    I don't know but my 120GB Super Talent just died after about a week of use. If you look at the comments on Newegg (where I bought it) you will see that several people have had this problem.

    Apparently a lot of the Super Talent MLC drives die within the first few months... Also, the Samsung SLC drive has far superior write performance.

    Well if everyone had a drive that died, I'd say Super Talent would be having a lot of problems eh :p Even 1-2 out of 10 is a pretty big deal.
