Excellent drive for the money, I've had one for a month and a bit and it's excellent. Much better value than the Sandforce drives.

I have a c300 and althoughit is fast it does have issues with suttering in games etc.

Ive had this drives for 2 weeks now, love it! The speed really is that good

Makes my raid 0 128GB M225's look slow. Glad someone's finally seeing if they can get more market by having the performance at a cheaper price, albeit only just....

I think the warranty on these drives puts them above the rest as well

I also ran the c300, the lag during tab browsing, the stutter during gaming on win 7 64bit was widely reported, there was a huge thread on their own forums. Some reports of this drive also with the same issues, did the review test for them?

Ive been running the m4 128Gb for two weeks and havent seen any of these issues. I would think 2 weeks of real world usage is better than any test.

Yep, neither have I seen any stuttering. I would also check for firmware updates.

Isnt the stuttering something to do with powermanagement?.. im sure i read somewhere about needing to change a few reg-settings to cure.

I got a Corsair Force 3 at the weekend, only to find its v v flakey and keeps dropping off sata and not being detected.. Corsair have now issued a recall, but im going to try and get it swapped for a M4 instead.
