Crucial MX100 128GB sequential writes?

[Sharif]

Why is the sequential writes of this one mentioned at

Sequential Write: 150MB/s - Sequential Read: 550MB/s  (Amazon and its the same  on their site) 

 

While the 256gb one 

Sequential Write: 300/500MB/s - Sequential Read: 550MB/s (Amazon and its the same  on their site) 

 

 

Should i not buy that What's going on?

 

(Can't find any trustworthy benchmarks of the 128 gigs one)

It has too do with the flash chips and how many there are, It has too do with a lot, Just keep in mind as you move down in capacity the write performance in random and in sequential goes down, On any SSD (Apart from a few).

The read performance will stay the same (On most).

Also the MX100 is still an amazing SSD, I wouldn't worry about write performance as in most consumer work loads there is more reading than there is writing.

I have the 256GB one and it's around 330 write

The competitors have it balanced out

whats up with that?

My 256GB also get's between 320 and 330MB/s sequential, The MX100's get their rated speeds which I have to thank Crucial for not exagerating their rated speeds, They also have good performance consistency across many different setups.

Most of the higher end SSD's will have their performance stay mostly the same on all capacities, That is because they have more dies in their chips, The MX100 has a smaller 16nm manufacturing node but has the same amount of dies.

EDITED ^^^^

Most of the higher end SSD's will have their performance stay mostly the same on all capacities, a great example here is the 850 Pro, But that SSD is very advanced in it's flash and it's controller.

I meant Kingston and all

Because some companies like to lie a lot ...

These speeds are incorrect, for all the drives above (Apart from that older M500), look on their website they have the correct rated speeds there. People selling these drives copy and paste the speeds of the highest capacity SSD.

Also please... Do NOT... Buy the V300.

Thanks i will get the mx100

Is the intel 530 better? 

[UltraNeonGaming]

Thanks i will get the mx100

Is the intel 530 better? 

 

Any time 

And also, the MX100 is a lot faster than the 530, mainly in IOPS, so go for the MX100.

The main reason i like it is because it uses a MLC flash 

Does it beat up

PNY XLR8 and hyer x fury as well?

The MX100 is also MLC!! It uses new 16nm flash made by micron, It is higer endurance than the 840 Evo and doesn't have performance degradation issues with old data like the evo does.

And yes the MX100 is better than the hyperx fury SSD by quite a bit

I can't seem to find the specs for the 120GB XLR8, The same thing is happening where it is showing the speeds of the highest capacity one. EDIT: The MX100 is faster

You can't go wrong with the MX100

EDITED WITH MORE INFO^^^^^

Anyway thanks for all your help!!

The MX100 is an excellent SSD, I'm really pleased with mine. I'll post my benchmark (CrystalDiskMark) below:

Awesome

Thanks for the benchmark!

Oh, I though you were talking about some other SSD

Is this going to be your first SSD? If so, prepare your self for the performance boost!

Yup!

I will be bottlenecking it with my sata 2 on my mobo but still its going to a big upgrade from my HDDs

If it's on SATA rev 2 then expect quite a bit lower performance, What I recommend doing is buying a PCIe to SATA 3 adapter, they are really cheap and you will get the full SATA rev 3 performance of the SSD, Also are you getting the 128GB version and putting your OS on it? If so I suggest paying slightly more and getting the 256GB version, it's 2x faster in writes, and is 2x the capacity since 128GB get's filled up very fast, The 256GB doesn't cost that much more but is the best bang for your buck option.

I am on zapped budget 

i might invest in one in the future since its cheap 

Since i am getting a GPU and SSD together 

hopefully i get the SSD as well

Shit they sold out in 30 seconds.. I managed to order mine but not my friends
