You can? Which one(s)? Would they be good for putting md bitmaps and filesystem journals on?

Yes. The Intel X25-V 40G drive is the one I would recommend, I use it as a system drive in one box, it's not as fast (linear write speed) as the X25-M drives, but it's definitely a step up from the 5400rpm 2.5" drive I used in the system before :P

2nd that, nice drive, cheap, many uses for it. In addition to bitmap and journal (pick the right journal options and see a huge boost), putting swap out there make hibernate one of those "wanna see it again" operations.

I really want to use it for write cache, but I guess putting a big journal there has a similar effect.
