QUOTE(blacktubi @ Sep 30 2012, 06:11 PM) Thanks a lot Just choose M4 , very reliable M4 vs 830 which is a better choice  As refer to benchmark 830 seem slightly better than M4 and some mentioned Samsung SSD is reliable |

Hi guys , a shocking event happened to me last night . My Crucial M4 dead/kaput last night . BIOS didn't detect it at all , already try it in another PC , same result . Used it for 6 months , didn't expect this to happen
 I hope this is a isolated case . Now waiting for Cyntrix to reply to my problem ╮(╯_╰")╭ |

Significantly reduces the incidence of long reboot times after an unexpected power loss. Corrected minor status reporting error during SMART Drive Self Test execution (does not affect SMART attribute data). Streamlined firmware update command for smoother operation in Windows 8. Improved wear leveling algorithms to improve data throughput when foreground wear leveling is required.  |
