Crucial BX300 480GB SSD review

Crucial released their new BX300 SSD series SSDs. These units are all about value for money. But it does not stop there as these puppies remain fast and very effective for the dough you lay down at that counter. We review the new 480GB model, the most price-competitive mainstream SSD with up-to high-end class SATA3 performance.

You have DDR3 listed as 256 for all of the models in your summary on the specs page. Nice review as always.

Samsung 850 models are still more expensive now than they were 1.5 years ago when I built this machine. Saying SSD prices are all the time developing in the good direction is not entirely correct, even if that was the obvious larger trend.
I wouldn't anymore run the OS, programs, and games from traditional HDDs. Some small indie game might still fly, but not the real stuff. So, if you need it, there's no choice, making "too expensive" not a valid point anymore.

Too expensive in comparision with hdd especially after all companies raised price on silicone products..

I bought my Crucial MX100 256Gb SSD in December 2014 for 102€. Considering you can get a Crucial MX300 275Gb SSD for the same price today, I don't see how it got more expensive.
I paid 0.40 cents per Gb then and I know you can get a 2Tb HDD for less than 0.05 cents per Gb, but the performance you get out of an SSD is mind blowing. After you used an SSD as a boot drive, you won't go back to HDD: trust me.
At the moment, you have to go SSD for boot and performance tasks. If you need space for your porn and other shit, then get them on your old hdd.

If I had the free money, I'd definitely be 100% SSD. I notice in games like Doom that stream a lot of textures, on my 7200 rpm 64mb cache 1tb HDD textures stream in a little late.

Nice review Hilbert. Hell I still have my first crucial SSD for 60gb. And it works!
