Hungry for more? The new m4 SSD built on the success of the award-winning, wildly popular Crucial RealSSD C300 solid-state drive offers mobile and desktop users scorching-fast read and write speeds, groundbreaking SATA SSD computing, and unparalleled performance for the dollar.

The Crucial m4 incorporates Micron's industry-leading 25nm NAND flash technology in a 2.5" form factor. It also supports the SATA 6Gb/s interface, opening up the data path between the host processor and the SSD, and resulting in improved overall system responsiveness, including faster boot times and application loads. The Crucial m4 SSD reaches read speeds of up to 415 MB/s, a 17% increase over its predecessor. Ideal for client computing, Crucial m4 SSD provides benefits for notebooks, desktops, workstations, and industrial applications, including low power consumption, lightweight construction, and resistance to shock and vibration.

 

Gr8 Deal Cin' gotta go for it, may just use it for fast external storage
Unreal25, I recently had a mechanical hard drive fail on me an lost quite a few photos. Now I use Dropbox free version,
I was 1/2 kidding, Once I upgrade to a real gaming machine (SAGER) I will be installing the SSD in it.

 

Using 2.5" SSD for "external storage"... now I've heard everything.

You are aware that for that money you can get few TB in mechanical drivers right...

 

I'm tempted but since I already have a 256GB tempted to just get another 256GB and RAID

 

Very nice price for tons of SSD storage.

I hope that somebody may post something similar when available for Europeans users like me.

Thank you.

 

you are aware for the same money backing up stuff on a ssd is... let's just say quick. not to mention the other drawbacks of hdd's.

 

This is so tempting because Samsung refuses to play ball with these guys. Decisions, decisions...

No... really? It's very fast with hard drives too, especially when it comes to transferring large files. The whole point of SSDs is their fast access time -- a feature that would be unused if they're used for storage. On top of that, (decent) mechanical hard drives are more secure in that even if you get bad sectors, you don't loose all of your data. With an SSD, you are pretty much screwed in terms of data recovery. The other "drawback" is that for that money you can get to about 10x more ~5TB of storage (or less if one prefers to make it more secure in RAID).

 

Any good price for Canadian , I really want it , $344.99 is so cheap.

 

Oh man, I can get a new computer for this money ~~

Crucial is flexing their muscle though, the outcome of this price war gonna be interesting.

 

For Canadian =)

Already bought the same drive for $350 on eBay. Just as well, though, since Newegg charges tax in CA, so this deal isn't as good for me

Of course, the package was sent signature required, and I was at work when they tried to deliver it on Friday, so now I can't actually have it until tomorrow *sadface*

 

$350.19 on Amazon. Might be a better deal for some, especially Prime members and the fact that you can return the drive for a refund there if you have a problem. Newegg has an exchange-only policy on SSDs.

Personally, I couldn't resist. I've been loathe to do an optibay solution on my MBP so this will be perfect.

Be careful with these drives, lot's of DOA's. Very alarming, especially after a big success with the 256GB version. I'd do more research before jumping on it. But the deal is indeed very tempting.

 

Source?

Tempting indeed.

 

Mine is on delivery , can't wait to receive it I also brought SquareTrade 3-Year Electronics Warranty incase any happens.

 

So thats like 6 year warranty?

 

Same 3years , just don't need to pay for shipping etc , in case any back and forth returning drives. I'm tired to deal with Crucial warranty itself , those shipping cost able to get me new SSD.

 

Read the feedback thread (newegg)

 

I saw that too, but compared to those from Amazon and the total number of drives sold, a handful of complaints isn't bothering me considering Crucial's track record and customer service.

 

True, I'd probably grab one as well, just need to allocate some cash

 

This is anecdotal so take it as you wish but I've employed at least a dozen SSDs in various desktop and laptop systems for myself and others, dating back to the original OCZ Vertex. The M4 has, by far, been the most reliable of the lot. Actually, the only failures I've seen have been with Sandforce drives. I have the utmost confidence in Crucial.

Buy the SSD or a whole new computer: http://forum.notebookreview.com/not...d-7670m-15-6-display-windows-7-hp-64-bit.html

 

Both!! Buy a whole new computer and add the SSD

(My M4 512 is arriving this Wednesday )

 

Rather wait til Samsung comes down.
