I think I must now withdraw that recommendation. I bought one (very very similar innards) for a client system (yesterday), and it died (permanently) while doing the install. There are other reports of the same sudden death with that brand, controller, and firmware revision.

Ugh. These drives were rock solid with older firmware.

So.. Intel G2 drives. Faster than mechanical media, significantly slower than the drive above, but very likely to have better engineered firmware inside.
