Anyone ever use this as a SSD in a computer ?

I will move files between my PS3 and Computer using this device. So I will say it will work as an SSD. I will mention for the sake of conversation that it will not accept files larger than 4gb if you have it formatted with anything other than FAT32. My PS3 only reads NTSC formatting so it wont see anything with it if its FAT32. Saying that, of course, if its just purposed as an SSD then it will work fine for you and will hold files of any size as long as you format the CF card with FAT32. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. I would do a little research first though. Check around on Google to see if anyone else has put an ssd in one.

I had to send mine back because the power key stopped working. It currently is dead due to possible hard drive failure. I don't have the heart to keep putting money into it, and the proprietary SSD business is crap.

Probably but don't bother. I got one of these for use with upgrading to a larger Samsung SSD and had lots of problems with it. The enclosure heats up VERY quickly and after a few minutes the USB connection dies and it disconnects from the system. It wasn't worth the effort to RMA it, but I certainly wouldn't buy another one.

As long as you don't change the motherboard, you're OK. I have changed out both my laptop and desktop (OS) hard drives to SSDs with no problem.There is a Microsoft Licensing FAQ on this --- it's under Refurbished/Used PCs.http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fbid=ZeL6n4MrK8a

I don't have an 850, but don't see any reason it wouldn't. I have tried a variety of SSD's (Kingston, Crucial and older Samsungs) and all work perfectly.

I wouldnt! I think it is used for cache and is software and hardware based. You would probably waste it. You need to look further but I though about buying a 256GB SSD for $120 on sale and replace the 500GB spinning drive with the new SSD and let it still cache if it likes I guess??? not sure lol.

I've not tried it but I would think you could. You lose all the speed though because it would reduce the SSD speed to FireWire 800 speed

I have had one SSD in a Dell for over 1 year and it seems to be performing fine as far a boo tup and shutdown speeds are concerned.

I would say yes. I am using only SSDs in it now but, I did put Hard Drives in it to test it before I got my SSD adapters for it and all worked very well.

Don't know - sorry - I am using mine as an external (e-sata) attached to a desktop.

I haven't tried to but Crucial sells 240gb 2.5 inch internal SSD for this computer for about 125 bucks. Is this what you mean??

Never tried. I am not sure. I am just using it with a regular Sumsung 2.5" SSD.

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

I have used this ssd drive in a laptop (windows 7), in a PC (windows 7), and an iMac (10.7.5) without issues
