Re: SSD's and Linux

A bit more searching revealed that it has an issue with the Intel 945
chipset (and variants). Apparently OCZ haven't acknowledged that there's
such a problem but there were a lot of frustrated posts out there of people
stating they were just going to take 'em back.

Went and get it exchanged this morning for a lower capacity but similarly
priced Intel unit. Given that I'm such a hoard, I'm wondering how I'm going
to handle only having 40GB to pay with.
