Reading this thread has made me change my mind and I think it's safe to say I will be buying the 256gb M4 over any other SSD.

I purchased my 256GB M4 just before Xmas based on the M4 range's reputation for reliability, and so far its been fantastic. Easily the best overall performance upgrade I've made. And Crucial's handling of this issue has just reinforced for me what a great choice it is. I hope you have the same experience.

Just got the 128gb model for £130 and a 3.5 > 2.5mm mount for £3. Cant really complain at £1 a gb (almost)

Now to get everything re-installed

Won't take long. I've heard of 6 minute windows 7 installs on SSD's.

If your OS is well maintained and running nicely then just clone over using Acronis True Image 11/12.

Simple.
