Storage Crucial M500 :D

successor to the M4

no specs as yet but awesome


placing bets it`ll use the 88SS9187 controller

 

960GB SSD for under £450 is what i'm seeing around on a number of websites, I believe also a Q1 launch of said drives, which will be available in both standard SSD and MSATA formats.

Finally! I can store all my "work folders" on a single SSD.

 

And a source to back up what i said: Trusted Reviews

All "work" and no play makes Tangster a dull boy.

 

All that "work" certainly rubs me up the wrong way.

 

are they as reliable as the corsair make? got a msi ge60 laptop was thinking of adding a ssd on the msata slot

is it better to reinstall windows or migrate the os on the ssd ?

 

woot!

new toys!

 

*turns on OCD*

Why M500 not M5?

 

We don't want to know what work you rub to thanks.

 

You guess is a good as mine. The M4 was originally called the C400 though.

 

micron C400 = crucial M4

 

Ah. I was wondering about the name too. C300 -> M4 -> M500 confused me no end! :?

New Ssd looks excellent though!

 

Hm, hopefully capacity will keep going up and prices dropping. I really want a 512GB drive that isn't going to demolish my wallet.

OCZ are doing a 3.5" SSD as well, up to 2TB. Price is unfortunately sky high

 

This - We currently have 256 GB SSDs at around the £100 mark - I'm waiting for the 512GB drives to hit this point.

 

Exactly - my Steam drive is a 256GB M4, but it isn't quite big enough, so I have to put things like Origin on my 128GB boot. Ideally I want to swap out to a 256GB as the boot drive, and a 512GB for Steam, Origin etc.

Another year or so I reckon.

 

prices are creeping back up - currently for a `good` 256 its above £150
