With Solid State Drives becoming an option on most Macs I recommend this choice for speed and reliability..

Agree completely. They're blazing fast and for the boat they are the only way to go. No moving parts so you don't have to worry about the damage to a hard drive. I've had one in my laptop for two years now and would never go back to a standard hard drive.

I replaced the HD with a SSD on a new Mac Mini and it seems to draw only 35 watts.
