I bought one Crucial M4 64GB ssd back on late last year for my Asus G53SX laptop. It did work for a few months and have problem after that. It take forever to boot and when I try to open a program it's drive light come on solid and windows report the program not responding. If I wait for a few minutes it will come back and work for a little while and it happen again. it happen when swith program and scroll down the pages too.

I try to use as a data drive(none bootable) it works fine without any problem.
I now took it to install on an old Toshiba p105 laptop which is about 7 year old and it seems have no problem for now. I have read on the web say this drive have issue with that particular model Asus laptop.

So I order other SSD the Chronos sata III 60gb, I am in the USA now and don't have access to the Asus g53sx laptop, but I have other two laptop I have acees to, the DELL inspiron 1420 and Asus UL80J.

I try this Chronos SSD with these two laptops and it have the same problem like I have with the Crucial M4 in Asus g53sx. Any one have changed their regular hard drive to SSD and have not problem in a laptop?

I wonder if the sata III drive have compartable issue with their older Sata II controller?

Any one know which SSD will work with Asus g53sx laptop? I haven't try the Chronos in there yet but I don't have too much hope as it have problem with these laptops. and the difficulty to put the drive in that laptop is very discouraging.

Sorry for the long post.
Thank you in advance.
