Crucial M4 and Vertex 3 tend to be faster than Corsair Force 3 in my real world benchmarks.
Corsair Force 3 is comparable to OCZ Agility 3.
Be aware of the Sandforce throttle, that happens when you write larger amounts of incompressible data. -
I have a Crucial M4 128gb, and honestly I've had more than a few issues with it.
When booting up, I have to go into either BIOS or the Boot priority screen first, otherwise I'll get a Windows error stating that the boot up files cannot be found. Booting up actually takes the same amount of time as a conventional HDD now because of this extra step
Before the current issues, I had this same behavior before I started getting BSODs everytime the Windows logo came up. Same drivers and all as my HDD. For now I just went back to the stock HDD until M4 gets a firmware update. -
Are you in AHCI mode?
Did you apply the LPM tweak?
If both answers are yes I'd try a secure erase + clean install.
I haven't heard any compatibility problems yet with the M4. (except for the MBP which has several SSDs that don't work well) -
-
i dont even know if I will be getting an SSD after hearing all these stories, everyone has problems, its too risky to pay that much money for something that may or may not work

I am thinking just go with the m4 128gb?? Obviously the corsair isnt a good option at this point based on reviews

right now corsair is doing a recall on the 120gb F3

All the M4 needs is one double click on a .reg file. That's it.
If you don't want to do that and you want a drive that just works: Intel 320 or Samsung 470.
Their speed is compared here: Intel SSD 320 (300GB) Review
When we counted Newegg failures Samsung 470 had the lowest failure rate of any SSD. -
Corsair Force 3 120GB or Crucial M4 128GB?
