This review is for the 960GB version of the M500. This Crucial M500 960GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm drive represents a great combination of capacity, speed and cost, by far the best combination if you need the 1TB size as I do.

This Crucial m4 512GB 2.5-Inch 9.5mm SATA 6Gb/s was my first SSD purchase. I wanted to wait for the prices to come down enough and I decided it was time to throw it into my build. I couldn't be happier that I did. I was excited to experience Solid State technology firsthand, this product is of an amazing precision. It could not have been any easier to install.

The immediate effects were as follows: boot-up time has been greatly reduced, these drives have zero moving parts and as such do not generate heat, these drives also have a proprietary programming which treats all files compressed or not the same as a result these drives deliver the true speed advertised unlike most other products that do not delivery in this department.

Reviews Samsung Electronics Samsung 840 Series SSD 500 GB SATAIII 2.5-Inch MZ-7TD500BW

I will say this about this Samsung Electronics Samsung 840 Series SSD 500 GB SATAIII. It is definatly the most affordable and you won't have any problems with compatibility but again it definatly is not the best. OWC is king. Another awesome thing about this Samsung Drive is the software it comes with. Excellent product. Top notch quality. Very reliable.

It comes with Samsung's Magician Software where you can do benchmark tests for this drives and other drive, firmware updates among many other things, etc. This Samsung Electronics Samsung 840 Series SSD 500 GB SATAIII drive is a good buy and a good product but if you are going to make the investment go with OWC.
