    Nice purchase, still deciding on whether to get one or not, will probably hang out a little while longer, they're getting cheaper though no doubt, there was a 256GB M4, for about $290usd ($7 shipping to Australia), which is about $1.14/gb(?) so it's getting close to being $1/GB.

    That's an epic price, i got 2x 128GB M4's for $350 and at the time it was a steal.

    Must've been a SATA2 port.

    But yeah those speeds are perfect. How are you enjoying those boot times ?

    Those speeds suck, by the way MentaL - Have you passed a magnet over it yet? That will align the particles and cause a faster read/write due to negation of negative/positive charged particles.



    ;)


    Yeah, I bet you are super happy you decided to bite the bullet for it! There is more performance gain in a single SSD; than upgrading to a new memory/cpu/gpu all at once.
