WARNING...!!!
Beware of a condition where an incorrect response to a SMART counter will cause the m4 drive to become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point. The condition will allow the end user to successfully update firmware, and poses no risk to user or system data stored on the drive.
After first BSOD and restart every Hour on the Hour this issue hit my system.
Just a good excuse to upgrade to a new Samsung SSD, i'm going to flash the Crucial M4, and use it as a boot/OS drive on an older system..
Yay, I get a new SSD.. Anyone with an older Crucial M4 128gb SSD, this issue could hit you after "5184 hours of Power-on time".
Hope this helps anyone that thinks their SSD just died.
