Is that a Crucial M4? I had mine replaced 3 times due to sector corruption as well, and then trashed it. It also had a bug where it would break after ~5200 hours of use.

OTOH, I never had an issue with my Intel or Samsung SSDs, even with heavier use.

I agree with you that reliability is key, and it bugs me that reviews still mostly look at speed and price.

Mostly MX100's of varying sizes. The one that's currently doing sector corruption is a MX300 750GB, and the "Too good to be true" new price on Amazon (in a sale) should've been a warning.

This review durability rating was 0.3 writes a day for 5 years. Hopefully they mean rewrite entire drive every 3 days.
