It is really hard to find any problems with Marvell 88SS9174 controller, which is used in the solid state drives reviewed today. Its characteristics and internal architecture allow designing SSDs with up-to-date performance, and such SSD makers as Cor...
There are more SSD disks on the market; for example: OCZ, Corsair, and a few others. Both Kingston and Crucial are big sellers though and perform very well in most tests. The Patriot drive in this test was older but managed to keep up very well with w...
Honestly, I came into this review expecting a lot. There are so many factors in play that puts Crucial into such an excellent position when it comes to making great SSDs. For one, Micron/Crucial owns their own fab. These days, that's a pretty coveted posi...
Abstract: Let's be honest. In the PC world, size matters. This is true not only for the height of ATX towers, but also for the thickness of ultrabooks. The size of one's SSD is important, too. In addition to defining how many applications, games, and data can enjoy...
Read speeds just under 900MB/s in RAID0, Random 4K read speeds topping 90,000 IOPS, Very strong incompressible write speeds
Weak-mixed workload performance still carries over from the 0009 firmware
For enthusiasts looking to squeeze out even more performance from reliable SSD like the Marvell-powered Crucial m4, going to RAID0 can make sense where you need substantially higher read and write speeds...
The great thing about revisiting the Crucial m4 is that we now have a great deal of experience with these drives. When I first looked at the m4 back in May of 2011 some 9 months ago a lot was unknown about the product, most importantly reliability. It ...
It's great to finally be able to include the Crucial M4 series into our benchmark results suite as Crucial did not make the SSD available for a lot of the EU press for a long time. The end results are as expected, this Marvell 88SS9174 based solution is d...
SATA 6Gbps, $40 cheaper than similarly performance SSDs, Good price to performance ratio, 3 year warranty
Not as fast as SandForce drives
The performance of the m4 is rather interesting. The drive's random write speed is able to compete against SandForce drives but its random read speed falls behind the competitor. Its sequential read is faster and competitive yet the sequential write i...
The Crucial m4 is an interesting SSD. It is the highest performing drive we have tested that doesn't rely on real-time file compression to achieve high levels of performance. Or to put it another way, there's only two other SSDs that can deliver actua...

While the M4 doesn't compete with the OCZ Vertex 3 in terms of write speed, its read performance is on par. Given the reliability issues that some drives built around Sandforce controllers are experiencing, the M4 looks like a more robust alternative th...
