The BX100 is a worthy replacement for the MX100. The drive shows improvement across the board over the MX100. While the older MX100's read is lagging behind the competitor, the BX100's read performance is now competitive against the competitor. The write...

None worth to mention,
Crucial BX100 500GB SATA SSD is a great option for all who wish to upgrade their computers with faster drives but don't want to spend much money. This inexpensive SSD is performing well and should be good regardless for what you need it. BX100 is perfect...
Well Priced, High Quality Components, Great Read and Write Speeds
The Crucial BX100 feels very much like the MX200 we tested a short time ago. The BX100 shares the same excellent finish and solid construction of the MX200, something we have come to expect from Crucial.ATTO recorded as read speed of 559 MB/s, about 4% ab...

Abstract: It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price cu...

The MX100 was a revolutionary product in many ways. It was the first drive to move to sub-19nm NAND, which brought cost savings along with it. The combination of price and performance made the MX100 arguably one of the most cost efficient drives on the ma...

Abstract: Crucial has been a primary driving force of SSD technology since the early days, and for good reason: the company is owned by Micron, which together with Intel created IM Flash Technologies to produce NAND flash memory.As one of the top five semiconduct...
Encryption hasn't taken off for consumers and we've found that price often matters more than advanced features or even the best performance available. First and foremost users want reliability, then low price and finally acceptable performance. SSDs b...
