I've had a 512 gig Crucial M4 in my work MBP for just under a year and the thing absolutely rocks.

Has anyone used Corsair's Neutron GTX. Reading on some sites like anand the the increased spare area the dedicate in their SSDs keep their speed more consistent.

Though one could suppose an unused partition on any sad drive could produce a similar benefit.

And are OWC's SSD offerings good? I have read a lot of remarks suggesting that they are, along with great remarks about the samsun 830/840, tho some felt the 840 "pro" was susceptible to some kind of failure...

I kind of like having an abundance of choices, but at the same time, I'm in the weeds about picking the right one(s) for me...

The OWC SSD reviews are good, but they seem to ask a premium for their SSD parts.
