Crucial is aiming to replace your HDD with their BX100 SSD. If you have been on the fence, the BX100 could be just what you have been waiting for. It's cheap, it's fast, and it's reliable. If you have never used an SSD, then be prepared because it's ever...
No AES 256bit hardware encryption, Lacks powerloss protection
Not the best performing SSD around, but not the worst either, the BX100 is a great choice for anyone who wants an affordable SSD....

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...
First of all the best middleclass SSD that you can use. Based on the performance and the good price the Sandisk Ultra II 480GB is the best choice. The Sandisk performs nearly as well as the fastest SATA600-drives in the test, but for a much lower price...

Have Crucial just beaten themselves at their own Game with an even cheaper entry than the MX200 to the budget SSD arena, in the form of the Crucial BX100 250GB ? The Crucial BX100 arrived at pcG within a small flip top box not much bigger than the SSD it...

Good read/write speeds, Great value, Designed using Micron Components, Available in 120/250/500GB & 1TB sizes
None found at time of review
The Crucial BX100 is not the fastest drive on the market, nor is it meant to be. While the BX100 is designed to give users some of the speed they crave, it is also meant to offer great value and a cheaper alternative to some competitors SSDs. Does it live...
