We have had the Crucial MX500 250GB for a few months now and so it's about time we got round to reviewing it. Crucial sent this over to us a while ago and ever since we have been running the MX500 250GB SSD for a long period of time, allowing us to understand its day to day performance, and by the performance, we don't just mean test results. We have used it as an external drive, a spare drive, and OS drive and it's currently installed in a doc as a MacOS Time Machine back up drive.

Last year, Hardwareslave went out to test the cheapest M.2 SSD 240Gb drive there was, no matter who made it, or what it was. We stumbled on the DREVO D1 M.2 2280 240GB Internal SSD, at the time it was the cheapest we could find in M.2 Form Factor. We purchased it for £64.99, a bargain we thought, but our tests would show if it was a bad purchase or not.

We’ve reviewed most of Crucial's SSD product line over the years and it’s given us some good insight into their market placement and development. We have recently reviewed the MX300 1Tb SSD, effectively the third generation of their MX series, and it gave a good score and representation of Crucial. Now we are on to the third generation of the BX series, the BX300, which was released recently.

Any rig worth it’s salt will have some fast DDR3 installed but MHz is not the only key to a good performer. Timings and compatibility and reliability matter more to the end user than speed. There is no point in some DIMM modules that cause system crashes but is ultra-fast, but slow and solid memory is not desirable either. The only alternative, despite how obvious it sounds is fast and reliable memory.

DDR4 has been with us for some time now and manufacturers are starting to produce mainstream and branded products. With only one chipset supporting DDR4, the Intel X99, it is still an exclusive market for DDR4, but that should all change soon.

DDR3 memory modules you can choose plenty from, the cheap but dull all green Kingston Value memory for example works absolutely fine. Then the regular mainstream DIMMs, then step it up a little and say high-frequency memory is a hint...

GeIL wants to be the first manufacturer touting the term “hexa-channel” (6-channel) DDR3 memory. While machine architectures using 6-channels (384-bit wide) memory interfaces don’t exist, dual-Nehalem Xeon machines use two triple-channel memory arrays. It’s a play of the word “6-channels”...
