Pros: Those Crucial BX100 will give you a ton for your bucks, period. You are thinking of putting them in Raid and you want some numbers? Here you go: 134,000 substained IOPS at 4K Random QD32 READS -AND- WRITES when running 3 of them in RAID0 Sequencial Read : 1600MB/s Sequencial Write: 1059MB/s 4K Random QD32 Read: 520MB/s (133,000+ iops) 4K Random QD32 Write: 512.7MB/s (131,000+ iops) This 3 new drives are 65% to 300% faster than my 3x Sandisk Extreme2 on the same controller (MSI G43 motherboard) using half of the SATA 3 for each raid build (but note that the Sandisk are my C drives and formatted in 4k Blocks vs 64k Blocks for the crucial) I had 130gb worth of VMs on my C drive and exported the 8 of them simultaniously to my new array in less than 3minutes. Enjoy!

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: At the time of the purchase, I truly hesitate between Crucial BX100 and the Samsung Evo 850. I believe that I would have achieve greater numbers with the Samsung 850 but not by much. At almost 30% price difference, and buying 3 more drives for my tower, I did save about 120$ for the whole setup, which must be taken into account here. Today, after benching the Crucials, I have no regrets!

Pros: Price / spec is amazing, really good value, amazing for gaming and every day work if they don't break........

Cons: Bought two of those less than 6 months ago. Left green already has a green burned pixel, right screen has a red burned pixel....

Overall Review: Consider buying with full protection that cover return shipping because they are crazy expensive to send back, which... at the end of day, means that you will probably stuck with burned pixel like me :'(

Pros: Works on Windows 10 64bits using the Windows 8.1 64bits drivers. + comes with an extra smaller bracket

Cons: Driver installation is pretty much manual from device manager, no executable for less techsavy people (took one egg off for this)

Pros: At only 20$ more than the celeron cpu, this processing is definitely worth it. And the low power consumption makes it even better 87$, Pentium G3258 @ 4001 bench (cpubenchmark.net) vs 64$, celeron G1840 @ 2975 bench

Cons: none

Pros: Ordered 5 of them, all in working conditions, plugged them into a cheap mobo/cpu, installed win2012, created a 9TB parity pool and voila, NAS is up and running in the house, with block dedup, thin provisioning and nic teaming. Drives do not use too much power, my custom built NAS is pulling only 85W from the wall, when active

Cons: none

Overall Review: Crystal Disk Mark on the pool shows: SEQ 32QD reads: 484MB/s SEQ 32QD writes: 65MB/s 4k 32QD IOPS reads: 1382 4k 32QD IOPS writes: 485

Pros: I must say, for 50-60$, you can't go wrong here. This is the perfect drive to speed up your OS drive on your htpc or old laptop. Delivering exactly as advertised, good deal! Read IOPS at 4K & QDpt32: 64500 (advertised 70k) Write IOPS at 4k QDpt32: 35500 (advertised 40k) See Other thoughts for more benchmark results

Cons: none really, for the price, you can't go wrong

Overall Review: Without updating the firmware or anything, just out of the box, using CrystalDiskMark, READ and WRITE: SEQ Q32T1 519MB/s and 142.5MB/s 4K Q32T1 264MB/s and 141.5MB/s SEQ 514.2MB/s and 141.6MB/s 4K 27MB/s and 54MB/s

Can't complain on my first order from Mike's Computer Shop, I got my printer in less than 2 days, as promised

We received the printer tray, from Mike's Computer Shop in 2 days (also ordered from Newegg on the same order actually), as expected, while the actual printer from BigDeal arrived 1 or 2 weeks later... looks like not all resellers are equal, and I will never order again from BigDeal
