"everyone loves?"

I havent seen many people loving them actually

But I like crucial, my M4 has survived for almost 5 years without any sign of death

From Crucial, the M550 are the best SATA consumer SSDs.

They are one of the cheapest drives and are faster than most budget ssds. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

For the price, they're one of the most competitive and you get some great data protection features (RAIN, some forms of power-loss protection, and hardware encryption). They also have good performance consistency (though not as good as Intel's 730 series or Samsung's 850 Pro).

 

Unless you know you need something different (like Intel's end-to-end data protection), the MX100 is definitely worth a long look.

How so?

 

Intel's end-to-end protection uses error correcting code (checksumming) when data is written to and read from the drive. Crucial does not have that.
