From my research, it looks as if the corsair one performs better because it uses the sandforce controller. I'm in the same boat tbh.

The M4 is better in "real world" speed, rather than big numbers from the SandForce based cards.

Is that "real world" difference even noticeable though? I boot to my desktop in around 13 seconds, and load eve-online faster than i can even time. And I have the Corsair F3.

M4 is king of read speeds, this is what matters most, benchmarks be damned.
