    My Crucial M4 SSD 128GB 2.5" SATA-600 finally died. Could you please recommend a replacement. 500GB will do me. My MB is a ASUS P8Z68-V-Pro
    Thanks

    Western Digital WD Blue 3D NAND, Kingston SSDNow UV500, SanDisk Ultra 3D, Crucial MX500.

    All around £53-59 (€60-67), with good read/write speeds & 5+ year warranties.

    Personally I'd stick to manufacturers in the NAND business but I've no science behind that. Crucial = Micron. Sandisk are an OEM. WD are not, neither are Kingston I believe.

    Western Digital (WDC) are actually the 3rd-biggest NAND supplier behind Samsung & Toshiba. They also make their own controllers through their subsidiary SanDisk.
    Kingston are the owners of Toshiba Memory Corp.
