Thanks Todd,

that was the first SSD I installed.  I had Windows, SL6 and Ubuntu 11.04 
booting off of it and didn't notice a speed increase that was worth the 
cost.

It did work flawlessly for almost two years and with a sample size of 1 
I can't complain too much.  The next time I used a SanDisk because of 
favorable reviews and a good price.  We'll see.
