I've used older 256GB crucial SSD's, and they're fast, but that laptop eventually developed stability problems. After I stopped using that laptop, I found info on the TRIM problems seen in some SSD's. This is a long but excellent article from Adam Surak at Algolia.

I'm not sure if the "trim list" link in the article (libdata-core.c) is current or not, but it's worth reading:

Unfortunately, the product name "CT512MX100SSD1" in your Amazon may not match what the device actually reports to the OS.

I saw that deal, but I'm wary of buying crucial ssds as every single one I've bought has failed on me within 18 months. As far as SSDs go, I thought the advice was to stick with Intel: is this still true?

I stopped using crucial SSD's after I had several with the 5200 hour firmware bug. Perhaps you were experiencing the same issue? I was able to upgrade the firmware but now go with Intel SSDs.

What's with that URL?
