The SNV125-S2/40GB is the "half an X25-M" drive which can be "often"

All in all, i have noone but myself to blame...and even with this mishap the ssd isn't "not worth the money" the 64 gb version is based on the second revision of the dreaded jmicron controller but according the my new research, the original issues with this controller were fixed before the release of this ssd.....so apparently they DO perform as expected. worst case scenario, i can use 2 to mirror my rpool and 1 for cheap l2arc. I also noticed intel sells a cheaper model of the x25 i want to say it was x25-v but i might be wrong...
