Crucial m4 256GB review

If you want to give your notebook or desktop PC a major speed boost, Crucial's m4 256GB solid state drive is a must-have. It's one of the fastest drive's on the market and it'll not only speed up boot-up times if used as a system drive, it'll make your...

Overall, it's not hard to love this drive, even if it is quite a hefty investment. Its 238GB formatted capacity gives it a cost per gigabyte between £1.10 and £1.80 depending on where you buy it. If you've got a high end laptop or desktop and speed is...

Review: Crucial Radeon 7500

Crucial release a video card for the rest of us

Great image quality, price

Not very fast

At a mere £40.99 that includes UK shipping, this is a great card. It's not the fastest thing around, far from it. What your money buys you though is top-notch video quality and a card which offers a good step up for ordinary folks without breaking the...

Fast read rates ; Fast write rates ; No moving parts

Expensive

Crucial's m4 256GB solid state drive is a little gem. It can supply very fast read and write transfer rates, and it will noticeably boost the performance of a laptop or desktop PC when it's used as a system drive. Sure, it's quite expensive, but like...

Crucial SSD 32GB

There's probably no better upgrade you can give your notebook than a solid-state hard drive. It will help your notebook run much cooler, with no noise...

No moving parts, runs cool and quiet

Expensive, small capacity, slow write speed

It's too early for solid-state drives such as Crucial's SSD 32GB to become mainstream, but once prices come down, evey laptop owner should look to upgrade to one. They are silent, run very cool and have no moving parts, which means that they won't be...

Crucial m4 (256GB)

Though the 256GB Crucial m4 offers good performance in most situations, it's surpassed by competing drives from OCZ and Intel that push SSD technology a bit further.

Good performance. Supports 6Gbps SATA III.

Expensive. Outperformed in most tests by competing SSDs. Slow garbage collection demands TRIM support in OS.

Crucial m4 256GB

SSD with high capacity and fast speeds at a competitive price.

As we've said before and we'll continue to hammer any chance we can get, the single biggest bottleneck in modern systems is the traditional plattered hard drive, and using an SSD in your system will make such a massive difference that you'll...

Crucial Ballistx 1600 Tracers - Bjorn3D.com

When AMD released the HD5850 and the HD5870 end of September 2009 they had a clear plan on how they would bring DX11 to every possible price point. The HD5700 came out in October followed in November by the HD5970. These cards all fitted into various...

Crucial 128GB SSD

Crucial, a well established brand in the memory market has recently released a low-budget fast Solid-state Drive, the CT128M225. The drive uses a Indilinx Barefoot controller and a 64MB cache by Elpida Memory; a reliable configuration that we have...

We found the Crucial CT128M225 series blazing fast and highly responsive in all the tasks. The price may be somewhat higher than OCZ's solutions, but don't forget that Crucial is offering two extra years of warranty, which is very important....

Crucial 32GB Solid State Drive

Hard drives are constantly getting larger and cheaper as the technology improves, but their speed increases only marginally each year because they are limited by their inherent mechanical nature. No matter how efficient an algorithm or the overall...
