Pros: -Known compatibility if you check against Crucial's website -Good price

Cons: -None that I can think of

Overall Review: I'm partial to Crucial because they make quality products and their website lays out very clearly what's compatible with your system.

Pros: -Excellent Performance -Affordable Price

Cons: -None to speak of so far

Overall Review: I purchased this because I wanted an affordable 1TB SSD, and while Samsung's 850 Evo had the best price reviews pointed towards a painful warranty claim process. The Mushkin was only slightly more expensive, but reviews for returning defective drives have an overall much more positive tone about the manufacturer's willingness to right the issue. I've had mine for about 2 months and no issues. Replaced a 7200rpm drive, so naturally it feels blisteringly fast. I'll likely be getting more for my other 2 laptops.
