Me either.
My issues with SSD is the prices and the sizes are just to small.
I would rather wait the few extra seconds and have a much larger drive not the mention the money I save

Until you try it you don't under stand! price per GB is still high end but I will tell you it makes the netbook faster and improves battery life. So it is a win win for the portable market.
Space on the other hand is at a premium. But you can always store your stuff on a larger , slower , less expensive drive!

You know I have an SSD's I just don't care for them
Being portable and having good battery life is great however thats no good if you have to use an external drive, kinda of defeats the purpose of saving battery life.
But I understand your point.

I have one of these and the benchies are downright horrible in comparison. My writes were in the 60s on CrystalMark for example.
