I'm quite happy with my Intel X25-M.  It made my aging T61 feel like a
new computer for a few years, and then I transferred it into my new
X220.

I would not want to go back to a HDD ever.  The difference (in boot
time, in time taken to launch Firefox or OpenOffice, time to grep large
source trees) is staggering.
