Positioned at the intersection of performance and value, Chronos SSDs provide next-generation SSD responsiveness by utilizing asynchronous NAND Flash technology. Say goodbye to rotational hard drive sluggishness by adding a Chronos SSD to your system today!

Industry-leading Performance Driven by the second generation of SandForce SSD controller (SF-2281), the Chronos Series is designed and built to unleash the full potential of the 6Gbps SATA III interface. The Chronos pushes the limits in both sequential and random data transfer rates, significantly improving your productivity, gaming, multimedia, and overall computing experience.

Kevin V. 4/26/2013 7:56:23 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5So far, so good Pros: Going strong for just over a year now. Reading/Writing are extremely fast which is to be expected from a solid state. I should mention that I use it for my OS and have a seperate hard drive for all other files/games. Boot times are extremely fast with Windows 8. Cons: Wasn't free Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/26/2013 1:55:43 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5sweet jebus, fast drives Pros: got rid of some junk OCZ drives, set FOUR of these bad boys up in a stripe raid. Sweet jebus, they are fast. I would recommend using a 128k stripe size for best performance. Cons: still crazy expensive compared to standard spinning drives. Other Thoughts: its not that OCZ is a bad company, their RMA processes is easy and friendly. I just talked to them too often with my old drives. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 4/23/2013 7:23:41 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5 Pros: good while it worked Cons: died in 5 months. no windows system will even recognize the drive anymore. i highly doubt i will ever buy a mushkin drive again, my OCZ ssd has never given me any problems Other Thoughts: buy at your own risk Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 3/16/2013 8:32:58 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 2/57 Months?? Pros: Very fast during its extremely short life span. Cons: Bought this SSD 09/22/12, and it shot craps on 3/16/13. The funny part is I was just on my PC and had put it into sleep mode, then brought it back up not 20 minutes later to a Blue Screen of Death. After attempting to reboot it several times, I went into BIOS and noticed that it was not even being recognized. How is this even possible considering the only thing this SSD was used for was to house my Windows 7 Ultimate-64 and nothing more? Just started the RMA process with Mushkin. Will update upon RMA completion. Other Thoughts: Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Proc: Intel i5-2500k Sandybridge RAM: 16Gig Mushkin Silverline VID: EVGA 2Gig HD7870 PSU: Thermaltake 850W Bronze OS: Windows 7 Ultimate-64 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

N/A 3/11/2013 5:12:37 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Warranty is good Pros: I am one of the ones that gave this 1 egg because of the failure. Raising it to 3 eggs as Mushkin has a 3 year warranty on the SSD's, and after getting my old one, they have shipped a new one out to me. I'll put another review out there once I have it installed. Cons: At this point, I'll hold off. Let's get the new SSD installed and running and I'll update this review then. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A 3/10/2013 6:56:14 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5DOA Pros: Should be good, sounds good. Cons: P8Z77 Asus did not read the drive, in any way shape or form in the bios. Plugged in a different manufacture, and it worked perfectly. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/9/2013 6:03:39 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 1/52 Million Hrs MTBF - Really? Pros: if they believed the garbage they spew, (2M-Hrs, MTBF) they'd guarantee it for 30+yrs, not a few hours. How dumb can we be??? Cons: As a community, please lets start calling manufacturers on their junk stats - please. If MTBF isn't within 50% of the warranty, what's the purpose of one or the other? i.e. to make a big profit? 1 yr = 62 K Hrs MTBF 3 yr = 185 K Hrs MTBF 5 yr = 307 K Hrs MTBF 10 yr = 614 K Hrs MTBF Other Thoughts: I can hardly believe that "Newegg" sells this junk. Really??? 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/4/2013 10:22:25 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5 Pros: Worked very well while it was alive. Low price (at least when I got it). Cons: Didn't even make it a year before going bad. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
