The only downside that I see with the BX300 SSDs is the short three year warranty. Samsung provides a 5year warranty for their 850 EVO SSDs and 10years for thei
After spending copious time with the Crucial BX300 480GB drive it's not really a budget drive at its heart but it's aimed at a budget minded market and that's a very good thing. With its Micron 3D MLC NAND flash and Silicon Motion SM2258XT controller, the...

With the BX300, Micron has succeeded to bring to the market an affordable mainstream SSD that is able to deliver sustained performance (unlike TLC-based counterparts) and also uses DRAM cache in order to obtain a speed boost. The Silicon Motion SM2258 com...
Abstract: Let's spend a little time thinking about the past, and especially the Crucial BX series. It all started back in 2015 with the outstanding BX100 SSD, a drive that was affordable and at the same time had zero compromises in build quality, and most important...

Crucial BX300 Series SSDs - Find Them At AmazonAs we have seen with many of the recently released SATA-based solid state drives, the Crucial BX300 is bumping into the limitations of the SATA interface. Even still, a SSD like the BX300 still represents a m...

The BX300, all things being equal, and by that we mean available at or near the same price as TLC NAND SSDs, is the better drive. You might not notice the performance difference in everyday use, but the first time you write a large batch of files to it yo...

Poor pricing, Short warranty
Most of the good 256GB SSDs are out of production, and the 850 EVO 250GB is often difficult to find. The Crucial BX300 240GB is faster than the EVO under heavy workloads and matches its performance in typical applications. Unfortunately, Crucial fell...
