I guess I'm next on the list. After trying out an older Patriot SSD that I was not impressed with (2 years ago now), I figured it was time to try again. So I ordered an 80GB Intel X25-M drive for my work laptop to replace my 320GB Scorpio Black.

Should be able to slap it in on Monday and do some benches after I get back in the office.

Oh yeah. And I bought a Patriot Box Office for home.

Sweet little system. I threw in a spare 250GB 7200RPM laptop drive I had kicking around and have not had a problem wit hit yet (got it about a week ago). I have all of my son's movies loaded on it in divx and now I don't have to worry about him scratchin the crap out of his discs.

Have you tried playing mkv files with the Patriot Box Office? I see on their forums there's some complaints about mkv's skipping. Been wanting to get one for awhile now.

I haven't yet but I will as soon as I can get a chance. Right now I have pretty much kept it on divx as that is primarily what I download.

I'll keep you posted on the results.
