Ended up ordering one myself. My movie collection is getting a bit huge and the lag time from when I click the movies button till the time it takes to change to the movies page is about 15 secs so hopefully this will fix that.

Is it large enough for Windows 7 or WHS 2011 ?

edit - bah forget about it. I hate mail-in "rebate" when you don't receive actual money.

Yep definitely

Bargain tbh and at $35 dollars you guys are still complaining ?!

Over here it costs 50 of Her Majesty's notes which in your monopoly money is a full 80 bucks ! Angry

Ship me one - I'll pay the postage Smile

I ran a Benchmark in Linux, results look promising for this drive.
I plugged it in right out of the box and ran the test -

Avg Read - 280.5 MB/s

Min Write - 207.3 MB/s
Max Write - 224.9 MB/s
Avg Write - 220.5 MB/s

Avg Access Time - 0.1 ms

Mint 10 - Disk Utility/Benchmark

I was curious about the "up to" ratings on this drive.
I'm going to install it in a Revo 3610. It contains the original hard drive that produces heat and causes the fan to spin up. This should make it quiet down and be faster. I'll let you know the results.

pretty fast voip-ninja!! ~17sec

actually, i was watching some CRUCIAL M4 64GB SATAIII booting videos,,,

lemme say that your patriote SSD seems to boot just as fast or even faster sometimes o.O

I know that your BIOS is probably under 'fast booting' of some sort since we dont see
the initial loading stuff but still, patriote SSD is amazing value here o.O

The bios screen is there. There is a fast boot utility but I have not installed it yet.
