I'm looking at either the crucial m4 or the samsung 470 not sure which to get.

I would get the corsair one but its a steep price.

any recommendations otherwise though, also possibly the best 40gb ssd?

thanks!

m4 or C300

thanks

I've heard great things about the C300.

EDIT: Looking for 40GB's.

EDIT2: Here are some good 40GB drives:

Why do the speeds listed for intel SSD's seem so much lower then say the crucial m4 ones? In the sustained read and write specs.

I'm not really into these, I just have $150 laying around and want a little more juice in my system been looking to buy one for awhile but don't know every specific.

Generally Intel will be a tad more expensive just for the label and slightly better build quality. I didn't check out the M4 though, but I've heard it's a solid drive as well.

I own a c300 and I love it! I've had my drive for a while now and my reads are still at 330 or so, my pc boots up incredibly fast and just feels a lot snappier than it used to. I dont think the extra money would be worth it for the M4 seeing as how you wont be able to tell the difference unless you benchmark your drives.

Edit: Just checked and seems the M4 is cheaper than the C300 currently, possibly a sale? I change my vote for the M4 since it's about 5 or 6 dollars cheaper
