IOMeter IOPS Random Read and Write next. IOPS are important in demonstrating the capability of anything that processes inputs and outputs them really, but in this scenario, the general throughput capability is tested.

As a comparison, there is a generational jump in architectural capability demonstrated with the IOPS results, the MX300 has more latent power, or transfer capability than the MX200.

AIDA64 Engineer Disk Benchmark next, and the Read Suite shows the same jump in performance with the MX300 over the MX200. About 100Mbs across the Read tests including Random Read. We have the Write results, but we are going to put together a generational article on the MX series and include extra results there at some point.

The MX300 series promises faster speeds, bigger capacities and a long life, the latter point we cannot confirm, but the first two do seem to be right on the money. The Crucial MX300 Limited Edition 750Gb SSD as a release on its own is a good drive and we are happy to see performance and capacity on par with Crucial’s mainstream competitors. If this is a sign of things to come from Micron and Crucial, even if you are not a fan, it’s promising.
