Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'll update later if the drive fails, but as of right now this is some good bang for the buck. MP34 500GB. Getting very good temps (is somewhat in air flow from CPU fan, in an uncluttered case) 27c idle and CrystalMark pushed it to 51c, might order a heatsink for the heck of it because why not. Speeds are good, particularly the read speed (read exceeded advertised speed) write speed is still good, especially for the price and compared to my Samsung SSD. EDIT: Write speeds have diminished approximately 75 percent after 11 months from purchase date. Going to go with another brand.
