PS CS4 cannot be installed on flash-based drives. WTF?

I translate "cannot" in minimum requirements listings as "is not supported."
Best is subjective, X25-E is old news (check the "News" forum once in a while ), limited capacity.Intel's X25-E Extreme solid-state drive. All I can say is Wow. It isn't cheap for its size but it certainly is the best SSD, by far, that I've seen tested.
Incorrect.
More reasonable translation: We tried this and couldn't get it to work right. Or, we tried this and it broke something else. Or, we didn't have the time/money to try this, so we don't know if it works.
If they hated their customers, they'd require QuickTime.

David will probably have one by next week. I'll wait until January.
It is interesting, but limited to an OS supported by the drivers. Perhaps one of those and an SSD would be a good combination.
That X-25E sure is enticing. What is the current consensus opinion of Intel? Will their SDD drive be reliable enough to use for a few years?
Tech Report said:The X25-E Extreme's expected lifespan will, of course, depend on how many gigabytes of write-erase operations are thrown at it. Even with 100GB of write-erase per day, it'll take more than 72 years to burn through the drive. Couple that with the Extreme's two-million-hour Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating, and one can probably expect the drive to last.
The X25-E is fast, really fast.
So you bought one, eh? Lucky you! Now how fast is fast?
It should work on any SATA controller, but SATA II is needed for good performance. I'm getting sustained reads of 240-250 MB/sec (some fluctuations) and writes of 200-205 MB/sec. The latter is a pleasant surprise since the write specs in the datasheet indicate only 170MB/sec. However, 200+ write speed is being reported by other people as well.
Is it necessary to mount the drive?
I meant, can I use double sided foam tape or something of the sort? There are no screws or holes in the case to mount it like a hard drive.
Imagine how quick these suckers are going to depreciate....
There is no way I'm scaling down to 32GB.
