The editors liked
Good performance
Very cheap
Micron controller and NAND
9.5mm adapter included
Acronis True HD code included
Near-1TB capacity
Solid value
Backed by Crucial infrastructure
The BX200 ships with a nice software package
And aggressive updates could help with performance.
Decent performance across the board
Looks great (for an SSD)
3 year limited warranty
Exceptional value for money (480GB version)
Notable improvement over previous BX100 SSDs
Reasonable performance in general use
Decent speeds if not exceeding the 6GB cache
Price is decent across the BX200 range
The editors didn't like
There are none!
Speed drops during long sequential operations (AIDA64)
Neutral
TLC NAND has lower endurance than MLC but brings more capacity per real estate
“With Crucial’s BX200 SSD series there aren’t any excuse left to stay with traditional mechanical storage. Mak
Slower than most other SSDs
Only available in 2.5in form factor
High latency
High cost
Low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.
A lot of competitive alternatives for not much more money
Massively slows down while transferring large files
Not cheap enough to offset that slowdown
80MB/s when the amount of data exceeds the 6GB cache
Similar drives with better performance can be had for not much more
Performance wise the Crucial BX200 is a disappointment. The 480GB model is already slower than its predecessor, but the 240GB model shows a giant leap backwards. Nevertheless the BX200 480GB is remains an excellent choice in terms of price / performance...
As we've already mentioned in this review the BX200 is one of the first solid states to utilise the newly released Silicon Motion SM2256 Controller. This is also the first time Micron have used made use of a TLC-based solution.Throughout our testing of BX...

It was more than a pleasure to have Crucial's new BX200 solid state drive on the test bench these last couple of days and it performed admirably. Granted, it isn't topping out any charts except one, and that is the price one. We have never before been abl...
Looking at build quality first the drive provides a good level of component. We know that Micron (Crucial) make great NAND and so are always happy to use their drives. The Silicon Motion controller used here is an evolution of the previous gen which has b...

High latency, high cost, low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.
Crucial's BX200 currently suffers too many issues to warrant a recommendation. Just for fun, we went back to the company's C300, the first SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drive to hit the market, as a comparison point. It surfaced in 2010 and obliterated the BX2...
Ultimately, buying an SSD is a question of how much you're willing to sacrifice to attain a lower price per gigabyte. With the BX200, you don't get advanced features like power loss protection or hardware accelerated encryption, and the performance limita...
Abstract: Crucial has been a go-to for low cost, good quality solid state drives, as I've personally used a few on a handful of my systems. Recently, the company sent over the 960GB BX200, which was originally available for $299 but can now be found on their own we...
