Derek - I think you made a bad choice with the Samsung disks. I'd recommend the Intel 160Gb drives if its not too late to return the Samsungs. The Intel drives currently offer the best compromise between different work loads. There are plenty of SSD reviews and the Samsungs always come out poorly in comparison testing.
