Ok lets do this properly.
If anyone is interested in a SSD Drive for their MBP or Laptop please register interest below.
Just so you know i will be looking at the OCZ Vertex 3 as this seems to be the best one for a MBP. It will also work perfectly well in a windows laptop and any difference between other manufacturers is minimal and down to personal preference. I will ask any supplier who is willing to do a group buy discount if they will do so on different models however i would expect it only to be on different capacities.
For reference the Stats of a Vertex 3 are:
Available in 60GB, 120GB, 240GB, 480GB Capacities
MLC NAND Flash
Interface: SATA 6Gbps / Backwards Compatible 3Gbps
Native TRIM support - Driven by the second generation of SandForce SSD controller (SF-2281). This means the SSD will TRIM on the fly if the OS doesn't support it

Be aware this isn't going to happen overnight. I am moving house next week but will aim to speak to a few suppliers during that time. Once i have got the details i will then start a GB Thread for them.
