I was ready to pull the trigger on a Crucial M4 120GB SSD, but now that the Intel 330s are available for exactly the same price (1 €/GB) I'm not sure anymore. I know I should probably wait for reviews, but on the other hand Intel ...

From some french site.



Good enough for me. :v:
Ordered.

Nope, it will fly.

Might be a better question for the VM thread, but how much SSD IO performance do you lose by using Virtualization? Would passing through a complete SSD help?

I bought a Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe (MKNSSDCR240GB-DX7) off Amazon and when I got it I noticed that there is something like a small screw rattling loose inside the metal enclosure. Also the SATA connectors move slightly relative to the metal enclosure. This isn't normal, right? I already sent a support request, but I wanted to ask here since it is a semi-recommended drive, and maybe others have bought one too.

I hope this question is not too off-topic/small. :ohdear:
