Cheap? MX100

Sir,Can you tell me what are the differences between this cheap mx100 and the other more expensive ssd's.Will it protect my data and will it last as the other ssd's?Does it slow down by time or usage?

Not much. It's why it's so highly recommended. On things like the Pro versions of ssd's the write speed will be faster, basically matching the read speed but in the real world it's very difficult to tell. That advantage vanishes when you go to the MX100 512gb which is the bargain of the century currently. Maybe next year someone will dethrone it but so far nobody has come close on regular MSRP pricing.

More expensive SSDs might use better NAND flash (The storage part of the SSD) or a slightly better controller, but I don't think there's that  much of a difference, if you're on a budget anyway :)

Actually not true. The MX100 series uses a high quality Marvell controller, one of the best in the industry and Crucial's 16nm flash is cutting edge for MLC NAND. Besides the price there's not a bargain bone in the pkg. You can spend more but you're not going to get *that* much more.
