CrystalDiskMarkx64 Sequential Read results first and we set the bench to run three times with nine passes each, we then took the highest results for the charts.
The MX300 1TB is strong in all tests, only the BX200 with its Sequential Read of 540MB/s really gets ahead of it. The Limited Edition MX300 750Gb is up there too with both MX300 drives living up to Crucial’s Sequential reads up to 530MB/s claim. We’ll ignore the Samsung SM951 512GB M.2 due to the M.2 interface, we’ve kept it in for reference.

The Crucial MX300 1TB conclusion is going to be a bit different. The performance is as marketed by Crucial and that makes it fast. It's right up there in terms of performance with any of the SSDs on test and even the Samsung M.2 drive in application tests.There is no disputing what it can do. The main stumbling point for most will be the price. However, this is going to be the Crucial MX300 1TB main strength. Crucial have priced this as by far the cheapest 1TB drive on the market. For some of their competitors it's almost 50% cheaper, which is astonishing.
