Crucial also points out the new m4 firmware solves an issue with intermittent failures in cold boot up seen in some specific host system configurations.
m4 owners may easily upgrade from either firware 0001 or 0002 to 0009 by downloading it from Crucial’s support site.
We will be upgrading our m4 and will post revised benchmarks shortly.
