Crucial MX300 2TB SSD review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/14/2017 08:48 AM [ 9 comment(s) ]

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.

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.

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 :P 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 :D 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.

This is why I run a main SSD just for an OS because I have way to many games installed.
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.

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.
