Crucial m4 256 GB SSD Review

Tuesday May 8, 2012 | Leave a comment

When we first started looking at SSDs, it was last year, when 128GB drives were starting to really drop in price. At that time, we took a look at four completely different mid-range SSD solutions from OCZ, Crucial, Patriot, and Kingston. The two that stood out were the OCZ Agility 3 128GB, and the Crucial m4 128GB. They each earned a “Recommended Mid-Range Hardware” award – one for sheer speed/price ratio, and the other for a more reputable track record in terms of reliability (at the time, SandForce drives were commonly having BSOD issues, but those are gone now).

Today we’ll be looking at the award-winner’s big brother, the Crucial m4 256GB. When it comes to SSD technology, a bump up in size almost always results in a bump up in performance. In addition to that, Crucial have upgraded their firmware at least twice, each adding a bit of a performance boost. So let’s see how the 256GB model does today!
