There is only one thing that the Crucial BX200 is a lacking
And this is write performance. I am not talking about the synthetic benchmarks but the real world tests

Poor write performance once cache is full
Pricing not yet competitive enough to justify purchasing over other drives

We did set this up as a head-to-head matchup, so we're going to have to declare a winner. Though neither drive blew us away, the victory goes to the OCZ Trion 100. Both drives struggled to match the speeds of much older hardware (like Intel's X25-M) in s...

While not Crucial's fastest or most feature packed SSD, the BX200 is an easy and affordable way for consumers to improve the performance of their existing desktop or notebook computer. The BX200 combines Silicon Motion's SM2256 controller with Micron's ne...
It's not often we get a product that can be summarised so concisely as the Crucial BX200 960GB SSD.More often than not we're balancing price, performance and comparable products. Equally a lot of things, especially motherboards but other techs can have it...
Great software package, Good sequential read/write performance
Can't handle large data transfers well, Mixed performance overall, Not competitively priced, given performance
The BX200 is a passable upgrade over a spinning-platter hard drive, but it offers little to recommend it over its competitors, or its BX100 predecessor. Until the price falls, plenty of better (and better-performing) options are available. Read More…...
By introducing a TLC-based SSD, Crucial is offering exactly what it says: an affordable, entry-level SSD aimed at replacing your HDD. This means that do not expect an overall great performer.According to our tests, the BX200 960GB SSD faced some performan...
Good performance most of the time, Low retail price
80MBps write performance when the amount of data exceeds the cache
Though it's extremely affordable, the BX200 suffers the worst sustained write performance of any SSD we've ever tested. That said, day to day performance is quite good. But unless the price drops significantly, you'll get better overall bang for your buck...

Random and sequential write speeds both suffer, and sequential writes were hurt relatively more as compared with the BX100. Sequential read speeds were fine, and elsewhere things aren't quite bad enough to make it a one-legged stool. The most acute weakne...

With this product release we are seeing not only a reinforcement of an industry trend where companies are now focusing on lower cost SSDs to gain HDD market share, but also a clearer divergence between the mainstream and entry-level SSD contenders. Right...
Great price; currently the most inexpensive SSD line on the market, Decent performance during our server mixed-workloads, Low power consumption
Overall uneven performance
What the BX200 lacks in the performance, it makes up for it in both its price and power consumption, which allows for a perfect option for mainstream consumers looking to upgrade their HDD-based rig to solid-state drive technology...
