I have been using the M4 for months now.
Very good drive, and you don't really "need" to write at 500mb/sec.
The read is more important, for the reliability, I will stick to my M4.

You have a lot to learn.
Amazon is probably shipping the newer revised model, but just didn't update their product listing. This is just a guess though.

That speed comes with the sacrifice of reliability... which would you rather have insane speeds with low reliability or high speed with high reliability?

This is very true.
Have fun waiting for those to drop in price.
Keep the M4. The newest firmware improved the speed a lot. They look to be more reliable as well.

Newegg will probably pay your return shipping to do an exchange if you chat with them.
