Crucial or OCZ SSD?

As per title really. Birthday on tuesday and want an SSD. Which one is better? OCZ Agility 60GB or Crucial M4 64GB? Could do research online but would rather ask my fellow Overclockers for your POV

Are you sure it's the Agility (not Agility 3 or whatever)?
Either way I think everyone will say M4 if not for speed but reliability.

I have an Agility and an Agility 3 and have no problems with either.(Agility 3 is almost twice as fast as the Agility, not that you can really tell in my usage)

However, will probably buy an M4 soon or the OCZ Vertex 4 as it has a new controller.

Its the Agility 3 60GB

What about the Samsung 830 Series (64Gb)?

It's bulletproof. It's still one of the quickest as well. But i take reliability over a tiny bit more speed that i wouldn't notice anyway 100% of the time.

This is what I've heard and read and is the main reason I decided on the M4

Just got the M4 tho wasn't too impressed with the state of the box. Hopefully the drive isn't damaged internally.

Yeah, drive's ok, thank god. The DPD guy was really nice but the back of his van looked like it had been hit with a bomb! :eek:

Just did some speed tests. No where near the speeds of the M4 128GB. Is this right?

Thanks for the info buddy. Was a little bit worried but as always, there's some old tech in my PC letting the side down
