Though there are better performing SSD the fact is that this SSD is in the $0.50 to $0.70 per GB and significanly faster than a 7200 rpm hard drive. Great transition from mechanical drive to SSD. If looking for more performance and a more reliable drive that can handle more constant read and writes as well as more random read and writes since Windows purposely uses any where from 2gb to 4gb in the harddrives for virtual RAM use. So paying up to $0.90 to per GB is still reasonable as of Sep.2014. I personally have found it like a good drive to buy and to lower my load times and great for everyday work and the occasianal games I do with it.
I own a late 2007 Macbook white (Intel core 2 duo 2.2Ghz) with 4Gb RAM. I installed a Seagate Momentus 500Gb hybrid drive last year... it was very good. BUT I have just upgraded to OSX Lion, and installed this new 256Gb Crucial SSD and its amazing. The machine runs even faster than ever. It's a FOUR year old Apple Macbook and it's way faster than my new work PC desktop. It starts from bootup in 27 secs. It loads tricky progs like Final Cut Pro in under 30 secs. Fantastic piece of kit. I had read that older Macbooks have slower data transfer times, so won't really benefit from this kind of SSD...but this is not the case, it's noticably quicker. thanks
It is identical to the card we use with our video cameras and deck, but for some reason we could not get it to work. Our media director work at it and made several calls, and finally he got it to work. So I'm satisfied, but wasn't sure I would be at first. It is a good buy for the product.

I have now re-energised 2 laptops by replacing the disk with a SSD and the results are impressive. The Crucial M4 is a reasonable price and has worked well in my system. Con - you don't know how hard it has been used and therefore how long it may last. So far has been excellent

This is a great performance improvement in obsolete notebook or desktop. After clonning your old hard drive your notebook or desktop changes its performance to incredible levels. Its a very good choice if you do not want to change your old pc. All programs will work as before you change the HD but faster. I recommend !!!
