As an added bonus we have the HD Tune Pro run a plethora of benchmarks and extra tests. These results are identical between the 480GB and 960GB flavours of the Crucial M500. We also see higher reads and writes here, and since ATTO tends to do the same, the results are confirmed for both benchmarking tools.

  1. Amazing review Deepak. Must be good as you got linked by Engadget whereas…well…TSSDR never. eheheh.

  2. Can’t blame you two for the cheery mood! Both reviews are great, and I am very cheerful as well! 60 Cents/GB for a 3rd gen Marvel SSD, and at 960 GB capacity, means -for the first time- high-end rigs can be built without mechanical drives!

  3. What is it about SMART attributesAA and C4, new drive failing?!

  4. I like this review of that powerful Crucial M500 480GB SSD
