256gb intel brand for around myr650~ ok o not?

or should go for m4?

256gb 330 series?

anything better than OCZ Vertex 4?

Sifu, I bought Crucial M4 256GB and install it in my Lenovo Y480 but when i use HWmonitor to see my temp, it doesn't show my SSD temp.. Can I know how to fix it??

why you want to know SSD temperature?

Hi guys! just installed my Samsung 830 128gb SSD in my rig!

its fast! even tho my mobo is SATA2 only..hehe

Crucial launches v4 SSD series, Value SSD for systems with SATA II 3Gbps

yup.. price r quite the same.. perhaps slightly cheaper..

Hehe just wondering how much is the temperature ma... And curious why don't have reading in hwmonitor d..

not bad i guess? i believe there's still a lot of ppl out there who is still using old LGA 775 socket mobo with sata 2.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think SSD have temp sensor.

me using sata II

wait for it then?
most ssd face performance bottleneck on sata 2 (tried samsung 830 64gb, crucial m4 64gb @my friend's house)

hi 120gb
pls help decide
corsair force or c4 or intel series 330?

Intel 330 or Crucial M4.

The V4 sounds good on paper, but there's only one problem: the price, at least for now.

You see, Newegg, Amazon, Tiger-Direct... sells the 64GB M4 for $75, and the V4 goes for $70. Now I don't know about you, I think that extra $5 is a lot more justified in getting a Marvell controller than a Phison controller (traditionally, Phison is pretty slow in 4k performance).

Same goes for the 128GB and 256GB prices, they differ in less than $10.
So unless the major retailers gives out weekly cut prices of the V4 of over 20% (which I think will happen sooner rather than later), then I think M4 is a better buy for now at least.

The Phison controller's lacklustre random performance makes it undesirable for me. It will need to be significantly cheaper to even start being acceptable in my opinion.

maybe plextor m3?
hopefully it is valueble for older platform.

True, exactly.
So here's hoping the final street price for the V4 is at least 20% lower than the MSRP, only then I think it is a good valueble option.

My 180GB Intel SSD 520 Series... Was expecting the sequential write to be higher

wow.. nice speed already..
