Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Dave - No it wasn't. The samsung player was only delayed in Europe, and the Sony delay to August we posted about back in April. Some misinformation has been spreading around a few sites, but Samsung confirmed to Engadget yesterday that the BD-P1000 is on track to ship on the 25th.
