Crucial 256GB M225 2.5" Solid-State Drive 256GB

Very Fast for 2010 and still pretty snappy in 2015. Just pulled it from my old laptop and putting in another faster latop that had a 5400rpm HD in it. Bought it back to life

Old out of date. Much faster options now but if you can get this allot cheaper then it will not disappoint

Ran well for almost two years. Decent performance, best price for capacity at the time

Died at about two years

It's an SSD

Defective design, extremely high failure rate, Crucial screws customers

Fast, like all ssd's

As noted, dead after a year, this may be the norm for SSD's but after reading other reviews, I will live by the backup

Nice average SSD. It was on sale and was cheapest 256Gb drive when I got it. Win7 rating of 7.3, HD Tune avg read speed of 215-225MB/S. Win7 load time aprox 15-20 mins. Boot time is about 35-40 seconds avg. from pwr up on evga classified 3x, with both...

Kinda wish it came with mounting screws or velcro considering the price

Speedy, great price, low heat

Not quite as fast as claimed in real use but still amazing

Yes they are fast. Even faster with Encryption slowing them down a bit

DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! Headache! We orginally ordered 7 drives for our developer laptops. They worked great for about 2 months. Then we had two completely die. RMA'd and updated frimware. Made sure we were using the trim util. Then three others died. Two we...

Fast. I use it with my Tradestation and Ninjatrader PC to trade futures

Remember that SSDs need periodic ATA TRIM utility run on them. Crucial has a Trim utility. Download it and run it once a week. Also run the latest firmware updates on the SSD firmware as soon as you buy a new drive

wicked fast ; easy to install

failed by corrupting files, then would freeze my sata controller at boot cause it would respond til power cycled a few times ; Other con is the amount of time it takes to do an RMA with newegg.. I'll update this review once I get the new unit

Fast, cool, quiet

The pro's don't out weight the cons when you buy an SSD expecting to get a few years of life from it anyway. Purchased it in Sept of 09 and it died Jan of '10. Not to terribly impressed with "The Memory Experts
