Anyone try/use PCIe Solid State Drives?

I just built my Astaro box with: MSI Industrial IM-945GSE-A Atom Mini-ITX Mainboard
I got it from Logic Supply: Logic Supply - Leaders in Mini-ITX & Small Form Factor Solutions

I was thinking of replacing the normal SATA drive with a solid state drive for the ultimate in reliability and low power, no moving parts, etc.

I think that motherboard will take one of these:
Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Hard Drives,Solid State Disks,Mini PCIe (PATA)

Yes? No? Anyone try these? Any issue with the Astaro software? These probably aren't too popular cause most home builders have old laptop drives hanging around and those are cheap/free, but with these prices coming down in the sizes the astaro box needs, this might be a decent option.

Ducatiboy,

Many of the SSD devices noted there are MLC. I think you will find that they will be very fast in the beginning then slow down with usage. If you are interested in SSD devices, I recomend that you look as SLC memory type. Also you might want to look in to the standard IDE/PATA, SATA, or SCSI designed to be a direct hard drive replacement. Here are some URL's:
