[QUOTE="ycl1688, post: 1456638, member: 194767"] I did have a m4 on my 2009 mbp, it is has been working fine for past 3 weeks, with exactly what you have done to install, with firmware 000f only, as for 'reset the SMC and the PRAM' I did not do anything with it. If it goes bad after working for 2 weeks, seems puzzling. The m4 could not mount on your wife's mb is a sign of bad drive, samsung 830 seems to be good, 256gb price seems to have come down you could get it for under $225 or more, since 840 is coming out soon. Since you can return the ssd drive, give it a shot on samsung, you have nothing to lose, I do have 830 on another mbp, seems to work as good as crucial. M4 seems to have random problems with users, anyways give samsung a shot. since you have done the work on ssd, give it another shot. If it works will keep you from buying new one for few years. Never doubt samsung ssd, some are in retina display MBP 15" if I am not wrong. [/QUOTE]
