The editors didn't like
None
No M.2 version
Yet
Not As Fast As The 850 EVO (For Some)
Write speed drops when SLC cache is full
Latency Percentile revealed some inconsistencies at higher write QD and overall elevated read latencies when the drive has been written to capacity
Inconsistent performance
Limited capacities
Not As Fast As The Samsung 850 EVO
Even though performance is good
We were expecting some more
Uneven performance
Entrylevel performance
High latency spikes during moderate and heavy workload
Writes slow down to 300MBps when cache is exceeded
A bit slow in high-queue-depth tests
Warranty is one notch from the top
Available in 750GB capacity only
Not the fastest in its class
The drive has a short three-year warranty and trails behind its main competitor
The more expensive Samsung 850 Evo
In performance and features
Performance levels may make upgrading from an existing SSD difficult
PCI Express SSDs are far faster
Not quite the revolution in GB/$ we were hoping for
Slower than some drives on the same price bracket
Write performance is weaker
Random read is a bit slower than planar NAND drives
Random read is a bit slower than planar NA
Only a 3-year warranty
TLC not trusted by as many users as MLC
Only average performance
3 Years Warranty
The only downside that I see with the MX300 SSDs is the short three year warranty. Samsung provides 5years warranty for their 850 EVO SSDs and 10years for their 850 Pro SSDs. I think that Crucial/Micron should increase the warranty to 5

As the second manufacturer with 3D NAND SSD, Crucial MX300 certainly delivers respectable performance. We are glad to see that the MX300 has delivered a balanced performance across the board that we have not seen from the company's last couple of drives...
The Crucial MX300 drives have been out for a number of months now and the community feedback on them is very good. For example on Amazon it has a 4.6 our of 5 star rating on 136 verified purchase reviews. Our performance testing on the Crucial MX300 1TB...

Our time with the Crucial MX300 has been what we would consider “tame”. While that may lead you to believe that we weren't impressed by the MX300, you would be wrong. The performance across the board has lived up to our expectations when we consider C...

As I said when I first reviewed this drive Crucial's approach with this drive is the get higher capacity drives in the hands of more people. They are doing this by designing the MX300 to not be the fastest drive out there, but to be a great mid-level driv...
Although the Crucial MX300 is undoubtedly one of the most crucial launches for Micron, it definitely wasn't an easy one. We first heard of the Crucial MX300 back in April when Crucial was originally planning to launch the drive, but it was pulled last min...
There's two parts to this conclusion. Firstly, if you own an MX200 generation of SSD, the MX300 will bring you right up to date in performance, technology and capacity, there's no question about it. The 3D NAND implementation and some of the high end feat...

In the end, our “predicament,” with getting a 2TB sample actually turned out to be a blessing as it allowed us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate just how well the newest MX300 SSDs stack up to the competition on their own and in RAID 0. With an abund...
