Three failed drives in 6 months.
By T. Garrison
While Mushkin may have a great reputation for their RAM, their SSD products have a reputation for high failure rates; my experience validates this. Any SSD is going to have a higher failure rate than a spindle, but after restoring from backups for the third time this year I don't think I'll be putting another Mushkin SSD in my computer.

Wicked fast!
By Jason Kositarut
Works perfectly in my early 2011 MacBook Pro. Direct-swap replacement, no hacking to get it to fit. Shipped with latest firmware and is seriously wicked fast.

Not super speedy vs others out there - OK for storage, activity LED not implemented
By speck55
Drive works ok for entry level boot drive, but can definitely be beat by others in its class. Works OK as a storage drive, though. Don't get me wrong, the effect will be felt on a laptop coming from a 5400RPM or even maybe a 7200RPM spinner and isn't a bad choice if on a budget.The only beef I have is with the manufacturer and SATA PIN #7 - this pin is used for among other things, indicating disk activity. So if you have it in a hot swap tray with individual slot activity, it will operate, but you will not get the activity LED - which can be bothersome if you want to see disk traffic, for example to see which drive is being read from, or if a certain workflow hits a certain disk for "Temporary" space.The Deluxe is likely much more excitiing, but I fear it too will have the activity LED issue, which may sound a bit nit-picky, but when you are spending this kind of money on a drive, they could have at least done activity up right according to SATA standards.
