1.0 out of 5 stars Failed after 6 months, unable to exchange, July 18, 2012

This review is from: Crucial 64 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s CT064M4SSD2 (Personal Computers)
The SSD worked fine for about 6 months. Then it started crashing within minutes of booting up. After restarting, it would crash again. The data is preserved on the drive, but I was unable to resolve this problem even by flashing to the latest SSD firmware.
Since this drive was purchased from Amazon and well past the RMA date, I tried getting an exchange on the Crucial web site. To my disgust, the system would not recognise the batch or product number printed on my SSD.
Which makes me wonder whether the drives sold here on Amazon are "unofficial" products without manufacturer warranty.
The best (or worst) part is, these drives are actually 3 bucks cheaper on Crucial! So, just buy direct from them and get peace of mind.

This review is from: Crucial 64 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s CT064M4SSD2 (Personal Computers)
The Crucial M4 SSDs encounter a critical error that renders drives unstable after 5184 hours of use. Lockups, BSOD's and unrecognizable in BIOS are common. 5184, or approximately 7 months of total use. A BIOS update may fix this - but first you have to get the SSD powered up so your BIOS can find it! I've been through almost 75 cold boots with no luck. So AVOID the M4's unless the have the absolute newest firmware!!! Even after updating the firmware I still had the problems. Removing the SSD and replacing it with a different make and model fixed all the problems. This one was sent back. Newer models supposedly do not have this issue.
Unfortunately users were NEVER informed of this severe bug. I found out AFTER this paperweight basically bricked my computer. It BSOD'd while I was writing large files to several of my HDD's. I had to spend over a week recovering files because it trashed the drives - BSOD in the middle of writes. If there were a class action suit, I'd gladly join in. I'm STILL recovering 500,000 files from one drive. I had to spend almost two solid weeks fixing the mess this SSD caused.
If a manufacturer sells a product, and later find out it has a defect that can trash a customer's equipment, they should notify the customer! I have received recall notices through Amazon in the past, so I know Amazon would notify customers. I registered the drive when I purchased. There is NO EXCUSE for this type of behavior from a manufacturer. It took hours of online research. Amazingly, Crucial initially denied there was a problem. Why would they REFUSE to notify customers BEFORE they crashed? EVERY ONE of these drives with that firmware WILL crash, guaranteed. EVERY M4 drive. I'd love to here an explanation - why were customers never informed? Why not at least try to recover our data? It's still there - once Crucial fixed the firmware, the data would be accessible. But, no. Why go the extra mile to keep customers happy? Why not try and mitigate the damage? They could not care less.(I'd call it criminal negligence, but I'm not a lawyer)
An in-place firmware upgrade works if the SSD has not already crashed. If you have already crashed, the ridiculous method of resetting (unplug, reboot, wait, boot, wait, plug in, boot, wait, try again several times...) MAY allow your BOIS to find the HDD. MAY. Then you have to hope the update takes. Mine did not. It was replaced. All my data was lost, as Crucial REFUSED to recover the data lost due to their lousy design. I am NEVER purchasing a Crucial product again.
The replacement SSD sits on a shelf - no way I will EVER trust another product from Crucial. Would you trust your data to equipment manufactured by a company that initially denies there is a problem, refuses to notify users of this problem, and basically tells you to kiss your files goodbye?! Not to mention allows hardware to be released with this major defect? One that can literally physically damage your other equipment? I would not and will not.
It's akin to purchasing a brand new muscle car. Wow! Fast, powerful - does it all. You love it. But the moment the odometer hits 5184 miles the engine explodes, brakes fail, and you hit a wall. Not so much fun then.
