Being limited to EIDE, the Samsung MCAQE32G5APP-0XA is not going to be a viable upgrade for the vast majority of notebook owners. However, if you own an older machine, that does use this connection, then its super fast access times are going to give you a nice boost in performance. Also, if robustness is a concern then an SSD is the clear winner.
As for replacing a desktop hard drive, the MCAQE32G5APP-0XA is still not offering enough overall performance to be worth the money. Setting up a RAID-0 would give you truly great performance but as you would need to buy a dedicated RAID controller the cost is again massively prohibitive.
Overall, it's best to wait until the SATA version of these drives arrives later in the year.
