Cool, that saves me from burning ?100 unnecessarily. Thanks. I've one more suggestion before I just buy an Intel DC S3500 . . . Seagate 600 Pro 100GB 520/300 Sequential Read/Write 80k/20k Random 4k Read/Write IOPS Power Loss Protection 280/650TB endurance (two figures, weird, but both high) 5yr warranty and not a bad price http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/ssd-fam/600-pro-ssd/en-gb/docs/600-pro-ssd-data-sheet-ds1790-3-1310gb.pdf It's not a SandForce controller :) It's a LAMD LM87800. Cheers, Simon.
