Among the previous generation of SSDs the c300 was king (for read speeds at least anyway). Now the successor to this drive the m4 is better than the c300 but the sandforce controller improved dramatically as well between the current generation and the last one. So the thinking was at least I thought, that the vertex 3 vs m4 battle was a no-brainer ... get a vertex 3.
But I have been having a look around at websites and I have noticed that it seems that ocz aren't doing a 60gb version of their drive. Also comparing the prices of the vertex 3 drives to the m4 ones the m4 ones are significantly cheaper in fact the m4 drives are only about a £10 more or so across the range over the c300s.
Looking at scan the pre order price for the 256gb m4 is £360 odd ... loads but then the price for the 240gb vertex 3 is £480!, so you get 16gb less and and it still costs 120 quid more.
Just interested to know what people in the market for a new SSD thought. Are you going to go for one of the new generation of SSDs ... if so which one and if you are going for the previous generation what is your rationale?
