    Well done REP!

  • lostn on 04/06/2014 - 14:30

    This is cheap. Are they the budget range, ala 840 (which no one buys)?

    • iDroid on 04/06/2014 - 15:12

      I know nothing about these drives but they were 'featured' here ( http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/14/06/02/2215243/crucial-… ) a few days ago so they seem to be their latest offerings and by the description given they sound like they perform well (I'll let you SSD uber enthusiasts comment of their relative performance based on the numbers quoted there)

      these MX100 series of drives are still rated for 550MB/s sequential reads with 500MB/s (512GB), 330MB/s (256GB), or 150MB/s (128GB) and random read and write IOPS of 90K – 80K and 85K – 40K, respectively. The drives carry a 3-year warranty and are rated for 72TB total bytes written (TBW), which equates to 40GB written per day for 5 years. Performance-wise, these new lower cost SSDs, are on par with some of the fastest SSDs currently on the market but starting at $79.99 for the 128GB drive

    Oh wow. I was about the pull the trigger on a Sandisk Ultra Plus from MSY but this post has put me in a dilemma.

    I wanted to spend a little to get the 128 Sandisk to give some life back to my old computer. And it seems to have better performance against the 120 M500 being offered here.

    So the only choice would be to go 256 MX100 if I want to take this deal but from a review here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2014/06/02/crucial-… it seems that even the 512 MX100 is slower than the 256 sandisk in most things and equal in others, so we can expect slower performance from the 128 MX100 right?

    I realise this will be a huge step up from my current mechanical drive but I'd still like to get the best value. What do? Please help.

    • scrimshaw on 04/06/2014 - 14:40
      +10

      Even the slowest MX100 is still several times faster than a HDD. I wouldn't contemplate too long on what SSD to get based on reviews and benchmarks — if you want an SSD on a minimal budget, the MX100 is good enough.

    • salem on 04/06/2014 - 14:42

      are you going to be sitting in front of your computer with a stopwatch counting your bootup times in milliseconds? can your thumb control the stopwatch with enough consistency and accuracy to record the tiny difference in times between the different SSDs? If 'yes' to all, get a sandisk. Else, get the biggest SSD your budget allows.

    • striker5950 on 04/06/2014 - 14:49

      dude look at other reviews, the mx100 is faster..

          My family's first PC, an IBM XT-compatible, came with 10MB hard drive on MFM (hard drive interface before PATA). Still fits a few games as they usually come in in single 360kb floppies.

        • mxlegend99 on 04/06/2014 - 17:31

          Ahh the good old days, when you had to pray everytime you threw a disk in that it wasn't corrupt and wanting to be formatted.

          Zipping files across multiple disks to transfer them from one computer to another.

        • edgar28 on 04/06/2014 - 17:57

          floppy is not a hdd :(

        • kristo on 06/06/2014 - 00:43

          true, but before consumer hard drives became available to the masses, the 160kb and 320kb discs were colloquially called 'floppies' because they were very flexible and 'hard disks' were the cutting edge rigid ones, that held 720kb of data (an early 5mb hard disk cost $1500s+ and were bigger than many modern computers, hence not very popular).

      • Cheeper on 04/06/2014 - 19:10

        Remember ordering a new system once… opted for the massive 270mb hdd. They said, you will never use all that!!!! he he he

    • NotJustChickenDinner on 04/06/2014 - 16:21

      i think you mean 'in a nutshell'

      well it depends on the nutshell, if you are using the crucial ssd in a pistachio nutshell and the sandisk ssd in a Macadamia nutshell, then the crucial would come out on top as the the pistachio nutshell are easier to open and then use.

      if they were in a nutshell, they wouldn't work to well in a computer.

      • Ironman01 on 04/06/2014 - 16:24

        • hypocrisyinaction on 04/06/2014 - 17:20

    Which of the various SSD deals would stack up best for outright reliability, if that metric is known yet?
    As for speeds, I'm sure they will all seem amazing coming for a mechanical drive so not too concerned about that. I do tend to keep gear and find a use for it as long as possible so outright reliability is what I care about.

    AnandTech Review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8066/crucial-mx100-256gb-512gb…

    Conclusion from the review:

    "All in all, I have nothing negative to say about the MX100. With the performance and feature set, combined with pricing that basically doubles the amount of storage you get for your dollar, it's an absolute no-brainer. Unless you are an enthusiast or professional with a heavy IO workload, the MX100 is currently the drive with the best bang for the buck in the market by far."
