I would be extremely leery about the use of Crucial SSD’s. While they have been a strong product line in the past, their quality control of late has translated into products that do not work. Most recently they have been accused of flooding the market with product that they know to be defective. Buyer beware!<BR>
<BR>
We got lured lured in by their defective product, and spent many wasted hours, doing problem analysis and OS rebuilds. When we dug in further through research on the net, and confirmed what is printed above, we abandoned Crucial and quickly moved to another product.<BR>
<BR>
At our remote site we are using OCZ (x2) and SANDISK. Both have been great performers.<BR>
<BR>
We are running Centos on all SSD’s. (DNS/Web/Mail, DSTAR and Allstar).<BR>

<BR>
I imagine that the drives are transparent and should have no OS problems?<BR>

Here is a link to one that looks like it would work -<BR>
