Still very expensive
Lowish sequential write speed may be offputting for some
Marvell controller slightly unknown
Inferior access times penalise performance in certain practical tests
The Crucial RealSSD C300 relies heavily on its fast SATA 6.0Gbps interface. Without the fast data-rate the SSD has a hard time keeping up with other competing drives. In most of our real-world traces the difference between the two interfaces generally...
Capable of blazing fast read speeds, Exceeded 355MB/s rated read speed during testing with SATA 6Gbps controller, Still fast on SATA 3Gbps connector (365MB/s), Supports everything you might expect and more: NCQ, SMART, TRIM, SATA 6Gbps, 3-year warranty
Write speeds for the 128GB model are just average, Each capacity comes with different write speed specifications, Price tag
Crucial has a very appealing line of solid state drives on their hands with the RealSSD C300 series. By utilizing a controller capable of SATA 6Gbps transfers, they have taken the high speed performance expected of SSDs and taken it to another level. ...
The occasionally lackluster write performance numbers might lead you to believe that this drive is underperforming, and in the strictest sense, that is true. In practice, however, a SSD used as a boot drive is being read from far more often than it’s...
Abstract: With the size of pages and blocks of NAND increasing on these new chips, the controllers that use them will be aiming to make up for the losses in speed for smaller accesses that are inherent in these changes. Moreover, while this flash memory doesn't seem affected and still has an endurance of 5000 write cycl..
Wow. Maxing out a Gen2 Serial ATA controller? Granted, the drive is very expensive (retail is hitting $600-700, Newegg Link, Amazon Link). If money is no option and speed is everything, this is the drive for you. Crucial has done something very unique....
Making the value-to-performance trade-off is a tough one when it comes to SSDs, especially now that 60GB SandForce drives are becoming increasingly common. However, the C300 64GB really does deliver the performance where it really counts – you get 100 ...
Put simply, the Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB is a monster of an SSD. It's the first SATA 6Gbps drive that delivered the kinds of superb speed that the new bus is capable of, with staggeringly fast performance right across the board, regardless of file co...
Abstract: Today we have in our labs Crucial's latest mid-range addition to its C300 series of Solid State Drives (SSD). The Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB is offering a capacity of 64GB and it is also comparatively cheap. The new drive could attract many enthusiasts ...
Judging by the performance numbers SSD manufacturers have been getting from some of their latest drives, the SATA 6Gb/s standard could not have come soon enough. With most drives topping out at an interface-limited ~270MB/s, the Crucial C300 RealSSD ...
