So newegg has new SSDs in stock the new ones being the Corsair and Plextor, which one to go with?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100008120%20600038519%20600038477&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=636|20-148-361^20-148-361-TS%2C20-148-358^20-148-358-TS%2C20-249-009^20-249-009-TS%2C20-148-357^20-148-357-02%23%2C20-233-153^20-233-153-TS

What exactly is the difference between the 3 Crucial drives? and why are they all different prices?

I'm leaning towards the Plextor or the Corsair.

Thanks

Neither. The c300.

The performance 3 fails @ 4k read and writes.

Haven't seen much on the Plextor, but I don't see that it has any advantage over the c300.
 
I'm inclined to agree and say the Crucial C300 would be a better deal. The Crucial ssd's are quite popular and they've been available for quite some time. If you are patient and check newegg.com everyday, then you just might find a Crucial ssd on sale at a fairly good price. The sale prices are usually only good for one or two days.

What is your motherboard brand and model?
Which Operating system are you using? Windows 7 or something else?
What do you do with your computer? Play games or professional work?
What is your budget? How much are you willing to pay?

The answers to those questions will give us a better idea which drives might be suitable for you.
