Write Performance Levels
Endurance Numbers (Compared To Its Immediate Competition)
High latency
High cost
Low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.
80MBps write performance when the amount of data exceeds the cache
Can't handle large data transfers well
Mixed performance overall
Not competitively priced
Given performance
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
And I was surprised by how easy it was for me to push the drive to its limits. I hope tha
Poor write performance once cache is full
Pricing not yet competitive enough to justify purchasing over other drives
As we've already mentioned in this review the BX200 is one of the first solid states to utilise the newly released Silicon Motion SM2256 Controller. This is also the first time Micron have used made use of a TLC-based solution.Throughout our testing of BX...
Good performance, Very cheap, Micron controller and NAND, 9.5mm adapter included, Acronis True HD code included,
Speed drops during long sequential operations (AIDA64), Neutral, TLC NAND has lower endurance than MLC but brings more capacity per real estate, “With Crucial’s BX200 SSD series there aren’t any excuse left to stay with traditional mechanical storage. Mak
It was more than a pleasure to have Crucial's new BX200 solid state drive on the test bench these last couple of days and it performed admirably. Granted, it isn't topping out any charts except one, and that is the price one. We have never before been abl...
Looking at build quality first the drive provides a good level of component. We know that Micron (Crucial) make great NAND and so are always happy to use their drives. The Silicon Motion controller used here is an evolution of the previous gen which has b...
The BX200 ships with a nice software package, and aggressive updates could help with performance.
High latency, high cost, low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.
Crucial's BX200 currently suffers too many issues to warrant a recommendation. Just for fun, we went back to the company's C300, the first SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drive to hit the market, as a comparison point. It surfaced in 2010 and obliterated the BX2...
Ultimately, buying an SSD is a question of how much you're willing to sacrifice to attain a lower price per gigabyte. With the BX200, you don't get advanced features like power loss protection or hardware accelerated encryption, and the performance limita...
GREAT READ PERFORMANCE FOR THE PRICE, BEST FOR TIGHT BUDGET REQUIREMENTS, EXTRA MIGRATION SOFTWARE IS A PLUS, 7mm ZHEIGHT CLEARANCE, CAPACITY RANGES AT 240, 480, & 960GB
WRITE BUFFER LIMIT IS DISAPPOINTING
Alright, let us start off with the performance of the drive, and try to understand this SSD's strong points and weakness. First and foremost, if you are looking for a drive that could be used to transfer or write 4GB of files and above on a daily basis, t...
Débits en écriture, Garantie de 3 ans (5 ans, voire plus chez certains concurrents)
La série BX200 est décevante : les débits sont en retrait de ceux proposés par la série précédente (BX100) et de ceux de la concurrence. Si le système de cache peut s'avérer pratique pour ceux qui n'ont pas de gros travaux d'écriture journaliers, il est t...
