Item as described. Good performance.

I used this in a new machine, so I can't compare its performance to anything else, but it's definitely very fast. It's cheap enough that there's no reason to save ($) and get a worse drive. Buy this one.

Today, CDRLabs brings you a review of Crucial's new MX300 M.2 SSD. Designed for tablets and ultrabooks, this new addition to the MX300 line isn't much larger than a stick of gum. The drive is powered by Marvell's 88SS1074B1 controller and is available with up to 1050GB of Micron's 3D TLC NAND.

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 and RAIN technologies; AES 256-bit full disk...

Write speed drops when SLC cache is full

At the time of writing, Crucial's MX300 M.2 2280 SSD with 525GB can be yours for $124.99 at NewEgg , ￡122.99 at Scan Computers , and €117.18 through Geizhals . Crucial once again convinced me with one of their SSDs.

Steady performance across all scenarios; Up to 1TB capacity in M.2 2280 form factor; Low price; Momentum Cache function; Bundled with Cloning Software; Features everything from DevSleep to power loss protection

This drive has been an absolute delight. So much so, that I purchased 1) a Sata PCI card (to add Sata connections) 2) an adapter to add two M.2 2280 connectors and 3) TWO MORE 275GB Crucial SSDs. Yes, my machine will soon have three SSD's and no more mechanical drives. I recommend this product!

They included two tiny screws for mounting to the board

None so far

I had SSD drive professionally installed by an independent computer/IT into my 2010 27inch Quad core i7 iMac. They informed me that it will fit in behind the optical drive (without losing the optical drive). Now I have a 1TB start up disk and 1TB storage drive.

Feels Responsive; Speed

Does a very good job when you have professionals install and transfer the data. everything was where it was previously and operates much faster with a lot less to wear out

We already had a chance to review Crucial MX300 SSD but not in M.2 version and not so high capacity. It's time to present you Crucial MX300 M.2 1050GB SSD which is designed for new

This is a well priced item. Easy to install, and super quick. Splendid

After adding more DRAM to my 2012 desktop tower, I replaced the old 7200 rpm 1TB HDD drive with the Crucial 1TB SSD. The Acronis cloning software made it very easy. This SSD is incredibly fast upon start up, installing software, opening apps, scanning files, etc.

Affordable; Blazing Fast; Dependable; Quiet
