8GB Supertalent SSD?

[Zarathustra[H]]

I recently came across this 8gb Supertalent SSD

Has anyone used Supertalent drives? Are they decent, or crap?

Now I know some of you are saying 8gig drive in 2010? Why?

I'm thinking this would be a perfect boot drive for my planned Linux NAS server.

It will have a 4 drive redundant array to serve data off of, but I don't want to use the array as a boot drive as it can cause some conflicts. A linux server only needs ~500 to 1gb of disk space, so this might be the perfect solution on a budget.

Thoughts?

I've heard some pretty good things about people using these for just the same purpose you intend on using it for.

I've been itching to grab one myself to use as an OS drive for a FreeNAS box or something.

At the size and price point it definitely falls into the category of 'Handy to have around'.


I can think of lots of stuff to do with something like this, for instance it would be great in my 'legacy gaming' box. Win98SE, A couple of voodoo2s, and GLQuake+GLDoom and a few other goodies.

I would go for the Intel X25-V (5x the space and much better performance), but if budget is priority then you could try the Supertalent...
