I bought one Crucial M4 64GB ssd back on late last year for my Asus G53SX laptop. It did work for a few months and have problem after that. It take for ever to boot and when I try to open a program it's drive light come on solid and windows report the program not responding. If I wait for a few minutes it will come back and work for a little while and it happen again. it happen when swith program and scroll down the pages too.

I try to use as a data drive(none bootable) it works fine without any problem.
I now took it to install on an old Toshiba p105 laptop which is about 7 year old and it seems have no problem for now. I have read on the web say this drive have issue with that particular model Asus laptop.

So I order other SSD the Chronos sata III 60gb, I am in the USA now and don't have access to the Asus g53sx laptop, but I have other two laptop I have acees to, the DELL inspiron 1420 and Asus UL80J.

I try this Chronos SSD with these two laptops and it have the same problem like I have with the Crucial M4 in Asus g53sx. Any one have changed their regular hard drive to SSD and have not problem in a laptop?

I wonder if the sata III drive have compartable issue with their older Sata II controller?

Any one know which SSD will work with Asus g53sx laptop? I haven't try the Chronos in there yet but I don't have too much hope. and the difficulty to put the drive in that laptop is very discouraging.

Sorry for the long post.
 
I have read this also several times. It seems older hardware can have problems with solid state drives. Then there are also some models of solid state drives that just have bugs.
 
I got an intel 520 120gb for this laptop. I have try it on the Asus UL80JT-A2 and it work.I haven't have time toopen up the Asus 53sx yet as it is pain in the butt to get access to the hard drive.
 
If SSD drive does not work properly in that laptop then why don't you simply use HDD?

I know SSD is faster a lot in transfer speeds and better in other things,but a good HDD such as Seagate is also not bad at all.Unless if you REALLY need SSD drive if you are doing God knows what lol...
 
man that sucks, I would be pissed... Ive installed a few m4's .. Did you contact Crucial? I am interested to see what the issue is
 
Paul, I've had the same sort of issues with my M4. It takes a while to Windows to boot on mine because my hard drive is somehow slowing it down (if I unplug the SSD magically my boot times are much faster). I think Windows is trying to verify my HDD as I boot into Windows, slowing down the boot time.

Not really had the issue with programs crashing though. I mean, sometimes programs crash every now and then, but not all the time for me.
