I bought one last night and it has the latest Crucial MU02 firmware and is recognized by the Crucial Storage Executive.
I don't mind 2.5" drives for my main desktop but I also use a NUC which of course is so tiny it needs an m.2 drive. I currently run Windows off a WD USB 3.0 drive. But as time goes by, this thing is wearing on me because everything loads so slow that I may just eventually suck it up and buy the cheapest MLC 240GB drive I can find.This!
