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

You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
