  • I've had SSD RAIDs since 2008, and in all the systems i've set up for me and my family, i've had 11 SSD. 1 of the ones i bought in 2008 (32GB Mtron) failed in 2011 after laying on a shelf for a year after relatively heavy use for 2 years, it was covered by warranty but they were out of production, so i got a (128GB) Samsung 830 as a replacement.

    Overall, i'd say SSDs are more safe than harddrives, and by a good margin if you don't do firmware upgrades right after they are released.

  • @ReinhardSchuster yeah man my Speeds are off the chain !! its like I landing in Drive space OZ ! Skyrim no more frame issues !! Batman runs mint !! BF3 runs perfected !! its like I died and gone to Speed freak heaven .

  • @navthejattnsc lol to late .... already got another one .... HDD is dead to me now .

  • @DefectedSalvations M4 ist the best i have so far, all other were crap

  • @DefectedSalvations lol no one buy's ssd for storage, get another M4 and raid them!!!

  • @darthirakli I got the new Crucial M4 Drive 128 GBs this will be my first SSD .... If I like it I will buy another SSD next month for extra storage

  • @2112gil Crucial drives are generally very good. However, as always, I would suggest reading reviews before buying one.

  • a*s h*les ! turn the bloody music down at the end

  • Does anybody know if Crucial is a good brand for SSDs?

  • they need to to make these things allot cheaper!
