![]() It’s important to remember the SLC write buffer that this model comes with is best described as massive and that actually does cause a difference in some testing, regardless of what Crucial’s baseline specifications state. While a low cost per GB is always a good thing, costing adds up quickly when dealing with over 2 Terabytes of capacity. On paper, the MX300 2050GB is indeed worthy of its flagship status but a price of about $512USD does bring up the question of whether or not it could be considered a good value. ![]() It does however have significantly better NAND endurance due to its massive capacity. It is does all this while still keeping a highly reasonable asking price of 25 cents (USD) per GB.įrom a raw performance perspective, the MX300’s stats are remarkably consistent across the lineup and as a result the 2TB version doesn’t really offer faster speeds than its siblings. ![]() Not only does this high capacity version offer double the storage capacity of the recently MX300 1GB it also offers twice on the onboard RAM cache (1GB vs 512MB), and nearly double the pseudo-SLC write buffer of its nearest capacity neighbor. The 2TB version represents the pinnacle of Crucial's MX300 series as it takes everything that makes the smaller drives so impressive and turns the dial all the way to eleven. All of these are now offered in a handy M.2 format as well. However, the MX300 lineup has undergone a bit of change with the elimination of the original 750GB model and the addition of bookend products with new 275GB and 2TB offerings. ![]() Crucial’s MX300 series of SSDs are quite highly regarded around these parts and our reviews of the 512GB, 750GB and 1TB models back that observation up.
