When upgrading to a solid state drive, you imagine that you will be able to see an improved performance and quick boot. This product not only achieves record speeds, it surpasses my expectations. Worth the cost.Be aware of one issue with the Crucial m4 SSDs. A bug in the firmware was discovered on early firmware builds (before version 0309) that cause the SSD to brick after 5182 hours of runtime. It is very important to update the firmware following instructions available on Crucial's website. The bug specifically is an error that occurs when the SSD writes to the SMART counter after 5182. Without the update, your computer will BSOD every hour until the firmware is updated.Even with the "doomsday clock" bug, I still give it 5 stars.

I have always trusted Crucial memory and that was a major influence on my choice to go with a Crucial SSD. Second factor was the M4 has a 6Gb/s interface. The boot speed and overall performance of my laptop is remarkable. Having no moving parts makes for a super quiet experience. Plus I don't have to worry about picking up my machine and moving it while its running since there is no spinning hard drive platter to disturb.While I have not yet tried fully running down the battery with the SSD, based on the estimated battery runtime I have gained about 25%. I used to see 4 hours with a fully charged battery and a 7200rpm hard drive. Now I see 5+ hours estimated with the SSD when the machine starts up unplugged. And I am sure I can spend time tweaking the power settings to squeeze more life on a charge but I don't normally run for long stretches on battery. But now I supposed I could!The Windows "Experience Index" that has a max score of 7.9 in each category now shows 7.9 for my primary hard disk transfer rate. I guess this is a good as it gets as far as Microsoft is concerned.Is an SSD worth the cost: YES. Absolutely.

My Lenovo T420S requires a 7mm drive.This fits the bill, but after two drives, I'm going to have to give it one star.I bought two versions of the drive. One as a kit with a USB 2.0 drive and Apricorn's cloning software. I ran it under Windows 7 and it was a breeze. It was only later that I realized there was an (unbundled/kit) version that had a usb 3.0 adapter.Transfer and upgrade was a cinch. I did have a couple problems putting the drive in the 7mm slot. Something wasn't lining up right, and I only had this problem with the Crucial drive, not my original HD.Speed was good, and I got used to it in the two days that I was working with it. Boot time was excellent.One day, I went to turn on the machine, and I got an error that my system couldn't boot. After several attempts, including removing battery and power, it still wouldn't boot. The bios wouldn't recognize it. I had already done the firmware upgrades to bring it up to 010G, because I had heard of issues with previous firmware versions.I removed the drive and used both the Apricorn cable, and other sata cables to try and read it, and it just would not be recognized as anything. I tried the same sata cables and used other sata hdd and they were recognized.I returned it via Amazon, and ordered the same drive, but this time, separately, with a USB 3.0 kit this time.Same sequence: installed, usb3.0 transfer went much faster, installed the system.But having read some of the forums, I realized that the power had drained on my laptop, right before the problem. So I ran down the laptop to empty the battery. Then I encountered the same problem.Went through the same process of testing other hdds, trying the SSD on a usb connector and other computers. Still, completely bricked.Then, I read where one user "charged" it or let it sit under sata power for about 30 minutes, and it came back to life.I did the same, and mine eventually came back.But I'm too nervous to have that happen again, and I'm very wary if this will be the case with all SSD's. I also don't like the idea of having to remove the drive from your laptop, find another working system to "charge" your SSD back to life again. I'm going to try a different manufacturer
