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

  • According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...

  • Benchmarking SSDs these days, especially SATA-based ones, is mainly a means for checking for major flaws rather than delving into minute comparisons. It's been the case for some time now that virtually all modern SSDs are suitable for your average home us...

  • High capacity, Good price, Decent performance, Plenty of features
  • Still expensive, Not the fastest SSD, SATA 3 connection showing its age
  • If you're looking for a large capacity solid state drive that doesn't break the bank, then the Crucial MX300 1050GB is definitely worth considering, offering plenty of features and decent performance...

  • Slightly faster than smaller capacity MX300
  • None!
  • After already reviewing the 750GB Edition of the MX300 SSD we had first-hand experience with Micron's own rendition with 3D NAND. Overall, we were pleased with the transfer rates and performance from Crucial's MX300, but what about the sizable 2TB edition...

  • Huge capacity, Data security
  • Not cheap, Warranty is only 3 years
  • It's good to see that Micron have got their 3D TLC NAND production up to a level where the MX300 is now a fully-fledged product line rather than a single isolated Special Edition drive. The flagship 2TB drive is another indicator, should anybody still nee...

  • I was already quite impressed with the Crucial MX300 when I had a look at the 750GB model at release time and that hasn't changed one bit through the look at the 2TB model today. It is an awesome drive the combines the best of two worlds into one drive -...
