Great drive, but be sure to update the firmware on it.

Just this weekend, I noticed my machine had hung. So I rebooted. Almost exactly 1 hour later, the machine hung again. I was using it, so it wasn't like it was power saving or hard drive spinning down or whatever. I thought it might have been a driver thing because I had a failed graphics driver installation, but I re-did that and still ... every time, it rebooted after almost exactly an hour. So finally I find someone else having exactly the same problem as me ...

Apparently, this exact Crucial 64GB SSD drive has a problem that occurs after about 5,000 hours of use. I did the math from when I bought mine, and I think it syncs up. (because my computer is always on - 5000 hours is 6 months, and I bought the drive about 6 months ago).

So "they" said that a firmware update would fix this... and lo and behold, it did! So make sure to update your firmware.

Great Drive!

we have a P4 3.0ghz in the kitchen which was super slow installed one of these did a fresh xp install and the difference is amazing.

The computer should be good for a few more years or at least until Intel comes out with their new must have 2015 processor.

Great drive and the price was about what I paid for mine (at the time a newegg shell shocker deal)
