In IOPS Random Write it’s more of the same for the Crucial MX300 1TB, and for that matter the BX200 and the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2. The nature of random tests means that it’s closer to a real world application than just a synthetic test.
Closer inspection of the results reveal it’s a closer second place than normal for the Crucial MX300 1TB behind the BX200. In reality, we do not think you will notice any real difference between the drives in everyday use.

The Crucial MX300 1TB conclusion is going to be a bit different. The performance is as marketed by Crucial and that makes it fast. It's right up there in terms of performance with any of the SSDs on test and even the Samsung M.2 drive in application tests. There is no disputing what it can do. The main stumbling point for most will be the price. However, this is going to be the Crucial MX300 1TB main strength. Crucial have priced this as by far the cheapest 1TB drive on the market. For some of their competitors it's almost 50% cheaper, which is astonishing.
