I just purchased the Dane-Elec Intel G1 80gb SSD from Newegg. After installing it into my 2009 13" MacBook Pro and formatting the drive with Disk Utility I get the following error:

"Invalid node structure"

I create a new partition and install OS X Snow Leopard. The installer runs for about an hour, the display goes to sleep and then my Mac locks up. The only way to get it to respond is to perform a hard reset and start over. Unfortunately I get the same result.

Is my drive defective?
