thanks.

On the linked page, there is a paragraph in bold, thus:

"If intending to install and run an operating system from SSD we recommend choosing a product built using SLC Flash chips. The product you are currently viewing is built using MLC."

These SSDs are a good price and make a solid state Empeg quite realistic for me, but I'm concerned about that statement.

Incidently, this is the SLC based device they refer to and it's hella expensive by comparison (£270)
