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.
For those who've read our previous review of the Crucial MX100 256GB , you can stop here. If you've read the performance results, the 512GB version of the MX100 is the same drive as the 256GB version except with better write performance and obviously more...

Although Crucial's MX100 didn't top our benchmarking charts it did perform well. The confusing aspect of the MX1oo to me is where to position it. The drive doesn't really market itself as a performance drive or an enthusiasts drive, but it doesn't marke...

It's hard not to recommend Crucial MX100 SSD series. We are receiving great performing SSD in a low price. What else we could ask for ?So all installation would be easier, Crucial is also adding Acronis True Image HD software and 7mm to 9.5mm spacer. Simp...
The Crucial MX100 is positioned by its manufacturer as a replacement for the Crucial M500 model which was released over a year ago. And this positioning makes it look just excellent. Thanks to the new 16nm MLC NAND flash memory and the cutting-edge Marvel...

The Crucial MX100 is available in three different variants: 128GB, 256GB and 512GB and is set to replace the previous M500 by using newer NAND on a lower lithography (Micron 16nm ONFi NAND). The read performance is very good but on the writes side it is b...
Priced lower than Samsung's excellent SSD 840 EVO, Very fast small-file writes, Performed well overall
Lagged a bit on our real-world file-copy test, Not available in 1TB capacity
An excellent mainstream SSD, the MX100 has a performance-for-price equation that tops today's field. For 256GB and higher capacities, this is the SSD most mainstream buyers should get. Read More…...

Awesome incompressible data performance, Great compressible performance, Incredible write speed, Very competitive price
Obviously, the MX100 is a great replacement for the M500, as it proved to offer the same - even a bit higher in some cases - performance, the same features at a lower the price by using smaller lithography NAND.But the basic advantage of the MX100 is its ...
