    There's some decent discussion on the 64gb version here.

    If you can eek out a few more bucks I would strongly recommend getting a larger drive. This drive is only 2x gb and there's hardly any space left after you install windows.

    32GB is definitely not enough when you are running W7 64-bit

    I haven't done any benchmarking, but I have that model and I haven't had any problems. (Note: I am not running Windows, and I bought this drive as a ZFS cache drive, not as the primary drive. Size therefore was not as much of an issue.)

    I should also mention that I do not run Win7. I use Ubuntu 11.04 and will be upgrading to 11.10 LTS when it drops.

    I think 16GB will definitely be enough.

    DStaal: You are able to boot from it though if you wanted to right?

    Yes. (Actually my intended OS needs a bit of work to get support really ready, so until FreeBSD 9 is released I'm using Linux. I'm currently running Fedora using a virtual drive that spans it and the HD, but I believe I managed to get it to put things on the SSD first.)
