So my 32GB M.2 SATA SSD just died after a month's use. Could you guys recommend me a replacement 42 mm drive for my laptop? Anywhere between 128GB and 256GB, preferably under $100.
Was looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-Super-Cache-Solid-State/dp/B00EZ2E8NO
but wasn't sure of the durability of these drives.
Bump
I am not very sure about either of these models but I would trust Adata a bit more http://www.amazon.com/ADATA-USA-Premier-0-85-Inch-ASP900NS34-128GM-C/dp/B00LBDJZBA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1436201774&sr=8-3&keywords=256GB+2242
Finding a 240/256GB 2242 M.2 drive is definitely going to cost more than $100 though.
EDIT:
The reviews seem pretty reasonable and positive but looks like it depends on the person so your luck may vary.
That's too long. Has to be 42 MM, otherwise I can't screw it in.
Yes an M.2 2242 is a 42mm M.2. I am referring to the 128GB model. Like I said, you are not going to find the capacity of 256GB for a M.2 2242 for less than $100.
Whoops, was looking at the wrong one haha. I'm fine with 128GB as long as the drive is reliable. I store most of my stuff on my desktop anyways.
Okay, also if you are willing to spend a little more there is this Transcend 256GB M.2 2242.

Its got pretty good reviews itself but nearly double the cost unfortunately.
Eh, just a little more expensive than other 256GB drives. I'll probably just stick with a 128GB drive because I have enough SD cards and flash drives to store anything that won't fit.
Ordered this. Has a 3 year warranty and much faster write speeds than other 42mm SSDs at it's price point.
