An excellent drive. Middle of the road performance, but you won't really notice. 

 

Very reliable (Crucial has an excellent reputation) and has a great cost per gig.

Why is it so cheap?

 

 

Is it fast?

 

Is it reliable?

 

How are the speeds?

 

Thank You!

What do you mean cheap? And yes they are reliable and fast

It is 104.99 for a 256GB drive, that is cheap for me

I've seen them for 110,  a sec ago.

120 right now. And i want the best bang for the buck. Paying 15 dollars extra for 6 less GB's and a basically unnoticeable change in speed is something im not willing to pay..

They fluctuate all the time depending on sales, but they usually sit between 130 and 150, although I've seen them go as low as $100.
