It was a hard toss-up between the Samsung 830 and the Crucial M4 but I had to give this one to Crucial. They have an amazing track record when it comes to quality products and that really shows with all the love the M4 has gotten since it's release. They maintain high quality while still keeping prices low compared to other manufacturers but still provide great customer service with an almost non-existent failure rate when it comes to their SSDs.
