I just bought two 250gb Crucial SSD's, planning on raid 0 but have not had time to mess with. Predicting I will have to clean install and do not want to at this time. Also I hear my backup SW will not work with advanced formatted drives. Makes me very unhappy and have been trying to understand why they changed things. (63 to 64 start sector) been running 4K clusters for a long time. Doing homework when I can. Expensive drives doing nothing at the moment.
