Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the 500GB Crucial BX100 SSD performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Micron specifications suggest 535 MB/s maximum re...
Since I've already had the opportunity to test Silicon Motion SM2246EN based SSDs in the past, I had some idea of the type of performance to expect. While Crucial does make some minor tweaks to the firmware, performance isn't much different from what we'v...
Low price per gigabyte, Good performance for a budget drive, Available in capacities up to 1TB
Slower in some tests than previous (and still available) MX100, No bundled software
Crucial's latest low-end SSD holds the company's place with, again, one of best budget drives available. At its debut pricing, it's not quite the stunning value its predecessor was, but it's still a strong buy. Read More…...
Good Build Quality, Good Overall Performance, 3 Years Warranty, Price (For Some), ,
Lack Of Features,
As you can all easily tell from our charts the BX100 250GB may not be amongst the fastest SSDs we've ever tested but on one hand Crucial never ment it to be (the MX200 line is aimed at that and our review is just a few days away) while on...

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points belowTo sum up, this is what I would say-I have one major complaint about the drive, and that is the fact that it wasn't able to reach 90K in my 4K test. Others might also complain about the...

Sometimes a product appears which sells itself. The Crucial BX100 1TB SSD is one such product.With SSDs you often find the headline grabbing figures are the read speeds, sometimes they're the write speeds. With the Crucial BX100 the headline figures are a...

Abstract: Crucial and Micron have been hard and heavy in the SSD arena and since they are also a big player in the semiconductor business they have a good foundation for the storage media platform. We had a look at the MX100 drive back in June of '14 and we found t...

Overall, the BX100's performance in the benchmark tests were pretty good except for the 1TB drive not quite reaching read IOPS specifications. The PCMark Vantage scores were impressive especially when compared to the MX200 results we saw earlier this week...
