I recently installed a Crucial M4 256gb SSD on my early 2011 13" MBP and noticed that after running Disk Speed Test for like 5 minutes I get a kernel panic necessitating a complete reboot! Could other with a same/similar setup confirm this?
I do not have M4 but I installed Intel 320 series 160GB SSD 2 weeks ago and test with Disk Speed Test..no beach ball at all .Maybe M4 is defective? or Check with latest firmware?
