I thought the big benefit to these things was suppose to be stability in addition to the speed. I'm surprised, given how pervasive flash memory is now, that the SSDs are so unstable in their current many-GB sizes. I think I'll stay away for at least another 2 years and let someone else work the bugs out of it. Having a drive go crappy on you is about the worst thing. Hot damn are you serious?

I havent yet tried with other brands (one IDE Samsung waiting in drawer, MITRON shipping), but the problem is not so much performance - yes, write is sloooow -- but reliability. Today the 2,5" piece went bad 3rd time already, it just starts corrupting files and/or filesystems. At first I thought that that particular item is bad, but no, yesterday the 1,8 piece died as well. The same symptoms. Tried both XP and Vista, no difference. So, for me the technology seems too early to adopt yet.
