Anyone tried them? They're cheap and have big cash but can they be trusted? I know it's a bit early to speak about their long-term performance but if anyone had one fail already, I'd love to know before I order one.

Have only heard of 'em. That's the bad news.

The good news is, they've only got raves up until now. absolutely fantastic drives.

And you meant cache, right? yeah they've got 8mb. Very generous.
 
No no, I meant that they are stacked with dollar bills. At least that's what the sales guy told me...:confused:

Hopefully I can get the governmet to approve the purchase of an 80GB unit in the near future.

I'm using a new 120 gig model at this very moment. I installed it as part of a system upgrade, along with new mobo/cpu/ etc. I was much annoyed to find that it made a very loud high pitch wine when first turned on, but that disappeared after about a day of use and has not come back yet (2 weeks and keeping fingers crossed).
