I just did the same, probably a similar disk. If you don't use the optical drive much you can always add an SSD and keep your current disk with 320 or 500GB. I think 240GB will be enough. If not I might end up replacing the optical drive. It's a lot, yeah, but the way I look at it is I just spent top dollar on a shiny new notebook and using a rotational disk in it is cheating myself out of a good investment. I couldn't justify not getting one any longer, even though I know that winter will bring higher capacities and lower prices.

Exactly the same reasoning. I don't use my optical drive at all (maybe twice in 2 years??) but I just don't like the idea of castrating my MBP (funny, because I had no such qualms about any of my old devices). I got the C300 RealSSD: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Technology-RealSSD-Solid-CTFDDAC256MAG-1G1/dp/B0039SM0B2 http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Technology-RealSSD-Solid-CTFDD... I had been waiting for the F240 from Corsair to come out, and as I was waiting, this one popped up on the market and it blew all the competition away.
