One of the oldest names in the flash business is Micron/Crucial and our own relationship with them goes way back to 2010.  Back then, we were one of the first to review their Crucial C300 RealSSD in a 64GB capacity, with lightning fast speeds of  357MB/s read and 76MB/s write, and a price of $139.99… for a 64GB SSD. We …

We couldn’t help but notice the excitement in the last day or so as Linus posted a rather detailed Crucial Gen 5 T700 NVMe SSD exclusive. Kudos for snagging that as well as the detailed SSD breakdown for those not familiar with SSDs. Something struck us a bit odd though and we are rather certain that we are walking the …

In September of 2020, we did a review on Crucial’s newly released X6 Portable SSD which had a great price point and decent capacity. Its performance was a bit lower than we had seen in the previous Crucial X8, the former providing current 1GB/s data transfer through USB 3.2 Gen 2 while the newer X6 maxed out at 540MB/s because …

It has been awhile now since the Crucial P1 NVMe has been released and, as guilty as I am, this SSD has sat on the shelf for some time.  It has gained some great reviews for its pricing and speed increase from a SATA drive; this SSD destined as truly a consumer marketed product.  My apologies ahead to Crucial as …

In December of 2017, we got to take a look at Crucial’s latest SATA SSD, the MX500. With a superb mix of performance, features, accessories, price, and warranty the MX500 earned our Top Value award with ease. There really wasn’t anything holding it back except for maybe one thing, availability. At the time of writing, only the 1TB 2.5″ form factor …

It hasn’t been a month since we posted our report on the Crucial MX500 consumer SATA SSD and we were discussing it, and the newest M.2 version of the MX500, at CES 2018 this week.  Looking back for a bit, we can safely say that Crucial/Micron is very comfortable with their newest 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory, and all …

It has been a year and a half since the release of the Crucial MX300 and that means it is time for an update. Unlike what we were expecting, we didn’t receive an MX400, but rather a Crucial MX500.
