) in super power saver mode. I get much improved battery life and much improved performance. My notebook has 2 HD slots, one is currently empty. I'd like to install Win7 on the SSD.

mmm... I've been meaning to invest in a SSD one of these days.

If you want to avoid wasting your money on a drive that will run badly once it's full, read this article:

I haven't finished reading it myself, yet, cause it's pretty long.
I have however, gathered that - partly from reading his previous 2 articles on SSDs - waiting for TRIM might be a good idea. Linux supports it already. Win7 not yet (at the time of the article). Only some drives support it aswell.

Drives are starting to emerge that handle it onboard, so OS support isn't an issue if you get one of those drives.
