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
Very Good Price / Capacity Ratio ($0.25/GB), Read Performance Levels, 3 Year Warranty, Bundle (7mm to 9.5mm bracket & Acronis Migration Software), ,
Write Performance Levels, Endurance Numbers (Compared To Its Immediate Competition),
Usually when a manufacturer releases a device in the market ment to replace another that device is better at least in one area and judging by our results the BX200 is actually quite faster in read performance compared to its predecessor the...

As we have seen with the Trion 100, Crucial is also settling into the affordable and high-capacity SSD market with their BX200 by incorporating Micron 16nm 128Gbit TLC NAND, a Silicon Motion SM2256 and also DRAM cache which varies in size depending on the...
We test a number of SSD storage drives on a daily basis. Some for official reviews and others for test to manage and understand the technology, where it's going and if there are any performances or set-ups that may make the difference to the end user. The...

Write speed is quite weak, Does not scale well with high queue depth, Write speed is quite weak, Does not scale well with high queue depth
The BX200 performs decent with in both random and sequential read but it suffered quite a lot in the random write and sequential write. The sequential write shows the worst performance which is somewhat unusual since SSD manufacturers often use this numbe...

Read speeds are very respectable, 72TB TDW endurance (40Gb/day over 5 years), Acronis True Image HD license included
Poor write performance once cache is full, Pricing not yet competitive enough to justify purchasing over other drives
So what do the results of all of our testing really mean? Well, it means a few things really. First off is that we definitely do not recommended this drive for users looking for the fastest SSD out there. That is a given. Second, this drive is also no...
There is only one thing that the Crucial BX200 is a lacking, and this is write performance. I am not talking about the synthetic benchmarks but the real world tests, and I was surprised by how easy it was for me to push the drive to its limits. I hope tha

We did set this up as a head-to-head matchup, so we're going to have to declare a winner. Though neither drive blew us away, the victory goes to the OCZ Trion 100. Both drives struggled to match the speeds of much older hardware (like Intel's X25-M) in s...
Available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities, Good sequential and random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, SATA 6Gb/s interface, Supports TRIM, SMART and active garbage collection, DEVSLP power
Mediocre random write performance, Write speed drops when SLC cache is full, Does not support hardware based encryption
While not Crucial's fastest or most feature packed SSD, the BX200 is an easy and affordable way for consumers to improve the performance of their existing desktop or notebook computer. The BX200 combines Silicon Motion's SM2256 controller with Micron's ne...
