More and more reasonable on the price front, another 6 months of this and I might even consider buying one.

Does anyone know if MS have managed to optimise Windows for these yet or is that problem still present?

I think they're still quite a way behind, last I read. The lower these get, the more and more I think of changing the OS drive in the HTPC.

I'm hoping for a nice Intel (SLC) drive at a competitive price in the near future.
If anything purely for driving the price and performance bars down and up respectively.

*Edit: Unless I missed a Hexus press release more recently, it seems the enterprise level disk specs are public: http://www.intel.com/design/flash/na...reme/index.htm

Do these drives use the same JMicron SataII controller that the OCZ core v2 use?

Presuming this is the bridge controller, the demo from their site would indicate that they have their own custom solution with a native serial interface.

I recieved an email from supertalent specifically stating that it uses the exact same JMicron (JMF602) with no cache as all previous MLC SSD drives.

So expect this new OX MLC drive to studder just like the OCZ Core series.
