Hello there !
So where I live, the M500 costs 120$ and the MX1000 is 141$ for the 240/256gb versions.
I am using approximately 150GB with all of my software and games so figured it would be a nice upgrade from my limited M4 128GB.

Any reason at all to get the MX1000 over the m500 ? I have one m500 in my laptop and it's alright, no complaints.. What could have they done to the new one ?

Edit: Corsair Force LS 240gb costs about the same as an M500 and in stock ...

mx100 uses newer dram chips.

I would stick with any crucial product.

Cool.... Such chips that make the M500 obsolete or just a usual upgrade like when CPU's go from 32nm to 28nm ... ?

not really obsolete just cheaper to make

"It builds on the same architecture as the Crucial M500 and M550, using the same Marvell 88SS9189 controller, but 16 nanometer flash chips instead of the 19 nm chips found on the older models."
