Intel has built a good reputation for their SSDs.

If you value your data/reliability then Intel is the way to go. (Read More)

I purchased both the 240GB and 120GB versions on the Boxing Day sale mainly because they were priced so low. I have always heard how fast these SSD's were so I thought I would put one in each of my PCs. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the overall speed boost that I experienced. I decided to go with Intel because they are supposed to one, if the most reliable SSD's on the market. If anything goes wrong, at least I have a 5 year warranty to back it up. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone. Worth every penny! (Read More)

I had an Intel 510 120GB in my PC, and needed to upgrade. I did a LOT of research into Intel when buying that 510, and only did a little bit when buying this one because of how well the last one performed. I learned that the M4's and the Intel drives were VERY close in design, with very few differences, however, I was aware the M4's performed better. Every benchmark out there will prove that.

This may be the best 240gb SSD drive on the market. The firmware is solid and not likely to create  problems for you down the road.

Setup was quick and painless. It comes with everything needed for installation; mounting adapter and SATA cable. (Read More)

Great SSD for the most part. Bench marks are in the normal range for this type of SSD.

The only issue is with this SSD and Intel Rapid Storage on the X79 board. If IRS not updated to version 3.2 then S.M.A.R.T will not work on the SSD which renders part of Intel tool box not working. ALso causes other SSD monitos to not work at all. Also an issue with programs like SSDlife not properly recording the runtimes properly. E.G. mine shows a total run time 894835 hours (102.2 years. Know issue but unable to find a fix for it yet. (Read More)
