Samsung 840 Pro vs Crucial M4
How much difference will the speed of Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD be coming from someone who is currently using a Crucial M4 128GB SSD?
Is boot times and shutting down times significant? |

now intel RST drivers support TRIM for RAID 0, recommend you get 2 520 120GB and RAID it more worthwhile

Crucial m4 is probably the best performer for the money for a good long time. Only unless you just want to have the best, then go ahead and get the Samsung 840, though I can safely say you'd probably feel very little difference during use (apart from starting up and shutting down).
Right now my MBP on Mountain Lion (Crucial m4 256GB) is already booting up in about 14 secs. I have no hard figures, but I'm guessing the Samsung 840 will only do at best 10 seconds? Just a guess, but just think about how much time you save. To me, not much.

haha there is a difference between the 840 and the 840 pro.. imo, the 840 is slightly cheaper than the m4 and they both perform similarly (the 840 outperforms the m4 slightly)... bought the 840 500GB at around 340USD, and an m4 512GB for 400USD last year...
