crucial mx300 750gbb

   Like we already mentioned in the intro page the MX300 line is a direct competitor to the 850 EVO line by Samsung and after running all our tests we have the first getting in front of the second in only 2 out of 10. Since these two models however are very similar in terms of features (although the MX300 comes with a higher write endurance number) the difference they have in read/write performance should not be enough to discourage potential buyers if the price Crucial asks for their latest SSD is right. Also we need to take into account that the MX300 is faster than many TLC based models out there and that we should also see some performance gains with new firmware updates as production increases.


   We are just 2 days from entering August 2016 and at this exact moment in time the MX300 750GB Limited Edition SSD will set you back USD184.97 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 179Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). This price tag places the MX300 750GB Limited Edition roughly 25-30% over the 850 EVO 500GB and 45-55% beneath the 850 EVO 1TB so we think that Crucial has the price just about figured out. All said and done the Crucial MX300 750GB Limited Edition SSD may not be as fast as its direct competitor the Samsung 850 EVO but it’s more durable (220TB vs 150TB TBW), shares the same features, is faster than most TLC based models out there and is priced right which is why it gets our Golden Award.
