3year warranty

Because of the higher price per gigabyte a 120 GB SSD is not a good choice for most people. However, under certain circumstances you can save some money by buying one of these. For example in a computer for grandpa and grandma extra storage capacity mig...

Well I think it only fair to say WOW…really is there anything more fitting we could say? The MX100 set out to offer a great performance to price ratio and without a doubt that's exactly what Crucial have achieved. Taking the DNA from a well-received produ...
Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

Excellent value for money, 3 year warranty, 7mm Height
Lots of faster drives available (but at a much higher cost)
The Crucial MX100 offers good performance at a very good price. Clearly, the MX100 does not offer ground breaking performance as it was consistently around mid-table throughout our suite of benchmarks. This however should not put you off from considering ...
Market leading value SSD, – Great bang for buck performance, – 3 year warranty, – Acronis cloning software included
Only available in 128/256/512GB variations (no 1TB option), – Write speeds could be a little better
So the Crucial MX100 256GB has had its chance to impress with our chosen benchmarks, but what's the final verdict? It's arguably one of the cheapest 256GB SSDs on the market but does cheap really mean bad? From personal experience, Crucial drives I have...
Affordable, Good all, round performance, Acronis True HD is a nice bonus
Doesn't quite beat the top, end SSDs on the market, No 1TB version available, SSD lifespan good, but again, not the best around
If someone asked me to recommend an SSD for them, the 512GB Crucial MX100 would definitely be one I'd consider. While the Samsung 850 Pro comfortably retains its top spot on the SSD performance chart, the MX100 puts in a good show, and costs a full £100 ...
Phenomenal price, Good large read speeds, 9.5mm adapter included
Falters in other benchmarks, Mediocre endurance level, Three-year warranty
Crucial's MX100 is the cheapest SSD we've ever seen, and the low price makes up for its inconsistent performance – in some tests this is one of the best drives we've reviewed, and in others it's near the bottom of the table. Still, it's faster than any ha...

It looks like Crucial has a winner on its hands here with the Crucial MX100 256GB SDD (CT256MX100SSD1) . As we have stated in the past SSDs are not generally that exciting, but this one is a little more interesting than some of the others at least, becau...

Abstract: Solid-state storage is found in everything from smartphones and tablets to servers and workstations. Flash has become the dominant form of memory because it's faster than traditional spinning hard disks, more reliable, and prices have dropped dramatically...
The conclusion is clear: given the current price level of the Crucial MX100 and its competitors, we have a new sweetheart in the budget segment. Forget Crucial's own M500, forget the Kingston V300, forget the Samsung 840 Evo, forget the Sandisk Ultra Pl...
