High cost
Low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.

Poor write performance once cache is full
Pricing not yet competitive enough to justify purchasing over other drives
The Crucial BX200 is an entry-level drive that we had high hopes for coming into this review as we were really curious with how Crucial's first drive using their own 16nm TLC Flash would do. The BX200's software package was excellent, but once we started...

High latency, high cost, low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.

In today’s SSD market, there is very little to distinguish entry level drives from those which command higher price points. This is mostly due to the SATA 6Gbps interface being completely tapped out and as a result, manufacturers have struggled to differe...
If you are wanting a larger capacity SSD at an affordable price for everyday use, the Crucial BX200 series will serve you well. If you are wanting an SSD for performance, this won't be the drive for you. Instead, consider something like the Crucial MX200...
As viewed through the eyes of an enthusiast, Crucial's BX200 is not a very attractive option. It may be okay for gamers because it has excellent sequential read performance, but if you plan on transferring large chunks of data, or running moderate to he...
Abstract: Offering read/write speeds well over 10 times those of traditional hard drives, the recently-released Crucial BX200 SSD TLC flash-based solid-state drive is a first for Micron. The BX200, like its predecessor the BX100, firmly targets the budget-conscious...

Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were few...
