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 editors didn't like
The Crucial m4's performance could be better comparatively
And it doesn't come with a drive-bay converter to work with desktop computers
Crucial has already started shipping the new mSATA version of the m4. This miniature m4 is already following in the footsteps of the 2.5" model when it comes to pricing as well. Since this drive matches the performance of the SandForce mSATA drives i...

Abstract: The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a winner. ...

Tiny form factor, big on performance. Crucial's track record on SSD products is excellent. Can be installed directly on mSATA motherboards. Miniature tech that works this well is simply amazing.
If you don't require the small footprint, there are other equally attractive SSD options on the market.
Despite having only four NAND flash memory chips on a tiny 1.8" PCB, the mSATA m4 managed to keep pace with larger 2.5" drives, including Crucial's original m4 and most of the 2.5" SandForce SF-2281 SSDs. In fact, in both of our real-world application tes...
If purchasing an SSD for your desktop or laptop is not an option the Crucial Adrenaline M4 Cache drive may just fit the bill. Offloading up to 50 GB of your most used data to the SSD for 500+ MBps read speeds seriously boosts the loading time for both y...
Abstract: Even among solid state drives, there is a wide range of performance despite the large improvement over traditional hard disk drives. A couple weeks ago, I reviewed the OCZ Solid 3 ($167.49) and it turned out to not be the fastest, nor the most stable...

Abstract: When we published our first SSD report in September 2008, an Intel X25-M 80 GB cost around €500. Since then prices have certainly come down and Intel now markets its Intel SSD 320 Series 300 GB at the same price! An entry level 128 GB SSD such as thos...

Abstract: Install was a breeze; un-box it, remove the old HD and replace it. The bios of my laptop immediately recognized it.With full restore media in hand, an external CD/DVD was attached and the install process was started. The first install was a full restore a...
Abstract: Breaking the 250MB/s barrier with no moving parts If the automotive world progressed as fast as the computer industry, the old joke goes, we‘d all have $1,000 cars that get 400 miles to the gallon, never need maintenance, and crash catastrophic-ally...
