Even if they have, the C300 and m4 are solid performers looking at the XS SSD thread.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Yeah, The C300/M4s are defo up there in terms of reliability. To be fair, all of the stuff I've had from Crucial has been excellent.
I'm wondering if these are really refurbs or just excess old stock they want to get rid of.
mine looks new [128 one] ,just got refurbished written on it by a marker pen and 7 where it says firmware 06.I installed windows 7 on it and could not really be bothered to do tweaks cos i have plenty of space and i cant see my c drive getting over 30 gigs
Hmmm no more till monday, would be very tempted to get 2 x 64 gig and RAID them.

Maybe they are just ones that customers have failed to do firmware updates on?mine looks new [128 one] ,just got refurbished written on it by a marker pen and 7 where it says firmware 06.I installed windows 7 on it and could not really be bothered to do tweaks cos i have plenty of space and i cant see my c drive getting over 30 gigs
Sounds promising, I've ordered a 128GB too.
Mine just arrived. Was white boxed, has marker pen on for the firmware (v7) and a refurbished stamp. Only sign of use externally is a few marks on the SATA connectors. Will test and post smart stats sometime this afternoon after the f1 qualifying...
Did it come with a 3.5 - 2.5 bracket?
smart is good if im reading it right
my boot drive f60
The 128gb c300
I can see the limitations of my flipping motherboard though.... look at these benches:
F60
C300
F60 atto
C300
Dont like how atto is failing to get past 150 read! Im thinking either duff drive or it really is my motherboard holding back again without ahci only NCQ (or so asus says), comparing it to the hexus benches its clear it should do better http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=30998&page=3
edit: no it doesnt come with a bracket, ordered mine thankfully
Without ahci you do lose performance on SSD's AFAIK
but damn that looks good, even more tempted now :/

Sorry photobucket links broken
wouldnt have thought ahci would have reduced performance by over half
Cant wait till i upgrade to BD or i7 lol
No, just the bare drive
Edit:
So the drive itself looks new but it's definitely been plugged in before as the SATA contacts show very light marks:
The SMART stats indicate it's had no use but I wonder if those were simply reset when the firmware was flashed:
It runs rings around my old 32GB Samsung SLC drive (essentially an OCZSSD2-1S32G):
64GB C300:
32GB Samsung MCBQE32G5MPP-0VA:
2TB WD GP for comparison:
(updated with benchmarks for an idle system - was transcoding video earlier - slight increases for both SSDs but no major change)

It looks good, The temptation got the better of me and I ordered a 128GB to replace my Vertex2e 60GB.
At least you won't have the annoying stutter that plagued 0006 - although mines stopped doing it now

Anyone with a 128Gb C300 on a 6gbs Intel sata port want to post some ASSD benches?
There was someone here who used a PCI SATA 3 card and lost speed over just using it with the onboard SATA 2 but, I can't remember who it was and what chipset the SATA3 card used.
