TRIM would be nice though

someone today told me that these are bad. They said that if they are using photoshop and then load winamp to play music in the background, photoshop and winamp both stutter and its like this all the time when having a few programs running at the same time (multi-tasking).
Nonsense, yes?

Think that was with the earlier ones (as in not these crucials, but previous gen ssd's?!?!?)

Lucky you, mine is still bouncing from "Printed in our warehouse" to "In our warehouse queue" and back and forth.
And I think you mean 128 GB, not MB

Nonsense indeed, assuming you're talking about the M225s (been using one since release).

Certainly

64Gb also a good buy?

A bit slower than the 128 and 256gb drives, but yep for the price you'd be hard pushed to find better.

can these be partitioned?
Say I bought the 128Gb version Crucial and then split it so Win7 was on a 40Gb partition and the other partition used as Temp holding/downloading/sorting area?
Possible?
And, am i right in saying SSD's do not need to be defragged? Do these come with TRIM software (as thats what they use/need)?

Got my 128GB today, but am going to wait till the new firmware is out and this has the old firmware on it.
My 64GB drive is doing fine without trim disabled. It will be going into my laptop and I'll take the 128gb for my main setup, the prices have went up £20-£30 direct compared to Overclockers cheaper prices £112.98 can't be beaten I doubt.
I hope the new firmware(whenever its out) won't have to erase the drive, I'm holding off popping my 128GB as my new OS hdd.

Yes quite possible, in use just like any other drive.
Correct no defragging. And yes you can easily download the latest wiper.exe to restore lost performance.
