    Hey guys, its the first time ill be buying an ssd for my new sony vaio sa, and i have a few questions..
    Which is better-the crucial m4 or vertex 3
    right now im leaning towards the m4 cause its cheaper buy 40$ and has better bench mark scores
    and i also was wondering if i can change the hdd with the ssd without any problems...
    Thanks,
    Junkie

    In a few days NBR will publish the Vertex 3 review comparing it against Crucial M4. I won't say too much about it but I will say they're very close in performance.

    The bigger difference is endurance and reliability. Crucial wins in that regard in my opinion.

    In short, ABS.

    Cheaper and better. No brainer. SSD is like any HDD in regards to installation, don't worry.
