Micron RealSSD P400e Enterprise SSD Review
"Overall we were impressed by the Micron RealSSD P400e, hitting a lower price/performance mark than other eMLC solutions by leveraging consumer-grade MLC NAND. For business and enterprise buyers that don't need the endurance of an eMLC or SLC SSD, but still want more enterprise-grade features than a consumer SSD has to offer, the RealSSD P400e comes in with a great mix of performance and value."

Crucial 128GB m4 SSD review
“Consumers looking to purchase a high-end SSD upgrade are likely to make their choice based on three criteria; performance, capacity and price. Based on those key factors, we've seen few SATA 6Gbps drives as compelling as Crucial's 128GB m4 SSD… Crucial hasn't reinvented the wheel, but by tweaking a tried-and-trusted controller it has produced an excellent SSD that's both faster and cheaper than last year's model. At this price, the m4 SSD is well worthy of consideration for any SATA 6Gbps system.”

"The m4 seems to reclaim trimmed flash pages as aggressively as the C300-that's why there isn't much of a drop in copy speed between the drive's fresh and used states. Also, Crucial's latest drive copies the large files that make up our movie and MP3 file sets more quickly than its RealSSD forebear."
