I have a MacMini (mid 2011) version running Lion 10.7.4 w/ 8GB.
I just installed the SanDisk Extreme SSD 240GB, which has the R201 firmware.
SanDisk SDSSDX240GG25:
Capacity:240.06 GB (240,057,409,536 bytes)
Model: SanDisk SDSSDX240GG25
Revision:R201
Native Command Queuing:Yes
Queue Depth:32
Removable Media:No
Detachable Drive:No
BSD Name:disk1
Medium Type: Solid State
TRIM Support:No
Bay Name:Upper
Partition Map Type:GPT (GUID Partition Table)
S.M.A.R.T. status:Verified
While Disk Utility will format the drive in DOS and ExFAT, it will not format it in Macintosh Extended Journaled for Lion. I get the following error:
Volume Erase failed with the error:
File system formatter failed.
Anyone out there have any thoughts on what I can do to resolve this or do I get another SSD which supports Mac Extended Journaled formatting?
Regards.

the file system is not an issue. any SSD will support any file system. Since the drive can be formatted in other file systems this could just be a prtition issue.
Since you only have one partition on the drive, select the “SanDisk SSD” above it (that’s your whole physical drive), go to your Disk Utility> Partition tab, select the big box, option GUID, format OS X Extended and click Apply.
Then switch to the Erase tab, select Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase, it will take some time.
