I got two crucial SSDs recently.

The first one was DOA and was so broken that the two motherboards I tested refused to power on with it installed.

The second one was a replacement for the first and exhibited the exact same behavior.

I did not get a third. Maybe their HDDs are better, but I'm not planning on finding out.
