Anyone have issues with any current Micro/Crucial SSDs?
Micron/Crucial M4 (C300/C400?) SSD drives had a 5200 hour bug, and I am not sure how many models were effected, but how are their current drives?
The Crucial's current SSD specs in comparison seem right-up near a Samsung 840 Pro via userbench. I am looking to get my son a 1TB SSD for Christmas, and wanted to see if anyone had issues with Micron drives aside from the M4-ish. Last edited by the86d; 11-23-2018 at 4:57 AM.. |

Wasn't that a First or second generation issue with Crucial? I have several crucial drives, they are great. Never had the 5200 hour bug even with my 2nd generation m4. But then again, that one had all its firmware updated.

Even with current/latest firmware, although better, I still have to pull-power when the issue happens. A power-pull fixes it, and I am good for about 7 months, but about every 216 days... again, and it is always at the worst time, as I use the box for ssh tunnels, remotely. I still use is as the drive was free to me, as it was causing issues at work on a production machine. This is why I was reluctant to jump on the SSD bandwagon for so long. Our first 3-4 SSDs at work, and all of them had the same issue, and the drive wouldn't even be seen in BIOS/EUFI firmware when they acted up. We then saw SSDs as Windows, pre-SP2... and nobody wants those headaches... |

I just got him a Samsung 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM) for $127.98.
Not bad. Hell, it might be time for me to upgrade my data drive to a 1TB SSD, as the 500GB Samsung 850 Evo only has 64GB free. I could then use the EVO as my main drive instead of this Sandisk I have been using since 10-2014. |

No, I haven't. I have a Micron in one of my laptops. Solid performer. You might want to consider a SanDisk Ultra II+. Nice drives (I own several, including two, 960gb.) SanDisk dashboard is a decent piece of software, and they're superior performers for the budget minded.

BEST way to make sure it works? Re-install a bare windows to NVMe, use Macrium Reflect recovery media to pull image, You're GTG. |

If a Samsung, I think they let you use Samsung cloning software free, last I understood.
One could probably just dd one drive to the other with any Linux distro, then grow it once in Windoze. |

Macrium Reflect is the BOMB! Worth the purchase, however the free version will suit 90% of your needs. Last edited by Dragunov; 11-26-2018 at 5:35 AM.. |
