    5 Stars
    Much Better than Expected Amazing
    Crucial has amazed me when it comes to value and performance. These perform above their competition yet at a cost that you can save and excel with. Would I purchase a Samsung Evo / Pro for a 2-5 second difference yet pay much more. NO these are in a SWEET spot for PC enthusiast looking for an amazing SSD solution from 240GB-2TB always in TOP tier either M.2 or 2.5 SATA versions.
