Crucial MX100 (256GB & 512GB) Review
by Kristian Vättö on June 2, 2014 3:00 PM ESTPerformance vs. Transfer Size
ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. Performance scaling appears to be identical to M550, which is a healthy upgrade from the M500 but still falls behind the 840 EVO in read performance.

Space will be the same, they're just advertised differently. But the Crucial idles at much lower power than the Seagate, so I'd consider switching to save battery life.tobho - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Some serious question over here: is this drive a real competitor to the Sammys Evo or even Pro SSDs? I was planning on buying the 256Pro but the Crucial seems to perform better in a lot of tasks. I cannot really differentiate much but the price: 256Pro = 512MX100hojnikb - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Just get MX100. For the price, its a steal..rvb3n - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Hi, can someone give me a suggestion for a pro SSD for a laptop with about 500 GB? Is the Samsung 840 Pro still the king (price/performance)?blackrain - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Looking forward to the Bench being updated with the Crucial MX100 line:http://www.anandtech.com/bench/SSD/65

I wonder how my Samsung 830 128GB compares to the MX100 128GB? Again, looking forward to the Bench being updated with the MX100 line.Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - link
They were there, but just hidden so we wouldn't break NDA. Should be visible now :)rahuldesai1987 - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
A 256Gbit die should enable a $300 1TB and $600 2TB drive, 6 months down the line. Hope we see a TLC Samsung 850EVO soon, at even cheaper prices.sequoia464 - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
Killer prices on these already,, picked up a 256 GB drive this morning for ~$90 delivered.Oyster - Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - link
For those that are interested, looks like these are on a fire sale.512GB $200, 256GB $100, 128GB $70 AC
