Credit card warranty?
Local Apple Genius?
Phone call to Apple, with offer to buy Apple Care.
This is so close. I'd do all of the above before rolling your own. The local Genii have a *lot* of leeway, and I think it's worth a shot to approach them, tell the sword, and subtly admit you're at their mercy.
There is the flat rate repair, too, isn't there? That *is* pricey, $310 last somebody mentioned. I think that's too much if it's just the SSD.
System Profiler/Report should be able to disclose the SSD manufacture.
