The title of my review is because of my heart on this.
There are more powerful but not at that price (based on Giga) in the end of 2014
I am happy with my purchase for a 1st SSD I'm doing well.
In addition, the crutial MX100 comes with a license of "Acronis True Image HD 2014".
You must register (for a key of 64 characters), the software installation is rather slow but once done, it was a disk management software (and cloning) very complete with a French interface which is always nice in the mass of software in English (note that the publisher is british).
I advise all those with older trays hard disk drives (HDDs); SSD like this speeds up boot time (OS and applications) but also the access time and gives a real boost to the computer.
Whether you are on Win 7 or 8 OS recognizes the very fast and Win 8 offers within 10 s disk initialization
If you want to change your HDD to your laptop, I suggest you take the trodden USB docking station for 2.5 and 3.5 inch disk.
This will allow you to do a disk to disk cloning (it simplifies the change for 25 more)
In summary,
Most:
The price / quality ratio
The license for cloning software
The least:
The 3-year limited warranty.
