If you're looking for the best bang for your buck, Crucial's new BX100 SSD just might be it. The drive combines Silicon Motion's SM2246EN controller with Micron's 16nm 128gb NAND to deliver a fast, responsive computing experience at an affordable price. I...

The MX100 was a revolutionary product in many ways. It was the first drive to move to sub-19nm NAND, which brought cost savings along with it. The combination of price and performance made the MX100 arguably one of the most cost efficient drives on the ma...

Abstract: Crucial has been a primary driving force of SSD technology since the early days, and for good reason: the company is owned by Micron, which together with Intel created IM Flash Technologies to produce NAND flash memory.As one of the top five semiconduct...
Encryption hasn't taken off for consumers and we've found that price often matters more than advanced features or even the best performance available. First and foremost users want reliability, then low price and finally acceptable performance. SSDs b...
When it comes to outright performance I was pleasantly surprised with the Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller. It kept up with many of the higher-performance drives we have tested in terms of read performance. Of course you do have that slower write speed,...

Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the 500GB Crucial BX100 SSD performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Micron specifications suggest 535 MB/s maximum re...
Since I've already had the opportunity to test Silicon Motion SM2246EN based SSDs in the past, I had some idea of the type of performance to expect. While Crucial does make some minor tweaks to the firmware, performance isn't much different from what we'v...
Low price per gigabyte, Good performance for a budget drive, Available in capacities up to 1TB
Slower in some tests than previous (and still available) MX100, No bundled software
Crucial's latest low-end SSD holds the company's place with, again, one of best budget drives available. At its debut pricing, it's not quite the stunning value its predecessor was, but it's still a strong buy. Read More…...

Lack Of Features,
As you can all easily tell from our charts the BX100 250GB may not be amongst the fastest SSDs we've ever tested but on one hand Crucial never ment it to be (the MX200 line is aimed at that and our review is just a few days away) while on...
