Something else interesting to report. I just connected my SSD to my Intel iMac via Firewire and checked it with Lion's Disk Utility. It found allocation problems and suggested I click "Repair." I did that and a few seconds later it said it was fixed. I scanned it again and it gave a clean bill of health. Strange that Disk Utility in OS 10.4.11 couldn't fix it!

Sadly, I don't have a Wallstreet drive bay adapter for my SSD so I would need to break apart the Wallstreet to test it. Well, I will need to do that to swap the PRAM battery anyway, so I guess it won't take any extra effort.
