Remember when there was a vast divide between the prices for hard drives and the prices for solid state drives? Well, that gap is quickly shrinking and it’s even smaller today because you can get up to 60% off Crucial’s SSDs on Amazon.

Just in time for the back to school season, the Crucial m4 2.5-inch solid state drive is selling for between 45% off and 62% off, depending on your capacity of choice. This is a great upgrade for your computer, since it gives a huge performance boost, making you work, play and study that much faster. These are all SATA 6Gb/s drives.

The Crucial 128GB m4 is on sale for $79.99, which is $133 off the regular list price of $212.99. The 256GB drive is $164.99 (down from $299.99) and the 512GB drive is $349.99 (down from $699.99). If you consider that you’re saving up to $350–in the case of the 512GB SSD–this is a pretty killer deal. And since it’s Amazon, you get free shipping too. It’s today only, so act quickly!

On that same page, you’ll also find some great deals on Lexar JumpDrive USB 3.0 flash drives. The 32GB and 64GB versions are $17.99 and $32.99, down from $74.99 and $149.99, respectively.

There was a time when even the smallest SSD drive could easily fetch you close to a thousand dollars, maybe even more. Today the price has dropped quite a bit, but we still have yet to see that many ‘budget’ flash options either, luckily this is all changing with the 2.5-inch Crucial V4 drive series. The new Crucial line up starts at just $50, granted that’s only 32GB of storage space, but still not bad for just $50. From there you’ll find 64GB for $70, 128GB for $100, and 256MB for just $190. Each of these have read speeds up to 230 MB/s and write speeds up to 190MB/s using SATA-2 capable devices.

While a hardcore gamer might not be content with these drive sizes, these would be a great way to speed up your laptop or even desktop without breaking the bank. Is Crucial a worthwhile brand? While it might not be the biggest name, it is a quality brand that has become quite popular in the world of RAM and SSD drives.

The full press release is available below for those interested, or head on over to Amazon for pricing.

Crucial v4 Solid State Drive Improves Performance of Mainstream Computers at an Affordable Price

New Crucial v4 SSD Provides SATA 2 (3Gb/s) Systems with Enhanced Start-Up Times, Transfer Speeds, and Durability

Key Messages:

Delivers substantial yet affordable SSD performance improvements for systems built before 2011

Built to match the transfer capabilities of mainstream SATA 2 (3Gb/s)-capable desktops and laptops

Available now with MSRPs of $49.99 (32GB), $69.99 (64GB), $99.99 (128GB), and $189.99 (256GB)

Boise, ID, and Glasgow, UK, July 31, 2012 Crucial, a leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades, today introduced the Crucial v4 Solid State Drive (SSD), designed to deliver substantial yet affordable performance gains for mainstream SATA 2 (3Gb/s) systems, the primary performance capability of computers purchased before 2011. Available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities with MSRPs of $49.99, $69.99, $99.99, and $189.99 respectively, the Crucial v4 SSD can be purchased now through select global channel partners, or direct through www.crucial.com.

The Crucial v4 SSD offers read speeds up to 230MB/s and write speeds up to 190MB/s, enabling faster startup times, faster application downloads, faster transfer data speeds, and increased reliability compared to traditional hard drives. The v4 SSD joins the m4 SSD and Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution to round out the award-winning Crucial SSD portfolio.

“The Crucial v4 SSD boils down to two things: performance and value,” said Robert Wheadon, senior worldwide product manager, Crucial. “Most consumers realize that SSDs help their computers start quicker and run faster, and are a more durable alternative to hard drives, but many don’t realize that most SSDs outperform the data transfer capabilities of their SATA 2 machines. With the Crucial v4 SSD, we’ve come up with a product that’s designed to bring the most value out of a SATA 2 system without paying for extra performance that can’t be used.”

Leveraging the industry-leading memory, design, and manufacturing capability of Micron Technology, Inc., the Crucial v4 SSD is backed by a three-year limited warranty, and is compatible with both PC and Mac® systems.
