Oh well, I'll have two then.....

This is pretty cheap:

32Gb Transcend SSD Solid State Disk; external memory for laptops and desktop computers

Still, it's only 32GB..... not much use really

Care to elaborate? Never used anything made by them I don't think, perhaps an SD card....

Aha.... don't know much at all about SSD.... you're right it is pants! Interesting to see that the Raptor does well... thought SSD was supposed to be far superior to standard drives... obviously not yet. Will keep hold of my £800 for a while yet then...
