Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2BAA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Very fast and reliable. Comes with mounting bracket and cable.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I've been using it for 14 months now and it's as fast as day one. Will buy a second one when they go cheaper.

Pros: Works great so far!
Very fast drive quicker then Vertex 3 ive done client builds with.
Boot time from On button to win7 is 14-15sec. Very impressive my Vertex 3 drives never did it that quick.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Another reason im going to support Crucial from now on is they are actually a Idaho company (Micron). Works great so far but should it fail ill report back with that info.

I see alot of people complaining about failures or formatting. You SHOULD expect to have to format every drive you buy new, Windows 7 these days has the option to do this in install process so thats not hard. Also get Diskeeper to maintain SSD's like they should be. Dont defragment SSD's like you would Spin drive, Also check google on what settings should be enabled in windows when running SSD's - I dont run sleep or hibernate on my computers its not good for ssd's.

Pros: This SSD is fast and boots windows in about 6 seconds.
The price and size seems pretty good.
Came with its own bracket to install.
Came with Sata cable as well.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Intel i5-3570k
16GB G.SKILL Sniper Series 1866
Crucial 128GB SSD (boot drive)
Western Digital 1TB (storage drive)
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
EVGA SuperClocked+ GeForce GTX 680
CM Hyper 212 Evo
CM Storm Series Trooper ATX Full Tower

Pros: No failures since day 1

Cons: None to report

Other Thoughts: I use this as an SSD cache. Yes, it is large for this, but I wasn't sure if I would want it as another drive instead. I wanted a bigger one in case I changed my mind.

I don't know how it compares to other drives on the benchmarks, but it hasn't crapped out yet. I'm happy with it.

Pros: Worked fast while it lasted.

Cons: Failed like a brick in less than a year.

Other Thoughts: This is the 3rd Crucial M4 SSD that has failed on me. I've used them ini three different machines - one laptop and two different desktops. I'm back to mechanical hard drives until SSD's prove themselves.

Pros: Works really well. I use it to host my OS and it takes the drag out of Windows. Particularly upon start up and shut down.

Cons: Prices went down on SSD's, but at a certain capacity level the price is still to high. So I would say that the price would be the major negative.

Other Thoughts: Great complimentary drive for hosting the OS, if you want it to be your primary drive I would go bigger (500GB+).

Pros: All I have to say is this thing is fast. I waited to build my first computer until the Dell from 2006 died. Lucky for me, it finally died. My brother, an IT person talked me into splurging on the SSD for my boot drive and I am glad that I did. Unless I use the direct key on my MOBO, there is no getting into the BIOS before windows boots. I keep as little on this drive as possible and load most everything on my WD Caviar Black 1TB drive. The price/performance was incredible considering I got the M4 on sale. I hope I get a couple of good years out of this drive.

Cons: Wish I would have bought 2 at this price.

Other Thoughts: None

Pros: Super fast! Want more of these! 10 seconds into Win 7 past password! 30 seconds from cold boot (Including typing password)

Cons: Can't update firmware on my computer due to UEFI Bios. I am planning to take it out and flash firmware on an older MB. SSD must be installed label down, which is a bit annoying, but not really a con.

Other Thoughts: This model comes with the 2.5" drive adapter which I didn't need.

Pros: Got 2 in raid 0 for my 2010 12 core Mac Pro and those are fast!

Cons: Never had a single issue.

Pros: Worked perfect first time right out of the box.

WAY FASTER THAN TRADITIONAL HARD DRIVE (as in compared to ONE mechanical hard drive. instead of a minute and a half my computer starts in less than 30 seconds)

Cons: none so far
