Additional info - 1 per customer, each and $22 to ship to Canada, you have to click Checkout and do it later. If you enter postal on the first page and click estimate it just tells you that you suck.

Guess I have some laptops getting upgrades

I have tried to order m4's that were referb from them multiple times and it always seems to get this type of email later in the week

We are sorry but this product failed to ship because we had to many orders.

Not to say don't try but don't get your hopes up.

well they already took the paypal so they had better send me the SSD or there will be hell to pay ;-)

That blows. I've gotten in on some of those in the past so they "work" but I guess YMMV :/

Shitty GC firmware. I have worked directly with micron on B2B applications... they denied that the performance issues were their fault for a good month before giving a half assed fw patch.... and all they did was fix the trigger for the gc routine. The routine was still crap it just didn't trigger for a longer duration. NAND on those 480GB drives is only rated for ~40GB per day. They perform OKish if you write in small burst and trim after.

I'll be using it for VMs and such. Will likely reserve 25% of it for reserve. Good to know though about the firmware issues.

My 960GB arrived today.

Power on count = 1
Total time = 0

Either it's brand new or they reset S.M.A.R.T.

Benchmarks as expected.

At the price, I have no complaints. Don't know what I'll be using it for yet, gotta give it some thought.

Considering almost every time I have flashed their firmware I have lost all drive stats... I would go for reset.

got mine too, no issues.
