Ahh, so I won't be required to do all kinds of tests on it myself? I had to RMA a router once and they had me jump through all kinds of hoops to test it, then they sent me a new one, that had the same problem. I gave up and just bought a new one.

In that spirit this time around, because prices have dropped and I wanted more than 256gb anyway, I upgraded to a 500gb one of another brand and will be putting that in my regular system.

But if I can get a new one through RMA I'll drop it in my laptop. I didn't know the RMA system for Crucial was that easy. Guess I'll be on the phone tomorrow.

I don't know if this info applies to your SSD but I thought that I'd pass it along:
Quote:
At Computex 2015, Micron announced its 16nm B95 TLC flash. Third-party sources tell us the company is having issues with this product, with less than 60% of its cells usable. Retail drives ship with 97% or higher usable cells. On the surface, that sounds alarming. But all new flash goes through growing pains as the process is optimized. What the number really tells us is that Micron's 16nm TLC flash is still just far enough out that we don't need to consider it as an option for retail SSDs in 2015.

Thanks for the info, but my M4 is a really old model of SSD compared to the new stuff out. So I'm quite sure this doesn't apply to me, fortunately.
