This review is from: Crucial M500 CT240M500SSD1 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Pros:
Purchased during BF sales.
Cons:
Slow consumer SSD but decent controller.
Bought two for (2) HP DV4 laptops. Laptop #1 accepted SSD (imaged from original HDD) and has ran fine for 2 weeks. Laptop #2 refused to boot properly and HP's firmware-level diagnostic tools reported HD failure. Attempted image twice. Finally imaged a SanDisk Ultra II SSD and runs great.
SanDisk Ultra II is currently $10 more and WELL worth the extra $$. Bench-marked both M500 and Ultra II with CrystalDisk. Ultra II faster overall and 4k read/writes are MUCH faster, higher IOPS. SanDisk toolbox/dashboard software is much better too.
Overall Review:
Returned to Newegg within 30 days and Shoprunner eligible. :)
