Thanks

Just to be clear - what do you need it for specifically?

You mentioned reliability over speed, and seem to be looking for a small (64Gb) drive - is it just for the OS?

Are you thinking SSD just for the low noise, energy and heat?

Otherwise a good, premium-brand small HDD might do you (or a USB drive on an internal header, for some boot options).

Using it for a htpc with just the os and xbmc on it and it's library.

But i want no heat and noise. Would loke fast wake up times when the htpc is in sleep mode.

i would go for the 40gb intel drive

So would be in order of reliability

Intel
Crucial
Ocz

The Intelsat are very expensive

Thanks
