Intel 320 120GB vs Crucial m4 128GB

[Goi]

Hi,

I'll be getting SSDs for both a new i5-2500K/Z68 desktop and a new Lenovo G470 i5-2410M laptop.

Is it worth the extra money getting the Crucial m4 128GB over the intel 320 120GB for either of these systems? Where I am, the Crucial costs $306 and the Intel costs $248. The Intel 510 120GB is not an option as it costs even more at $338. I'm not in USA so I can't take advantage of any online deals.

Thanks.

I know I've said it a decent amount in this forum lately, but it is only because Anand has failed to review it yet. Have you checked the new Samsung 470s? It has been getting great reviews. Even on Newegg it is one of the only SSDs to have 5 eggs even after 60 reviews.

Unfortunately Samsung 470s are hard to find where I am.

With SSD's as they are now I would only buy Intel SSD's due to their proven track record of reliability. Performance of the Intel SSD's are not as good in benchmarks but this is not noticeable in in actual use.
