I'm still a little wary of the reliability of these drives. I think it's prudent to wait at least another half-year. It isn't the long-term lifetime of the memory itself, which is fine. It's the tendency of the drives to be dead within a couple months.

The drive stopped being recognized and despite a week of troubleshooting, and trying to restore, it was completely lost. However, the next drive I bought was an 80gb Intel X25m. The speed difference of these drives are truly amazing Buy yeah, I now back up my drive to an external disk.
