I just installed 256GBV4 from Crucial. It's screaming fast on my mid-2009 Macbook 15 inch Pro. Well worth it. Several years ago, ever since Apple released Snow Leopard, I thought that if I...

True...one thing the article does not mention is that SSD cells have a limited shelf life. Meaning they can only be overwritten a certain amount of times before they die. The SSD keeps tracks of...

Please back up your SSDs at least weekly to a magnetic drive. My Corsair F120 failed twice. All my saved games are gone.

Very true. I went from about a 30 second load up time on photoshop, to about 6 seconds with the upgrade to an SSD.

Ditto that. Put one in a basic intel core i3 laptop running windows 7 and it made an amazing improvement in boot time, downloading updates, restarts, and shut downs. The machine seems to operate...

I'd rather have a six year old laptop with an SSD, than a brand new one without an SSD. SSD's are THAT fast!! Computing power has doubled every 18-24 months. Hard drives are stuck in the...

Data recovery is virtually non-existent on SSDs and that's a good thing IMO. With TRIM enabled, once the file has been marked as deleted it's, for all intents and purposes, gone. Yes, some...

I have been really happy with the Crucial M4. They have gotten so cheap! I have purchased 3 and they have all exceeded my expectations.

It's a worthwhile upgrade, assuming you can swallow the price and size constraints, on any system!

It shouldn't but it's a good idea to check with mac users on a commonly used SSD since there have been problems in the past. Also you will need to take extra steps on OS X to get TRIM enabled.

would this be a worthwhile upgrade even on a $300 laptop (fujitsu lifebook lh531) purchased last year?
