If I hadn't already got the OCZ 120 for my laptop, I'd jumps een it.
Funck! I just ordered a 128mb M4 this morning, now you have this and got me thinking, I'm just an average user so might not notice any real world difference between sata2 and sata3 ssd's.
Will cancel my order now (competitor) and have a thorough think and read...

Come back to thread.
Samsung 830 series and M4... unrealistic to ask for that, V4 is a good deal considering. Well done guys.
My reply... "thanks mate
"
The 830 goes up September 30th too £150-£160, potentially higher!
2 reasons:-
1. Samsung Cashback Promo Ends 30th September, so NO MORE £20 cashback!
2. NAND pricing is moving upwards!
So its never gonna happen on the 830, we tried our hardest with Samsung and they said nope, pricing is increasing and adviced customers to buy now whilst Cashback promotion is still running!
How much room is there on this drive once its ready to use ?
found out
Total capacity of all memory modules (32GB x 8) is 256GB, however, formatting leaves an end user capacity of 238GB..

Its a very volatile picture.

Well Samsung, Adata have increased pricing. Intel no change!
Only OCZ have moved pricing down marginally, were seeing pricing has settled for now with some making increases and were speaking to manufacturers and factories directly.
We shall see, but for now Crucial with this V4 have the best price in the market and it might not be the fastest but it is one of the most reliable.

Toshiba actually cut production by 25% not the price.
