It's not often we get a product that can be summarised so concisely as the Crucial BX200 960GB SSD.More often than not we're balancing price, performance and comparable products. Equally a lot of things, especially motherboards but other techs can have it...
Great software package, Good sequential read/write performance
Can't handle large data transfers well, Mixed performance overall, Not competitively priced, given performance
The BX200 is a passable upgrade over a spinning-platter hard drive, but it offers little to recommend it over its competitors, or its BX100 predecessor. Until the price falls, plenty of better (and better-performing) options are available. Read More…...
By introducing a TLC-based SSD, Crucial is offering exactly what it says: an affordable, entry-level SSD aimed at replacing your HDD. This means that do not expect an overall great performer.According to our tests, the BX200 960GB SSD faced some performan...
Good performance most of the time, Low retail price
80MBps write performance when the amount of data exceeds the cache
Though it's extremely affordable, the BX200 suffers the worst sustained write performance of any SSD we've ever tested. That said, day to day performance is quite good. But unless the price drops significantly, you'll get better overall bang for your buck...

Random and sequential write speeds both suffer, and sequential writes were hurt relatively more as compared with the BX100. Sequential read speeds were fine, and elsewhere things aren't quite bad enough to make it a one-legged stool. The most acute weakne...

With this product release we are seeing not only a reinforcement of an industry trend where companies are now focusing on lower cost SSDs to gain HDD market share, but also a clearer divergence between the mainstream and entry-level SSD contenders. Right...
Great price; currently the most inexpensive SSD line on the market, Decent performance during our server mixed-workloads, Low power consumption
Overall uneven performance
What the BX200 lacks in the performance, it makes up for it in both its price and power consumption, which allows for a perfect option for mainstream consumers looking to upgrade their HDD-based rig to solid-state drive technology...
The Crucial BX200 is an entry-level drive that we had high hopes for coming into this review as we were really curious with how Crucial's first drive using their own 16nm TLC Flash would do. The BX200's software package was excellent, but once we started...

The BX200 ships with a nice software package, and aggressive updates could help with performance.
High latency, high cost, low throughput performance and sequential write performance that is half of a modern mechanical drive.
Crucial's BX200 currently suffers too many issues to warrant a recommendation. Just for fun, we went back to the company's C300, the first SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drive to hit the market, as a comparison point. It surfaced in 2010 and obliterated the BX2...
If you are wanting a larger capacity SSD at an affordable price for everyday use, the Crucial BX200 series will serve you well. If you are wanting an SSD for performance, this won't be the drive for you. Instead, consider something like the Crucial MX200...
