Very good price, Good performance, Temperature control features, Good RAID 0 performance
Not as fast as the Samsung EVO

Great value for money, Good performance, Capacitors to stop drive errors with power cut, Temperature monitor
M4 series quicker in some benchmarks
Crucial's M500 series offers a glimpse of what the future might hold with the pricing of large capacity SSDs, and is a sign of how far the market has come in a short space of time.If you'd have said barely a year ago that you'd be able to buy a 480GB SSD...
