Dual boot problems - Dell XPS 9530

So, I bought a Dell XPS 9530 about a year ago.
It came with a 1 TB HDD and windows 8 on it. To get some more speed I bought a Crucial MX100 512 GB ssd.

I can install both win8 and Fedora 22 on the ssd and both seem to work well but after 2-3 days it starts failing. One of them fails first and shortly after the other one fails and I'm not able to boot fedora or windows after that.

Anyone had the same problem? Do i need to do some tuning for the ssd in linux?

You should buy SSDs from Corsair or Samsung.

Ok I'll try that.
Is the Samsung 850 EVO series any good? Looking at the 250 GB.

Both SSDs ,which I have recommend (Samsung 850 Pro or Corsair Neutron), have a write data ammount of 2 Petabyte.

Got the ssd on tuesday, and everything looks great at the moment
It usually starts failing after 2-3 days, but hopefully everything works as it should now
