Cost/GB could be better on 128GB model
Significant write speed reductions on capacities <512GB
Lagged a bit on our real-world file-copy test
Not available in 1TB capacity
New 16nm cell technology still unproven

Largest capacity available is 512 GB
None that I found
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.
Competitive pricing, Great support and reliability, Enterprise-grade data protection, Good performance in our gaming and sequential profiles
Sub-par performance in our write-heavy Consumer Real-World tests

Our first rating is performance, which compares how effective the Crucial MX100 SSD performs in benchmark operations against competing SATA-based solid state drive storage solutions. For reference, Micron specifications suggest 550 MB/s maximum reads an...

7mm low profile fits most laptops, Highly compatible, 3 year warranty, Bundled migration software, Great price:performance ratio, ,
Performed slightly less than the manufacturer claims, At the end of the day, this drive is pretty solid and at the price it is online at the moment, it's a great deal. Go get one - or two. We give this a solid 9/10 and it sneaks in to win our "Gold Wrenc
It's been a while since I tested an SSD and after using mechanical drives in some of my systems for the past few months, the difference was incredible. The MX100 is Crucial's answer to performance at a price that makes an SSD afforable. This drive has an...

In the technology world, innovation can come in two ways: One is to push the performance envelope regardless of price, while the other is to drive down the price at the expense of performance. Of course, we usually do not see items on the extreme ends of ...
So here we are at the end of this review knowing full well how other the press and users have been falling over themselves in an effort to heap praised upon Crucial’s MX100. In many ways this adoration is certainly well deserved considering the MX100 512G...
Abstract: While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...
Affordable, Good allround performance, Acronis True HD is a nice bonus
Doesn't quite beat the topend SSDs on the market, No 1TB version available, SSD lifespan good, but again, not the best around
We liked The Crucial MX100 is brilliant value for money, with a lower RRP than the majority of other SSDs. It's fast in all tests we ran on it, and it has every feature you might want. The drive endurance may not be market-leading, but it's far from poor....
Blistering read speeds, Excellent value for money,
Slower write speeds than other SSDs,
The Crucial MX100 is fantastic for an entry level solid state drive. It's not quite as fast as some drives, but if you're upgrading from a standard hard drive, the MX100 will provide you with a massive leap in performance at a more than reasonable price....
Crucial's MX100 gives you the lion's share of the responsiveness and transfer rate improvements of the best SSDs on the market, with only a small sting of the accompanying price tag. Even with the higher overall price per gigabyte of SSDs versus tradition...
