OCZ Vertex 4 vs Crucial M4?

Question

Iron

The fact that the M4 is stronger than the Vertex 3 has already convinced me. But with the release of the Vertex 4, I'm not sure of the choice.
Is there somewhere a comparison of these two SSDs with graphs and other things.
Interested in what is better for a home PC (128 GB).
Thank you.

Answer 1

I chose exactly the same format a couple of weeks ago. I re-read everything I found and almost stopped buying (I found negative reviews for ALL models). Next come the noob thoughts about what they read:
The situation is this - the ssd on the second sandforce is faster on compressible data (almost always at home), on marvels it is faster on incompressible data. The difference between the speeds is negligible for home use. The OCZ on the Indylinks controller is a little slower than everyone else, capacious and does not have known bugs (but probably has its own, new ones). Sasungs on their own controller say they are not bad, but it's embarrassing that only one company makes them.
Sandforce used to crash into BSOD, over time, almost all or all of this was fixed with new firmware. Marvels used to freeze (lags for 10-15 seconds at work), then they fixed it. Intel 320 seems to be dying, but then it was fixed.
Then there is a moment with memory - it can be synchronous, asynchronous and switchable (I can confuse), switchable better than others. Memory is made according to various technical processes, the latest generations at 32-34nm, or newer ones at 25nm. Contrary to logic, 32-34nm is better for us. there is a little more reliability. 25nm is simply cheaper to produce.
In short, I first chose the controller - the last Marvel, and then based on it ssd. There are the popular C4 crushers, the new Intels, the slightly less popular Plextor (M2S it seems) but it is the fastest of the Marvels, and the relatively new Corsair Performance Pro 3, the last one I bought, hoping that due to the delay in release, most of the bugs were cleaned out there .
Waiting for the M5 is also an option, it will be in the summer. But it will be with a new controller and it is still unknown what bugs.
You also need to pay attention to the adapter for the 3.5 "port, for the Corsair it is short and cannot be fixed in a case with a sled for hard drives. I left it hanging on the wires (one side at the bottom of the case), the SDD is very light - about 80 grams, less than a phone .

A little IMHO. Surrendered to you these charts and so on. In real life, you will not feel the difference at all on this class of devices. On both devices, the system and programs will just fly. Three months ago I chose an SSD for my Macbook. Fluctuated between Intel (reliability) and Crucial (good reviews and optimal price / performance ratio). I settled on the M4, which I have never regretted.
Another advantage of the M4 is the excellent implementation of the Trim command.

Answer 3

In the "stable" of intel 25m, intel 320, crucial m4 and vertex2... Despite the huge difference in tests and generations, the difference is not noticeable in everyday tasks. Some difference appears only when you need to download 50 gigs from one to another or 50 thousand files from one to another ...
Moral: if you have everyday tasks and domestic needs, there is no point in rushing between vertex4 and crucial m4, take the one that turns out to be closer store and / or cheaper :)

This is what you are looking for, as I understand it.

Answer 5

In general, Plextor M3 turned out to be faster than Vertex 3 Max IOPS and Crucial M4. I don't know about Vertex 4, because there is no need for new SSDs at the moment. The Plextor M2 is also there and the performance has not grown much from the M3. Kingston different models die very quickly.
