Not a good choice for OSX due to poor performance consistency. This is a low-endurance drive with a 3 year warranty, or 72 TB of writes, whichever comes first.

You should've bought a Samsung Evo series drive intead.
hmm, the online reviews across different sites seemed pretty consistent in their praise for the MX100 in terms of performance and reliability. There is another Crucial SSD series that did not get great reviews, but it was a little more expensive.
