I am. I just got a new laptop at work w/ 500GB HDD, so I ordered a 120GB Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD.
Samsung's software imaged the HDD to the SSD so insanely easy that as an electrical engineer and computer nerd, I almost felt like it was too easy! All I had to do was go into the BIOS and set the mSATA as the boot device, and it was done. This is with Win7 as the OS.
Now I have the 500GB HDD for bulk data storage and backup, and the OS and apps fit VERY comfortably in the 120GB SSD.
(Note: if you have any questions on the process, PM me. I work for WD and spent 6 of my years here at the company in the SSD division -- counting my time with the startup that WD acquired -- so I've spent some time with this stuff
