As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll want to cr...
Abstract: Anyway, the finer manufacturing process used for the memory chips and firmware optimizations allowed to significantly improve the SSD performance. We received a 256 MB Crucial m4 model...
The Crucial m4 solid-state drive is competitively priced and offers fast performance. The drive supports SATA 6Gbps and works in all SATA-based storage applications
The Crucial m4's performance could be better comparatively, and it doesn't come with a drive-bay converter to work with desktop computers
So far, the Crucial m4 offers the best value among SSDs. Though it's not the fastest, it's by far the most affordable among its peers.
Expensive. Outperformed in most tests by competing SSDs. Slow garbage collection demands TRIM support in OS.
Though the 256GB Crucial m4 offers good performance in most situations, it's surpassed by competing drives from OCZ and Intel that push SSD technology a bit further. Buy it now...
So, have we seen a repeat performance of the RealSSD C300's grand entrance? Not really. Although we found the m4 to be considerably faster in our file transfer tests as Crucial fine-tuned top end sequential performance, that had little impact on our r...

The Crucial M4 has significantly increased the performance gap between it and the previous generation of SSDs. And by pushing write performance for video capture and editing, graphical imaging, etc. the M4 provides an economical option for disk inten...
Micron promised a 17% performance increase in the Crucial m4 over the C300. They delivered on that promise and more, showing 17% gains in sequential read speed and 19% gains in write speed. Real-world benchmarks also showed similar gains, with a 15% b...
Up to 10% faster than Sandforce drives, Supports TRIM, 3 year warranty, Nice looking, rugged metal case
Higher price than C300, No significant performance update over C300
Compared to the older C300, Crucial's m4 SSD is more of a shift in performance priorities than a new design with improved performance all across the board. We see substantially improved performance in scenarios like Large File Copy and Game Patching. O...
Crucial's M4 has significantly increased the performance gap between it and the previous generation of SSDs. And by pushing write performance -- for video capture and editing, graphical imaging, etc. -- the M4 provides an economical option for disk-intens...
