Quick question, both these drives are the same price in the ~250gb area, both have a 3 year warranty, both trade blows on the Anandtech bench, does anyone know anything that'll swing it either way?

Planning a fresh install, so the image software doesn't concern me to greatly, but it may come in handy in the future. I'm leaning toward the Crucial simply as it is newer.

Is updating the firmware a hassle? Never had an SSD before except a WD Black2 dual thingy in my laptop which I've never touched.

Sounds like doing a BIOS update ect.

As there doesn't seem to be a consensus in terms of performance I'm gonna go for the Crucial cause its newer and a teeny bit more spacious.

Cheers guys

Ended up with a very cheap 250gb Samsung 840. It was almost disappointingly small and light and everything
