Pros: I love supporting Micron and love even more that their latest SSDs (the BX100 included) are top-tier performers relative to competing products. This SSD has been deployed in a security appliance box and has so far performed flawlessly.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Of course, this SSD has only been in service for a little over a week so I can't comment on long-term performance/reliability. I will update this review accordingly if anything arises, however my experience with other Micron drives built on the same 16 nm process has been very positive.

Pros: It's good for my budget, fast and stable.
I can use Crucial Storage Executive to manage and upgrade firmware for this.
Will buy Crucial SSD for my next build.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Very quick SSD (For the year it was made and using the ACHI protocol still). Win 7 automatically picks it up at boot.

Cons: None really other than the ACHI protocol is going to be replaced soon by nVme

Other Thoughts: 120GB is great for a boot device, but only for such matters. Your better off getting a 240GB or above if you plan to put games, videos, or High Quality photos.

Pros: This drive has worked wonders for my start-up! I timed the start from a dead stop, and came to a impressive 37 seconds from button push to active desktop. That's including me selecting the account for Windows 7! This drive is marketed as the "affordable" SSD upgrade, and that is definitively what it is. If your'e looking for something to speed up your computer significantly, then I truly suggest you give this drive a shot. Although it is more expensive than its counterparts, the old adage, "you get what you pay for" stands true with this one. Trust me on this, it is TOTALLY WORTH THE BUY!

Cons: I'm only writing in here because they make me...

Other Thoughts: Why are you still reading this and not at checkout?

Pros: First few days and nothing but great performance. New build using this drive as boot drive and Windows 8.1 OEM (system builder). Cold boots to user login screen in about 12 seconds. So far it's a great drive, as expected from Crucial.

Cons: None

Pros: I have two crucial SSD's in my main rig, one is an M500 CT120M500SSD1 and the other is an CT240M500SSD1. Both have been excellent. Blazing fast and reliable, after a year I have had no issues and based on those two I would recommend Crucial. However...

Cons: I got an empty box. Nothing. Zero. One sealed, and empty box. I was so excited when the delivery came and I could put this build together that I had planned for weeks. But now I don't know if I can even get my order fixed. Can I RMA an empty box? Who wants to spend $150 on one 120gb SSD? This isn't 2013. Hopefully Crucial or Newegg can come through and fix this. I will be back to post updates. In the meantime I suggest that maybe you wait or look at a competitor. I still cant believe it. An EMPTY BOX.

Other Thoughts: It was empty.

Pros: -Price
-It's a Solid State Drive!
-Decently fast

Cons: -Not as fast as a Samsung or Intel
-No included bracket/screws

Other Thoughts: I bought this to upgrade a friend's macbook pro. According to a benchmark I saw online:

Here are the SSD speed results using CrystalDiskMark 64-bit:

- THIS DRIVE: Crucial BX100 250GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT250BX100SSD1 : 541 MB/s read and 377 MB/s write
- Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (MZ-7TE250BW) : 510 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write (with Samsung Magician performance boost turned off, insane speeds with it turned on)
- Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive CT256MX100SSD1 : 484 MB/s read and 460 MB/s write
- AMD Radeon R7 Series 240GB 2.5-Inch SATA III 7mm Ultra Slim SSD RADEON-R7SSD-240G : 468 MB/s read and 506 MB/s write
- OCZ Storage Solutions Arc 100 Series 240GB SATA III Ultra-Slim SSD ARC100-25SAT3-240G : 419 MB/s read and 429 MB/s write

Pros: Extremely fast. I would say this is the biggest difference in speed of any upgrade to my computer ever.

Cons: 120GB fills up fast. I would buy at least the 240GB size, if I had it to do again.

Other Thoughts: If you are thinking of buying an SSD, be ready to buy them for all your computers. Once you use a computer with an SSD, you will think all other computers are slow because of the spinner drives.
