Each of the drives brings something new to the table. With the BX100 it's the Silicon Motion controller, the first time that this controller has been used in a Crucial device. Despite what Crucial says, it performs pretty well for a drive labelled as a bu...
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 by na...
Rapid read performance, Affordable price, 120GB version available
Mediocre write speeds, No caching or high-end encryption features, No alternative form factors
Crucial's BX100 doesn't include the high-end features of other drives, but it delivers decent performance at a tempting price – especially when its impressive file reading pace is considered. Those results make it a better bet than the older MX100, but i...
Good value, Available in 1TB capacity, Solid performance, 3-year warranty
Endurance not brilliant
Crucial has designed the BX100 SSD to hit an enviable price point for entry-level drives. The 500GB model retails for £160 and offers solid performance in all of our tests.There are faster drives out there, not that you'd notice in a typical desktop e...
Great performance, Low price, Steady performance, 9.5mm adapter included,

The Crucial BX100 1TB model performed just as great as the previously tested 500GB model. We saw a good performance over all of our tests, with both compressible and incompressible data, no matter how much data was on the drive. Throughout the review, we...
The 1TB Crucial BX100 offers the buyer tremendous value for money in comparison to other 1TB SSDs on the market, a rarity as far as Solid State Drive prices go. Costing around the £280 mark it is however still very expensive at £0.28 per GB compared to th...
Starting with the build quality of the BX100 we have a series of drives which arrive with nice metal casing which feels solid. Inside Crucial have stuck with their own Micron parts for cache and NAND which is ideal and the controller used here is fairly w...
Abstract: Crucial introduced their new BX100 and MX200 SSDs during CES. The BX100 is a new budget series which is priced even lower than the extremely popular MX100 series. The MX200 series, on the other hand, has clearly been developed by Crucial to take on Sams...
