    hi all,


    at the moment i have a 120gb c300 crucial for a year now.
    had some problems with it but it works good atm.

    but now i can sell it to somebody and that money +30 euro i can buy the patriot pyro SE 120gb from a 1 day offer website. 130euro in total.

    or a crucial m4 120gb for 146 euro

    its for a laptop.
    i prefer fast boot opening programs.
    doing IT so the most programs i use are:
    VMware
    cisco packet tracer
    SQL 2008
    and ofcourse games.


    AS SSD total score:
    c300: 435
    pyro: 501
    m4 : idk

    my laptop got sata 3 connection which c300 and pyro both support.

    c300:
    355mb/sec read
    140mb/sec write
    50.000 iops

    pyro:
    550mb/sec read
    520mb/sec write
    85.000 iops

    m4:
    415 MB/s read
    175 MB/s write
    40.000 iops

    because its a sandfoce controller im not sure i want the pyro.
    idk if sandforce is good or not so thats why i ask you people.


    best regards
    Nigel

    m4 you get now comes with 0009 or 0309 firmware and it's statistics are
    ~500 MB/s read
    ~200 MB/s write

    I got asssd total score for m4 591 on intel sata2 controller.

    If you are worried about reliability you can skip SF, but if it's not really important you can go with it. It will have greater performance than others in some situations, and in others it will be on on par with them.
