Crucial MX300 2TB SSD review

Crucial recently released new versions of the MX300 SSD series, among them a huge 2 Terabyte model which we will review. The MX300 series should offer a bit more storage space yet remain more price-competitive at mainstream to high-end class SATA3 performance.

interesting read. thanks boss. i was keeping an eye on mx300 prices over black friday/cyber monday week; there were some great deals on the smaller 275 & 525gb models! i doubt the larger capacity drives will be discounted too steeply for the holidays...but one can hope. considering the odd (but very welcome) 25-50 extra gigs & the respectable performance, the entire product line is pretty reasonably priced already imo
if ya cant tell, im a fan of crucial/micron
the 850 evos from samsung are of course a little, or significantly faster - depending on the type of file access...but theyre more expensive. im keeping my eyes peeled for another sale on either in the upcoming week 
doubt ill spring for the 2tb tho

This would be the perfect SSD to store a big Steam library on.
I currently have a 2Tb 7200rpm drive holding all my Steam games and would love to switch them all over to a large capacity SSD like this.

Thanks for the great review.
I have 4TB Raid 0 for my steam games and running out of space and some of the games are a pain to load up fast.
I think a new build is in order with new Ryzen CPU,Board,Ram,Vega GPU and a four of these drives.
Oh well 5 grand for new system and fast SSD'S seems like a great way to waste some cash for gaming.

Great review as always! For anyone hungry for storage this might be the best choice. However for a large percentage of the users (me included), who have a Windows installation, 10-20gb of programs, and a few games, even 500gb is an overkill, so honestly I can't see how you will fill up a 2tb ssd.
This is why I run a main SSD just for an OS because I have way to many games installed.

I currently have a 2Tb 7200rpm drive holding all my Steam games and would love to switch them all over to a large capacity SSD like this.
I have a 1TB mechanical for all my steam games that don't need an SSD or play all the time. Then I have a 480GB SSD for my most played steam games and ones that need faster load times.
Then I have a 2TB mechanical for Uplay,GOG,Origin games and 512GB SSD for the same.
Id love to replaced both mechanical drives with 2TB SSD for each and this just may be the drive I get.
