Intel SSDMCEAW240A401 240GB Module MSATA Review

It was good and stable while it lasted. Failed after less than four months of use. No longer recognized by any computer. I have not experienced this issue with any other Intel SSD I have had. Intel warranty support was very poor and unresponsive. The exchange lasted several weeks. Your normal warranty portal cannot identify these products by serial or part number. Intel is used to dealing with OEMs, not end users or people who build their own systems. Chances are, you'll think twice before…

The Intel Series 530 mSata SSD was a lifesaver for my HP laptop and breathed new life into it with its 240GB capacity. He is very quick in his operations. I recommend without reservation.

This product is relatively expensive but works well. What I particularly like is that the Intel SSD Toolbox is suitable for this product. So if this is created as a raid, pruning is still effective with the app's optimize feature.

UPDATE: August 19, 2016 - Extreme write delays were experienced on this drive after 8TB writes. This uses AHCI, SSD Toolbox, Trim, etc. So up to 3 stars. If you have a choice, choose the 730 240GB 2.5-inch drive instead. I found it a little underwhelming for heavy use. But way better than the Crucial block it replaced.

Automatically configured as a spare on my Raid 5 workstation with Intel RST with three 240GB Intel SSDs. Easy installation.
