Anyone use solid-state drive instead of hard disk drive?

I just put a 160GB Intel X-25 solid-state drive into my netbook and it is excellent. The SSD is significantly faster as far as boot times, read/write, etc. and I now have the piece of mind that there are no moving parts inside the drive that will fail. The number one downside is price, to replace the 160GB HDD the equivalent SSD cost more than my netbook altogether. But I think it is worth it, can't really put a price on all that data, and avoiding the headaches of dealing with a drive crash (if you've ever had it happen you'll know what I mean).
