Problems with SSD's?

[Paddyw01]

Hey guys,

Soon, I'm looking at upgrading my OS/games drive from a 250gb WD Caviar Blue to one of these.
I've had a look at reviews of this drive and it seems to be worth the 170 quid asking price, but I was wondering if any of you have had problems with this drive, or SSD's as a whole. I'm talking about OS installation issues, driver issues, BIOS issues, programs not working as they should etc.
Oh, and I'd just be making a fresh XP install too (I'll think I'll wait a while for Win7).

Thanks

Should be fine, just be sure to turn off indexing etc on the drive in XP as unlike 7 it does not default to optimum SSD configurations.

Also, I'd go for something else over the Intels such as the Crucial M25 and get a 128GB one. The extra space will be worth it.

Thanks for your advice, but I think I'll stick with Intel, as I'd rather five them my money over Samsung who make the internal components of the Crucial's.
Besides, by the time I've run out of memory, the price of Intel's 160gb version will have come down, and they've got a 320gb version in the pipeline too.
