I played with one, briefly, and it seemed to work. A litte weird, not hearing anything from it... But I'm not at all eager to actually use them just yet. Look for the goofs Intel has had with them. How long will they last, and what is the failure mode like? More often than not a spinning disk will give notice of impending death with a few bad spots before The End. But what of an SSD? By its very nature I could see an address line going, leaving a very weird pattern of unaffected data. SSDs are the future, I'm fairly sure but I think they need to mature as well as get bigger. Lastly, saying where the install hangs would really help. And of course how big is it and who made it? --STeve Andre'
