Just got my Crucial M4 256GB.
Do i need to update firmware to 000F before using or install OS first then update firmware?

It's probably better to update the firmware before use. But from my own experience, data is always intact.

OCZ Agility 3 120GB @ $138 or Intel 330 120GB @ $156 more worth?

Both from Tradepac pricelist.

Intel 330 is faster, using Synchronous NAND
Agility 3 is using Asynchronous NAND (cheaper and slightly slower)
Most people will not notice the diff in speed between this two SSDs

For me, I will go for the cheapest. Just make sure the ssd comes with 3-yrs warranty will do

 

[echeong]

intel is 3 or 5yrs warranty for 330?

 

[MacClipper]

intel is 3 or 5yrs warranty for 330?

hey Ed, long time no see.

btw, it's 3 yr for 330.

 

[cnt]

get intel as the price diff not big

 

[cookcpu]

For the Intel 330, will 120 GB enough for installing OS.

 

[burger]

For the Intel 330, will 120 GB enough for installing OS.

more than enough if just for OS
