I just ordered two custom built laptops from Toshiba. They ship on Friday. So I was about to place my order for this new drive. I decided to check out the forums and see how they're doing.
Wow.... just wow... These new drives seem to be causing a lot of people a lot of grief with this booting thing. I have always been a very happy ***Edit to remove Crucial competitor*** customer, and in fact I still plan on putting their 240 GB ssd in the wife’s new laptop. But I was gonna give this new larger 512GB drive a trial spin in mine. (OK, the spin comment was a lame attempt at a joke)
So, my question is this. Would you still buy this new M4 512GB drive knowing about this issue, hoping the good people at "Crucial" get this problem sorted out in a timely manner?
My new Portege R830-ST8300 is only gonna have room for this one drive. I plan to travel abroad for a month with this and wanted the added capacity for my pictures. I don't want to lug around an external drive if I don't have to. Traveling light for a month is going to be creative enough on its own.
So, would you do it? Should I do it?
