Well
It's still not as cheap as an HDD but you may have chosen the wrong hobby if $110 is too much to ask for a 256GB SSD.
Crucial offer this as a low cost but high performance and packed feature set SSD and we would agree. The price in the UK of the MX100 256Gb at the time of publication is as low as £80, putting it in amongst the 240Gb class for price. With Christmas on...
Well Priced, High Quality Components, Excellent Read and Write Speeds
The Crucial MX100 feels very much like the M550 that came before it. It also shares the M550's odd upside down design. What seems to be the top of the drive is actually the bottom The MX100 is a wonderful drive though and has the excellent finish and soli...
Abstract: There was a time when the idea of replacing a hard-disk drive with a solid-state drive was wishful thinking. Not because they were impossible to get, but because prices were through the roof. You had to pay a pretty penny for the ability to get better per...

The Crucial MX100 256GB solid state drive impressed in terms of its read performance. It is rated for 550MB/s while testing showed that it could get up over 540MB/s - and either value is impressive for a drive advertised as offering cost-effective mainstr...

As I said in the introduction of this review the MX100 effectively replaces the M500 solid state drive and it does a good job at doing so. Obviously the main goal with this drive was to make it competitive with a lower cost than other drives, but it also...
Crucial MX100 512GBThe most striking thing about the Crucial MX100 512GB is its price-tag of just US$210. At just $0.41/GB, it offers the best value on the SSD market today in the ~500GB capacity range (the 128GB and 256GB models are also priced similarly...

Abstract: It wasn't that long ago that even a 128GB SSD was considered to be out of the reach of the average user, such was the prohibitively expensive pricing. We all sat and dreamt of the possibility of SSD pricing one day lowering until we could afford ones that...

The 256GB MX100 finds the right balance of performance and price. Retailed at $120, the drive is quite affordable. Luckily you are not sacrifice much of the performance and storage capacity. Quite often with drives at this price range would offer subp...

Lower capacity drives have slower sequential write speeds than other SSDs in their class
While not the fastest SSD to come through the 'Labs, Crucial's MX100 delivers a lot of bang for your buck. The drive combines Marvell's 88SS9189 controller with Micron's new 16nm 128gb NAND to deliver a fast, responsive computing experience at a price tha...

Not available in 1TB capacity. Lagged a bit in real-world, file-copy testing
The Crucial MX100CS successfully breaks the 50 cents-per-gigabyte barrier and puts nicely sized solid-state drives (SSDs) within reach of mainstream users. With this drive, you'll spend much less time waiting for reboots and for apps to load....
