I have one stuffed up to 4GB in my Photoshop rig for temp files.
Works as advertised, not a single issue in almost two years and it
knocks off the SATA bandwidth available.

However, I had issues with it in another box where the BIOS (?)
corrupted the first sector of every 512M.

My verdict: good for home use, forget it for enterprise.

HTH,
Peter
