Abstract: This week I was shopping for a solid state drive to replace a hard drive on one of my backup/archival systems and ended up settling for the Crucial MX300 in getting 525GB of storage for just $120 USD. Here are some benchmarks of the Crucial CT525MX300SSD1...
Small M.2 2280 form factor, Available in 275GB, 525GB and 1050GB capacities, Good sequential and random read and write performance, Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data, Large DRAM cache, Dynamic Write Acceleration, Data Defense
Write speed drops when SLC cache is full
Crucial's new MX300 M.2 SSD is a great choice for anyone looking to increase the performance and storage capacity of their mobile device. Like its 2.5-inch counterpart, the drive combines Marvell's 88SS1074B1 controller with Micron's new 3D TLC NAND to de...
Very good sequential-write speeds, Superb rated endurance, Affordable on a per-gigabyte basis
A bit slow in high-queue-depth tests, Warranty is one notch from the top
The 1TB version of the MX300 is a great all-around SSD with good-enough performance, advanced features, and solid software—at a very affordable price. Read More…...

Slower than some drives on the same price bracket, Write performance is weaker, Random read is a bit slower than planar NAND drives, Slower than some drives on the same price bracket, Write performance is weaker, Random read is a bit slower than planar NA
As the second manufacturer with 3D NAND SSD, Crucial MX300 certainly delivers respectable performance. We are glad to see that the MX300 has delivered a balanced performance across the board that we have not seen from the company's last couple of drives...
The Crucial MX300 drives have been out for a number of months now and the community feedback on them is very good. For example on Amazon it has a 4.6 our of 5 star rating on 136 verified purchase reviews. Our performance testing on the Crucial MX300 1TB...

220TB TDW endurance (120GB/day over 5 years), Acronis True Image HD license included, Good performance/price ratio
Performance levels may make upgrading from an existing SSD difficult
Our time with the Crucial MX300 has been what we would consider “tame”. While that may lead you to believe that we weren't impressed by the MX300, you would be wrong. The performance across the board has lived up to our expectations when we consider C...
Price, Solid mid-range performance, Spacer and Acronis True Image HD software activation key included, 256 AES encryption
Only a 3-year warranty
As I said when I first reviewed this drive Crucial's approach with this drive is the get higher capacity drives in the hands of more people. They are doing this by designing the MX300 to not be the fastest drive out there, but to be a great mid-level driv...
Although the Crucial MX300 is undoubtedly one of the most crucial launches for Micron, it definitely wasn't an easy one. We first heard of the Crucial MX300 back in April when Crucial was originally planning to launch the drive, but it was pulled last min...
There's two parts to this conclusion. Firstly, if you own an MX200 generation of SSD, the MX300 will bring you right up to date in performance, technology and capacity, there's no question about it. The 3D NAND implementation and some of the high end feat...
