I am still unsure. I already have a 40Gb SSD in one of the small notebooks I use when I travel but I find it too small. So, I end up always carrying my 1Gb MyPassport with me (and connecting it).
For the same money I would pay for a 120Gb SSD, I could install a 500Gb HDD inside = No more need to carry external HDDs.

I know
but SSD prices are falling rapidly, when I got my first Ocz Vertex 2 60 GB just over two years ago it was over £200, you can get a 120 GB Vertex 3 for just over £100, now, last year I thought I was mad buying a 240 GB Vertex 3 SSD just for FSX at just over £400 I think it was? now the same drive is about £280, the prices are coming down and before we know it nobody will be buying mechanical HD's anymore and we will look back fondly on them as we do on floppy drives, really big capacity SSD's prices are still hurting though, new Vertex Octane 1TB is £1963 here ... Ouch !!!, even the prices of 512MB SSD's need to come down more before I'll buy one, running out of space on my 240GB FSX SSD with photo scenery add ons.

One things for sure though, SSD's lend themselves to Laptops and Notebooks very well, low power consumption while on battery's, and no moving parts.
