"Other than price, which is constantly falling, there is one factor which often seems to stop consumers from moving to a SSD... capacity. That is the reason we have seen the introduction of hybrid systems and cache drives. These products are designed to give the user some benefits of both traditional models and SSD but they don't match the performance of a true stand-alone solid state device.
Today we see Crucial attempt to drive the SSD market forward with the introduction of a SSD which has a capacity up to 960GB (so the best part of 1TB) while maintaining a price point which competes with 512GB models from the likes of Samsung and OCZ. Can the new M500 compete in performance as well as cost? In a selection of synthetic and real world tests we find out."
