thats a good price, in the uk its £46/$72.4 more expensive

 

[whs]

Yeah, in Europe the prices are always higher - same in Germany. In part it is because of the VAT. When you order from Newegg, you pay no sales tax (except when you live in California or Tennessee).

That M4 is a really good deal. Too bad I just bought an OCZ Vector.

Waiting to see your benchmarks too.

Yeah, me too. It is still sitting on my desk. I dread to crawl under the desk and play with all the wires. There is not a single port on my box that does not have a wire.

Jerry, that's a really good deal. I paid $119 for a 60GB M4 about 1 year ago.

i noticed they were having a sale today,
its £133 until tuesday (m4 256gb) in the UK

 

[Dave76]

There are a lot of M4s on sale lately, wonder if the M5s are on the way.

That would be a good assumption. OCZ and Samsung have new versions so Crucial needs to keep up.

The M4s work very well. No need to wait for M5s. You would probably not notice the difference with the OS.

I have OCZs of 3 different generations (the oldest is from 2008) on 3 different systems and I hardly notice a difference.

 

[indianacarnie]

My M4 is working beautifully. I see another in my future.

Micron has built the world's smallest 3-bits per cell NAND chip, targeting USB stick memory and the like, while Facebook's open source hardware guru has indicated such chips could be used in its cloud's data centres providing ultra-cheap flash storage.

Micron has just built a 128Gbit TLC chip using a 20nm process which is just 146mm2 in area. That's 12.083mm a side, slightly bigger than a small fingernail. It means TLC flash applications can cram more capacity in the same physical size as before.

Hard Man of Facebook: We might just eat those cheap TLC flash chips ? The Register

Samsung new 840 SSD uses TLC NAND, (840Pro is MLC) so look for this in the lower price SSD coming to market.

M500 coming soon...

Crucial.com/uk - Crucial M500 SSD coming soon!

 

[whs]

500MB would be nice for laptops and for better reliability (better than spinners)

 

[Britton30]

The M500 has nearly the same read/write specs as the M4, hardly enough to induce a lot of sales.
