News Technische Daten der Crucial MX100 SSD

[Holt]

Aber wo liegt den von dem NAND mal abgesehen, für den Verbraucher der grosse Unterschied zwischen der 512 GB M550 un der MX100 mit 512 GB?

Je nach Test liegt mal die eine und mal die andere vorne, die NANDs sollte ähnlich lange halten (laut Micron) und preislich ist die MX100 vorne. Abgesehen von der 1TB Version, spricht wenig für die m550, außer man will eine kleine SSD (128GB / 256GB) die trotzdem eine hohe sequentielle Schreibrate bietet.

frankkl, Anandtechs Review ist viel besser, dessen Fazit kann man sich auch nur anschließen.

Given the success of the M500, Crucial had no reason to do a major overhaul with the MX100 and to be completely honest, there isn't really anything left to be desired. The performance and features are already present, so I really can't see how Crucial could make the MX100 significantly better. Sure the performance isn't record breaking but the MX100 isn't aimed at the enthusiast and professional segment where that is a concern.

My only criticism is towards the M550 and how it's positioned in the market. As I mentioned in the M550 review already, I don't really see where the drive fits in the market. It's not fast enough to compete in the enthusiast/professional space but on the other hand there is no reason for an average user to pay the premium for it, especially as the MX100 provides equivalent performance in nearly all scenarios. The 1TB M550 is the only model that makes sense but that is only because the MX100 tops out at 512GB; to be honest I would rather have a 1TB MX100 with the M550 being discontinued. I think the M550 as it currently stands doesn't really contribute anything to Crucial's SSD portfolio and all it does is cause confusion among potential buyers.
...
All in all, I have nothing negative to say about the MX100. With the performance and feature set, combined with pricing that basically doubles the amount of storage you get for your dollar, it's an absolute no-brainer. Unless you are an enthusiast or professional with a heavy IO workload, the MX100 is currently the drive with the best bang for the buck in the market by far.

So wie die Preise der MX100 sind, wird es schwer Argumente für eine andere SSD zu finden. Leider hat Anand die normale Idle Leistungsaufnahme nicht ermittelt, aber in den anderen Reviews lag sie immer noch deutlich über dem der 840 Evo, so dass diese für Notebookuser deren Notebook kein LPM unterstützt, ggf. eine Überlegung wert ist, zumindest solange Samsung deren Preise nicht deutlich senkt.
