Strange how two different variants of the same OS would behave differently.I only had experience with their flash drives, so I can't vouch for ADATA's reliability when it comes to SSDs.
Do you have any experience with ADATA SSDs? Amazon has a 240GB model for only $24.99, and it does have a 4.5 star rating. I've seen ADATA SSDs in computer stores before but always went with something a little more well known like a WD, but if this particular SSD is getting decent ratings, then I may spring for it given it's low price.
I also find it amusing how extremely cheap bluetooth speakers steal OS sound effects. I recently bought one to use with Bluebell (2009 MacBook) since the built in Macbook speakers aren't great at all. When you turn it on, you're greeted with a stolen Windows Vista/7 alert sound. I also have another BT speaker from "Craig" that steals the Mac OS installation/burn successful sound when you power the speaker off. I think I should get video of these for the lulz.
As for Bluetooth speakers, I find it lulz when devices such as those use the now-infamous BL-5C battery.
