Well, almost. Two of these for 140 notes. Intel in all but name.

They only have a write speed of 40Mb/s

Just ordered one of these, be interesting to see how it compares to my 80GB Intel. Even with the low write speed it should still be scary fast as a boot drive.

I did say "almost"

There's a bit of a discussion on them in this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18071012

I think Kingston could be onto a winner with these.

yea, looks a pretty good drive! They're around the price that I paid for my 30GB vertex drives second hand, so look quite the bargain, larger and brand new haha! Good read speeds and obviously good seek times being an SSD, looks spot on for a boot drive

With M225 64GB's up to £165 now, you'd be stupid not to go RAID with the Kingstons. Cheaper, faster and higher capacity.
