It’s business as usual for Crucial, packaging includes a 9.5mm adapter and an Acronis serial key. The Acronis serial key is very handy when swapping a laptop drive for example.

With the drive opened, it’s a short PCB, most likely designed for the 2TB version to take up the rest of the space.

The MX300 series uses the Marvell 88SS1074 4-channel controller. This is a controller aimed at high-performance, low power SSD systems such as personal computers and enterprise applications.

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.
