Even without a modern SATA 6Gbps bus-equipped PC, the Crucial RealSSD C300 would be our first choice for a performance SSD at this capacity. Not only does it take on the attention-grabbing sequential read-write tests with dashing aplomb, it also prove...
There will come a time in the near future when we'll look back and heartily guffaw at paying £2 per GB for SSD storage. In the middle of 2010, however, paying under £2 for a premium SSD, especially low-capacity models, represents a good bet.Crucial i...
Abstract: As we were testing the C300 256GB today this makes the cost significantly higher than the other drives being tested but comparing this model to a SandForce based 256GB drive shows that Crucial have their pricing set at a very aggressive level, £40 below the competition..
going to the top of the SSD class with some drool-worthy performance, the Crucial RealSSD C300 does enough to garner a HEXUS performance gong as storage for the ultimate PC. The best SSD going? We'll only know that once a SandForce-powered drive has b...
Abstract: New SSDs from Crucial, Kingston, and Western Digital haven’t made buying decisions any easier. In fact, buying the right drive just got more complex. One thing is clear, though: never, ever buy an SSD product without looking at..
Using the Crucial C300 on a Sata 2.0 connection produced a warm glowing feeling but things went to pieces when using Sata 3.0. Most of the benchmark figures dipped alarmingly, however, Iometer gave great results. While there are performance gains with...
Tieing up a 24-page roundup in a few lines isn’t easy, especially as the cost of flash memory is currently dropping, meaning that the price of 120 to 128 GB SSDs is changing almost daily, with some manufacturers responding faster than others. Pricing i...
Abstract: Although Crucial brand is used by a daughter-company of Micron, one of the semiconductor market leaders, RealSSD C300 uses not only Micron components inside. Yes, flash memory chips are only...
Abstract: When we published our first SSD report in September 2008, an Intel X25-M 80 GB cost around €500. Since then prices have certainly come down and Intel now markets its Intel SSD 320 Series 300 GB at the same price! An entry level 128 GB SSD such as thos...
Abstract: A year ago whenever I'd request an SSD for review I'd usually get a 128GB drive built using 3x nm 4GB 2-bit MLC NAND die. These days the standard review capacity is twice that as most drives ship with 25nm NAND, using 8GB die. Seeing a bunch of scores for...
