Interestingly I have played a bit with these drives and they are basically unusable by desktop computers. Most SATA controllers recognize the drive, but the entire machine slows to an unusable crawl. A bit more research has shown that these drives are setup with 520bytes per sector vs. a normal 512bytes which really throws off the controller. Since these drives are OEM'ed Samsung, I tried their SSD tool kit, which didn't do squat.
I ran across this article but haven't had time to get back to it.
