It's an SSD and it works. Thats all I wanted, so I'm happy.

The hard drives in my Samsung laptop crash on me(once from a drop and the other randomly happened) within a year. I made the change to this SSD and once I got Windows 10 loaded I immediately noticed how much quieter and cooler my laptop became and how quickly Windows loaded.

While the MX300 series cannot be located in an enthusiast class SSD series based solely on write performance, we also have to acknowledge that its lower write performance is incredibly relative. Would you really notice the difference in-between 400 and 500 MB/sec writes?

Just like the 750GB limited edition model the 525GB variant of the MX300 line of SSDs performed very well and although it couldn't keep up with its higher capacity brother (we will also test one of the even higher models to check and see how those do) we really have no complaints.

- Not As Fast As The 850 EVO (For Some

Shopping for a SSD can be a little confusing. For instance do you focus on storage capacity and price or do you look at performance and pick the best one. For the most part performance will be similar across all of the drives you can buy with only subtle differences between the control and chip...

Great Performance; SATA 6 Compliant; 3D NAND; Available in Sizes up to 2TB; More Storage Less Cost; Included Imaging Software

No M.2 version; yet

The MX300 SSD series offers several, somewhat different, capacities with the 2050GB being the highest. Like all of the drives in the series, the 2050GB comes with Adaptive Thermal Protection to help keep the drive cool and protects data with both AES 256-bit encryptions and RAIN technology.

2TB of capacity for a good price; Adaptive Thermal Protection; AES 256-it encryption

Samsung 850 EVO 2TB; Samsung EVO 4TB; Crucial MX300 1050GB; 2TB of capacity for a good price; Adaptive Thermal Protection; AES 256-it encryption; Not a strong performer in any of our tests

The MX300 750GB solid state drive is a very impressive unit in terms of performance and the sweet spot it seems to have found in terms of price and capacity. The read and write speeds may not be the fastest possible, but 530MB/s and 510 MB/s, respectively, are definitely very respectable.

Fast read and write speeds; Great value; Included software makes swapping to a new drive easy; 3 year warranty

Nothing yet

Today we've got the Crucial MX300 750GB SSD on the old BCCHardware test bench. The MX300 series of SSD drives from Crucial are their top-tier drives and offer more performance than the previous MX200 series of drives.

If you don't own an SSD by now, you really should. Nothing is quite as satisfying as seeing Windows boot up in mere seconds, versus the half a minute or more it sometimes takes with traditional hard disk drives.

Great overall price; low cost per gig; solid performance

None

While Sata 6Gbps may have a 550MB/s bottleneck, such performance is more than adequate for a vast majority of users wanting a slice of the SSD cake. In recent times the cost per GB of Sata-based SSDs has plummeted meaning there has never been a better time to move away from aging mechanical storage.

+ Slightly faster than smaller capacity MX300; + Consistently good results; + Great value high capacity drive; + Features dynamic write acceleration; + Acronis True Image bundled with drive; + 3 years' warranty
