Mushkin Callisto deluxe

Reasonably fast sequential access, cool design

Poor small file access Multiple errors throughout the years. Controller board failure after 4. Newer 1 TBs have thrown multiple controller access errors (temp hard hangs).

Nice fast boot-ups.

Was used in mother's PC. Not recognized by the bios. Even tried it in my rig, not recognized. Dead SSD.

Worked great for the first 3 years....

After 3 years and 1 month: . Started to notice random dataloss one day and an hour later it died completely.

Fast, while it worked.

Suddenly died for no apparent reason, just after 6 months. No hiccups or odd behavior, no blue screens or taking a long time to read a file. Worked fine yesterday, dead today. Investigation reveals the BIOS can tell something is present and tries for...

Speed is fantastic, especially when used only to boot Windows.

Very unreliable. In the time that I had it, a little under 2 years, it failed twice. The first time it failed I was running Windows 7. I got the drive working again after a reformat, and figured it had just been a hiccup. I reinstalled Windows and it...

Reasonably fast, decent price at the time it was purchased.

*****Buyer beware! Very poor quality SSD! Do not buy!***** An expensive product containing no moving parts that is maintained in a well ventilated PC tower and is not heavily used or abused should just work and not fail. Several weeks after the 3-year...

Looks great

Dead after 3 weeks of use

Good while it worked.

Died in 8 months without any warning. This drive really didn't even see too much use until the last month or 2, machine was off most of the time. Went to boot up one day after the machine had been off for a few days and the drive didn't show in bios....

Worked fine for about 6 months

I bought this SSD for my wife's computer and my Computer Tech son installed it. It worked fine for almost 6 months and then just quit. I contacted Newegg and they directed me to the manufacturer. I contacted the manufacturer by phone only to be told I...
