Vertex 3 is faster so C400 should be cheaper.
They said the 240gb Vertex 3 would be about $500. The C400 can be had now for $459. Plus if you go back and look at failure rates between Intel, Crucial, and OCZ this may change your mind also.

Did anyone post this already?

I just don't know what to think.
Tweaktown's c400 does 450MB/s sustained read and Tom's gets 391MB/s.
I'm officially totally confused about the Crucial drives.
The performance of the C400 when full isn't promising...

It might surprise you, but Crucial's Marvell-based drives don't have any over-provisioning.

I think I'd prefer to give up the 3.4% of space for Over-Provisioning like the Intel 510.
Couldn't you do this manually by partitioning 3.4% smaller? If that works then technically micron is letting you choose your amount of partitioning? (I assume the controller can still map to unpartitioned space - after all the latter should be a higher level construct than the controller is working at?)

As for the read speed decrease on the m4 when full, that does look worrisome,
JohnleMVP where did you get it from? SuperBiiz?
Yeah, I got it from SuperBiiz.
Got my 256GB C400 today.
Here is my 80GB X25M G2 RAID 0 compared to my C400 in the same PC.
The X25M has windows on it and the C400 is completely empty.
Interesting these things slow downthe fuller they get too...
It's fairly well known that SSD's decrease in performance the less room they have to work with GC and TRIM.
This is true, however, it depends on the SSD - some are worse than others.
True but then you should have said something to the effect that it's interesting that this one seems to slow down more than others when it gets full
I should have done a lot of things in life...
Is anyone else concerned at the speed decrease experienced by the C400/m4?
Well after all the reviews the Vertex 3 sure is looking good. I may have to wait for G.Skill's version of it to come out.
Well NewEgg had the C300 128GB'ers for $199 yesterday via a coupon in their email blast. That's a damn good price for a damn good SSD. And........ they sold out yesterday as well...
I was gonna grab me one or two to test out.
+9.. i dont give a crap about the OCZ bad reviews and haters.. speed is speed. not like i keep a drive more than a couple years anyway.. the Vertex 3 is about top of the pack for me right now..

After a couple bad experiences I can't help but be a hater. It's easy say you don't care when you haven't had a bad experience with them. Looking at the failure rates for all the brands OCZ doesn't look as dependable. Not saying I wont pick one up if it ends up being the best out there in terms of performance. I will just hate my self
hey i got one of the OCZ 120GB disks with less space than it should have had. didnt bother me.. in fact, its in my machine right now.
I'm sure OCZ would give it's left nut to have all it's customers mimic your attitude.
