I have an X25-M on FreeBSD which is a ZFS cache device. That setup has brought a phenomenal performance increase to my piddly 7200 1TB drives. I also have a Transcend TS64GSSD25-M 64GB PATA MLC which breathed new life into an old 600m 1.4 ghz laptop. It runs kde4 quite well. The intel's support TRIM which is pretty useful, except that *BSD doesn't yet to my knowledge. Both my drives were ebay snipes and I haven't had an issue with either although the intel preforms quite a bit better for several reasons. -- Adam Vande More
