Comments about Crucial Technology 64GB M225 2.5" Solid-State Drive:
This is an excellent modest sized SSD. Installed in a 2010 MBP C2D. Roughly 10X faster than the 5400 RPM HD. It also came with the VERY latest firmware. Write speed will be better for larger drives but don't get crazy with this test stuff. Even this small SSD is WAY faster than a HD. Thanks B&H!

Comments about Crucial Technology 64GB M225 2.5" Solid-State Drive:
Using it as an OS HDD in a media center system. Loads everything very fast and never hangs up on opening programs. Only "complaint" would be getting the price down, but that will come with time...
