[modestninja]

Reviving this thread for new deals on various sizes of the Crucial M4:

64GB - $102
128GB - $165
256GB - $340
512GB - $660

People at the other deal sites are getting Staples to PM these (mainly the 128GB drive) and then applying the 30 off 150 coupon that you can purchase on the internet. If it's anything like past PMs with Staples, just add the item to your cart, start a chat session, and after they PM it, apply the coupon.

$135 + tax is a steal for the 128GB drive. Seems like it's worth a try if you're in the market.

I went with the Samsung 830 256GB for $340. $20 off code ends today though...Reviews show it to be at least equal in performance to the M4 if not a little better and they include software to update frimware and run TRIM, Secure Erase and GC from within windows. Also includes Batman Arkham City. No rebate needed either.

Make sure the firmware is updated to the latest. I hit the 5200 hour bug on my m4 which causes the ssd to stop writes. Once you reboot/restart the OS, the bug hits exactly one hour later.
New drives should have the newest firmware. But just beware..

for user that wants even bigger the 512gb is

644 dollars use walnut and it drops to 629.

ebates will take 1 percent of that so it drops to 623.

many credit cards will take 1 or 2 percent off so 512gb for under 615 is possible.
