Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points belowTo sum up, this is what I would say-I have one major complaint about the drive, and that is the fact that it wasn't able to reach 90K in my 4K test. Others might also complain about the...

Sometimes a product appears which sells itself. The Crucial BX100 1TB SSD is one such product.With SSDs you often find the headline grabbing figures are the read speeds, sometimes they're the write speeds. With the Crucial BX100 the headline figures are a...

Abstract: Crucial and Micron have been hard and heavy in the SSD arena and since they are also a big player in the semiconductor business they have a good foundation for the storage media platform. We had a look at the MX100 drive back in June of '14 and we found t...

Let us not pretend otherwise; the results are in. For a $190 drive at press time, I think it is reasonable for us to be a little skeptical when Crucial claims the BX100 500GB is "over 15x faster", "over 2x more reliable", and "nearly 2x more energy effici...
In today’s SSD market, most of the key factors between drive series lie with their associated feature sets. True performance differentiation in real-world scenarios is hard to come by and it that fact which makes the BX100 so appealing. It isn’t a synthet...
