I have the Muskin and love it. Benchmarks right around the advertised speeds for me, and feels every bit as snappy in real world use as a Samsung 830 I have in another system.

By the way, it's only $6 more on Amazon for those of you who don't use Newegg:

I submitted Newegg's price to Amazon, so let's hope they price match.

Thanks for the heads up on the Amazon price, I too submitted a price match request, hopefully I can use up some Amazon gift cards I have on hand.

Also put in a request to PM with amazon. Will offset the sales tax newegg charges.

Which one is better choice in terms of reliability and performance 128GB Crucial M4 or 120GB Mushkin Enhanced Chronos?

Your Amazon link is for the non-"Enhanced" version though?
Never mind, it's the same thing, I got confused.
