Pros & Cons
Pros
It runs fast as advertised but also runs cool. It's super fast and ultra light too.
Cons
Speed drops from 350 mb/s to 80mb/s. After a few seconds, the drive overheats and gives a speed of 50 mb/s. It stops working completely after about 10 or 15 minutes. Crucial fails to provide crucial information about the drive.

This is the first and last time i purchase anything from this company, micron crucial. Should have went for samsung. Broke on first use. Now i know why they had me pay the gst.

Price
Reasonably priced, good bang for the buck.

Packaging/appearance
Very happy with this purchase - it is a tiny ssd packing a punch with storage space.
It is what we expexted in a smaller package.
Competitiveness
It is not the fastest advertised speed out there (search sandisk extreme) but compared to the old hard-disk drives (hdds) that ... Read More
