The editors didn't like

  • Weak-mixed workload performance still carries over from the 0009 firmware
  • Falls behind in mixed workloads
  • Slower performance in our HTPC and Productivity traces
  • Lower than Standard M4 SATA random read/write performance
  • Overall
  • I found the Crucial m4 mSATA SSD to be very impressive. You get close to the performance of the full-size m4 but in a significantly smaller package. The sequential read/write performance
  • Expensive. Outperformed in most tests by competing SSDs. Slow garbage collection demands TRIM support in OS.
  • Accessories and software cost extra
  • Pricey compared to several other performance-grade drives
  • Which were faster on some benchmark tests
  • Sequential write speeds could have been faster.
  • The Crucial m4's performance could be better comparatively
  • And it doesn't come with a drive-bay converter to work with desktop computers
  • Not as fast as SandForce drives
  • Higher price than C300
  • No significant performance update over C300
  • Not the fastest.
  • None that I found

  • Abstract:  The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a winner. ...

  • Accessories and software cost extra, Pricey compared to several other performance-grade drives, which were faster on some benchmark tests
  • On our benchmarks, Crucial's M4 drive was appreciably speedy, without ever breaking new ground. If you're looking for well-rounded performance, it's a solid choice, but a bit pricey. ...

  • Too much choice in the SSD segment has made selecting the perfect SSD for a gaming PC or notebook upgrade a rather daunting and at times Excel-spreadsheet-worthy task. It shouldn't have to be like this. As we've seen in PCSTATS' benchmarks today, Crucial'...

  • As is often the case with SSD reviews, what we have here is a mixed bag of results, so now it’s time to sift through them to try and better understand where each SSD stands in terms of performance. Breaking down the file copy tests, if we combine the ...

  • Abstract:  We are usually not very thrilled about reviewing SSDs with 120 or 128 gigabytes storage capacity. This capacity is just not good for showing what a particular SSD design can do. Today’s SSDs use eight-channel controllers and 64-gigabit flash memory chi...

  • The Crucial M4 64GB is arranged with only one NAND chip connected to each of the eight channels provided by its Marvell controller, preventing each channel from reaching its full write potential. The obvious alternative to this strategy is to use only...

  • Abstract:  Nothing gets my cooling fans going like a new hard drive! With that, I have yet to hop on the SSD wagon, until now. I have resisted as long as possible because even though the benchmarks were there, the prices just were not. Crucial thinks they can make m...

  • With many awaiting availability of the new Crucial M4 mSATA SSD this week, timing of this Micron C400 mSATA Review couldn't be better. We might amusingly take a crack at getting the new Crucial M4 sent out for review but Crucial/Micron Reps would probably...
