I wonder what "refurbished" means? Given the limited write cycles, if they've already been used how do you know they aren't going to start failing in 31 days..? |

That model was released, what, less than a year ago? More often than not, refurbished means customer returns. Crucial stick on a test bench, run a few scripts and then give it a clean bill of health (or not). I seriously doubt it's going to fail any time soon. I'll let you know in a month or so.

My 64GB drive arrived on Saturday morning. Fitted it to a laptop that used to take around a minute to boot to desktop. It now takes about 30 seconds, and is much more responsive. Of course, a three year old laptop won't benefit from the full speed of the drive, but it still made a huge difference. |

Well (see tails of fail) - tried to fit it and after a long argument with a screw managed to open up the HDD case and oops  its an IDE and not a sata so thats bugg3redSo I could (its the 64G) put it inot my main PC as a boot drive but its all set up with RAID etc so it wont be a simple image and install but a complete W7 re-install NOt sure how much appitite I ahve for that - will need to thinkabout it Could of course always put it into an enclosure and use it as a massive USB stick! |

How much did it cost you? I'm always buying SSD's for our new work PC's (mini-ITX jobs) so might be interested in buying it off you. |
