    Don't bother - it's an older JMicron model. If you buy it, enjoy the stuttering.

    If you do buy it, try using zflashpoint driver to accelerate small file writes into a larger single write. It may help with stuttering. Certainly increases my HDD performance.

    agreed. The cheapest OCZ I would go for is the Apex.

    Agreed. With this software write-cache, I've eliminated stutters, even while using a MLC Compact Flash card.
