Interesting.  I wonder why not.  The flash is (should be) stable and the logic to flush the remapping data to flash when it notices that power has gone critical should be straight forward and bomb proof.

Marius et al,

 

Be aware and the Intel 900P series SSDs do not have power loss protection, so the data could get "scrambled" by power loss or system abend/restart.

 

Otherwise, they are unbelievable drives!!  (If not a _little_ pricey – 150% premium)
