Looking at buying a Crucial CT240M500SSD1 240GB or a Crucial CT256MX100SSD1 256GB MX100 . Can anyone tell me if one is better than the other as there is only £1 between them on Amazon. Running WIN 7 64bit. (Just missed a good "Black Friday" deal on Amazon )
 
Solution
I got the 240Gb M500. Love it. Have two. One in my regular or "Daily PC" because it only uses 60 watts (Its a Dual Core Celeron 1.7 GHZ with 4 GB of ram) After putting that SSD In there I couldn't tell a difference between daily use stuff between that and my FX-8320 with 8GB or ram with same SSD. Both are running SATA 6Gbps. The specs though are pretty much the same as far as speed goes and they seem to be the cheaper SSD's around for that price for the most part for those sizes.
