I just wish that OCZ would produce them in the 1.8" PATA/ZIF format...

O.o I wouldn't suggest that; unless you're running Xandros or another lightwheight Linux OS!(non-Ubuntu). Allthough the burst read/write values seem good, I wonder if the Random read/write will perform good as well... I expect drives like this to have several tens to a hundred of milliseconds latency in random enviroments, basically giving it 3-7MB/s throughput in random mode. Unless you can somehow tweak your OS to perform on an SSD, you can expect boottimes above 2 minutes. Exchanging a SLC with a MLC? O.o
