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!"
I'd be interested in knowing why Ben picked the lg BD300 over samsung's BD-P2500/2550.
Because Samsung Blu-ray players don't have discrete IR commands for on and off. Besides the only thing about the 2500/2550 than the BD300 is the DVD playback quality, which is something I couldn't care any less about.
The Pandora streaming swayed me for my dad's Christmas gift. He had just lost his dish sirius music channels by going to cable, and the cable music channels suck. Pandora on the other hand is pretty sweet. You also already have your media center right there, so that makes the Pandora streaming pointless. When netflix allows hd streaming on PC, the netflix streaming will also be a less useful add on for you as well.
I'd also read about video processing problems with blu-rays. I wouldn't want to look over avs again to find it, but looking at cnet, you're lucky you have a Kuro that does 72hz because the player has no problems at 24 fps apparently. I wouldn't be so fortunate with my Panasonic plasma which also fails 3:2 pulldown according to hd guru.
