Crucial Launches V4 Series Mainstream Consumer SSD by VR-Zone.com

My laptop only supports SATAII (3GB/s speed) connection.
However M4 more common than V4.
If bo bian then i'll have to turn to M4 liao.

is the controller in V4 similar to M4 (Marvell)?
TIA

Wanna own a 256GB this time, sold my 64GB M4 4 months ago...
101% for reliability, not a BSOD before.
Now using HDD, as more apps loaded onto HDD the boot time exponentially increased

Hi guys, can anyone advise.. i've cloned my old SSD to the new M4 ssd using Acronis... After that i try to boot with the new SSD but it says bootmgr not found. any idea ?

Hi all I just got the crucial m4 at TP too. As I brought the laptop from oversea so it's still not due in sg yet. Basically the laptop come with a 750gb SATA hdd and I wish to put this 256gb ssd as my primary OS hdd

I want to know:

1. Can I download the win 7 installation n copy into a cd(iso/ image)
Or thumb drive then use it like normal setup to install the win 7 onto the ssd?
I read in a forum that they upload the win 7 installation file so as long you have a valid cd key can register already

2. What is the process to install win 7 on ssd?
Same like norm procedure? Insert cd, press any key to run win 7?

Ok i've resolved the error... Basically Acronis does a perfect job but somehow when i clone the first time, it partitions the M4 into 2 separate drive whereby the 1st drive is a clone of the previous SSD and the 2nd drive is blank. it caused a lot of BSOD.

So i reclone and this time clone without a secondary drive and works flawlessly.

No problem at all bro.. the software is very straightforward.. during cloning it will ask you for source and destination... SATA HDD will also appear in the list.... if u need more info you can pm me.
