    Micron C400 - 256GB SSD

    Thinking about buying one of these used but can't find any info on the SSDs warranty.
    Left a message at Micron a few days ago and they haven't yet returned my call.
    Anyone know anything about the C400s warranty?
    Thanks!

    After reading around it seems that the c400 is sold as an OEM drive without warranty, support is to be provided by the PC OEM. However, Crucial is Micron's retail brand,and retail version of the c400 is Crucial M4, they are in essence the same drives, but Crucial comes with a 3 year warranty and support.

    Thanks.
    I guess that explains why I could have bought a used 256Gb C400 for under $200.... no warranty and no recourse if it is garbage.

    Guess I'll wait till the Crucial M4s come down at least to $1 a GB.
