awesome. good little write-up. looking forward to the software follow-up.
btw - about SATAs - you've seen this, right?
http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/03/01/224257/how-power-failures-corrupt-flash-ssd-data
at work we had SEVERE problems with OCZ's 32gbyte SSDs. like... a
30% failure rate. 30%!!! strangely, the first batch OCZ drives - no
problems. and those drives which _stay_ working, stay working.
also, if you truly don't need even 32gbyte (or 64gbyte which is
becoming the standard now), and you have a *reliable* power source,
then consider these:
8Gbyte Innodisk SATA DOM: http://linitx.com/product/13506
it's not stunning peformance but if you don't need stunning
performance, and 8gbyte is ample, why pay even £60+ for something
you're never going to use?
