praying for firmware fix inc

i think crucial already took steps to fix this matter.. unlike some company which chose to wait with no response for quite a while

haha got panic...woke up today and saw there will be new firmware coming in a few weeks....

i must say goodjob and what a relief...

mind sharing the companies you mean?

by the way, can someone provide/compile/manage the first post? its has nothing there

i think we all know what company(s)... lol... the 1st post need to ask jinaun to edit..

I dunno lol...

yes...to compile and edit with links and information... Like the mechanical keyboard thread...

umm how do i do that?

+1.
Need a volunteer to open V2 thread.

The F4 BSOD ive never seen before on my M4.
But my PC keeps freezing frequently recently, i pressed reset button immediately so cant really see the BSOD. just hung there.

now crucial M4 oso got bug =.=
thinking of selling mine and try samsung 830

Don't think you have to.
Are you encountering the bug yet?

Besides, Crucial is already working on the fix so no big issue here.

what bug?
I'm using crucial M4 128gb haven't encounter anything yet..

hi guys may i know whether corsair force 3 is a good buy ? or GT ?

any other ones to recommend ? is 120gb enough ?

No issue at all with force 3 gt,but kinda expensive.
Also consider ocz vertex 3 or crucial m4. 120gb is just enough to install os and lot of programs on it.

why do u need to spend more for just a lil bit of difference (both can do 500mb/s)???better spend it on capacity...or reliability. but if u have the money and already made up your mind, then there is no need to ask which is a good buy

Hi, I'm thinking of getting an intel 320 40gb as my first ssd since its one of the cheapest (viewnet still have them listed) & reliable but I'm not sure whether its a good buy or not since its small capacity & some say its slower than others. How slow is it? I'm planning of using it for boot drive only and I want something faster than normal HDD.

I'm not sure whether u can have enough space or not, for me I just install some regular software like office, some movie streaming software and other small small software, no adobe photoshop etc etc big software, already used 32GB..

See the technical specs of Intel SSD 320 Series.
Smaller capacity means lesser NAND Flash which obviously reduce the speed.
The sweet spot would me 80GB-160GB.
Fortunately, it's going to be faster than HDD a lot even though it's the lowest end 320 Series SSD.

Regular HDD only has less than 100 IOPS while high performance HDD might have more than 100 IOPS.
SSDs are talking about thousands of IOPS. It might not be fast in sequential read/writes but it'll definitely boot up your machine significantly faster than regular hard drives.

However, 40GB for boot drive is sufficient if you don't use it for anything else but OS only.

Looks like an ultra-slim (7mm) Crucial M4 will be releasing pretty soon.

good news for laptop users.. those laptop with slim slot now can opt for M4

head over to crucial ssdforum,
some user encounter bsod
it happen when "on time " is more than 5000hour
they claim that wil release new firmware in jan, 16th
