Sifus,

planning to replace the faulty HDD in my ASUS G53SX with a SSD. i've done some research and have decided on the crucial M4, and saw 2 main sellers in lowyat (beetle and cynrix)

So far I think beetle's prices are lowest (deciding between 128gb or 256gb)

Price: 64gb / 128gb / 256gb / 512gb RM 260/420/750/1820 Crucial


any comments? I'm not sure if my ASUS G53SX can do the AHCI mode thing although i'm 80% sure i've somehow seen the option before...

anything else I need to know before taking the plunge? how can I check if the TRIM feature will work on my lappy (heard its a very important feature)?

will probably keep installed those MP games like steam games (l4d, tf2, dota, etc), d3,

other games will install and delete after finish.

programs will be mostly maintenance like ccleaner...

songs, vids etc will be in 2nd HDD (my laptop can fit 2 HDDs) and ext.

128gb should be good rite? + windows + updates

Guys, this is the benchmark on a brand new Crucial M4 128gb 6gbps. Is this up to the normal expected speed?
