On to AIDA64 Engineer next and we run the Disk Benchmark Read Suite of tests. We have left out the response time, though for details sake it was 0.03ms, which is imperceptible.

The Read performance is between 501.4MB/s and 503.8MB/s, again is placed behind the BX200 and the lightning M.2 Samsung drive. It’s solid because it’s consistent and still fast. Again, we use charts to describe the benchmark results. These use colours that can often be similar or even different shades of each colour. If this becomes hard to read, you can click on any of the review samples on the chart to remove it, or add it back in.

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.
