N/A 6/16/2013 4:23:48 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Drive Pros: Good speeds when setup in a Raid 0 Installed Windows 7 Pro without any issues regarding drivers Cons: N/A Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/12/2013 4:01:42 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Fast and reliable Pros: Very fast -- blinding on random access and will almost saturate SATA3 on sequential reads/writes. Has been dead reliable thus far. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Does what it says on the tin. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/5/2013 8:55:47 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/52yrs old and still going strong! Pros: It's SSD, so yeah, it's fast. Very fast. And after 2 years of every day, 8+ hrs a day use (OS, a few utilities and several games) it's still going strong! Crystal Disk Info shows the drive as running at 100% health... after 2 yrs! Cons: None that I can think of. Other Thoughts: I bought this in June of 2011 and the price was $219.99. Now it goes for $129.99! One note: There are other Crucial M4 models (CT128M4SSD2BAA) out now that have the exact same specs, but also come with a mounting bracket and sata cable for just 5 dollars more. Lastly, I suggest using a program like Crystal Disk Info to check on the health/status of your SSD, and also google SSD drive tweaks for the OS you use and see which OS settings you should be enabling/disabling in regards to your SSD. This can have a big impact in your drive's longevity! (In my case, Win7 detected and set all the correct settings like TRIM, etc... so it was a breeze for me) Did you find this review helpful?

Replaced with a new one Other Thoughts: Will buy again. I'm sure it died do to multiple power outages within a months time and I don't have battery backup. So, Don't let this influence a purchase. Crucial is top notch when it comes to Memory and SSD's. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A 5/26/2013 1:38:44 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Great SSD Pros: fast easy to install Mine came with data transfer kit nice extra didn't use though. Cons: Maybe could have added an sata cable in the package. Other Thoughts: I am not new to SSDs i have many in my home.I bought this drive on a whim locally to try and resurrect an old core 2 duo e6600 machine it was previously ata 133 and was terribly slow. This drive even on the old sata II ports is performing awesome and brought new life to an old machine. Coming from that ancient drive to an sdd the no noise factor is amazing also. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Jeremie 5/17/2013 4:03:21 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Adendum on my last review Pros: I contacted Crucial about this problem, and they were really helpfull. They provided me with a reviving procedure (turn on the PC for 20 minutes, then turn it off and turn it back on) and it worked. The drive is back, as nothing happened. I'm must say i'm surprised, and i wasn't prepared for such a good service. Thanks Crucial! Cons: can cause sweating for thinking the computer is dead. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
