Do any of you know what the buffer size is on this thing?

Or do you have any idea on have to find out?

and last question, what would you rather pick, this one or Samsung Evo 850?

Not sure about the buffer size but this ought to help with the VS decision:

http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Evo-250GB-vs-Crucial-MX300-275GB/2977vs3642

 

The MX200 has a buffer size of 1048576 KB according to a listing on eBay.

 

EDIT: It has a buffer size of 128 MB if this ebay listing is to be believed. Not the exact same drive but the closest I see so far.

No clue on the buffer size.

 

When it comes to performance, easily the 850 EVO. But the MX300 crushes it in terms of price/performance.

The 750GB version has 512MB of DRAM. Presumably the 275GB version would have 128MB or 256MB. Probably the latter, but I can't seem to confirm it anywhere.

yes MX300 is cheaper but the samsung has 5 year warranty. there is a samsung with 3 year warranty that is cheaper; i don't know how much cheaper; when I saw only samsung and intel providing 5 year warranties i developed tunnel vision for their products

You must be referring to the Samsung 750 EVO which uses cheap planar TLC memory... meaning it lacks durability/reliability and therefore, the Crucial remains a better choice. I usually see the 750 EVO go for $70, which at that point, you're paying for the Samsung branding. And as we all now, buying by brand is a not-so-smart strategy.

Hey there

 

Could you provide us with some more details such as what will you be using the drive for? 

Contacting the manufacturer or checking out the spec sheet may give you this information.

Checking out reviews on popular websites as well as benchmark articles can also provide you with such information and other technical data regarding a drive. 

 

For regular home usage the "buffer size" affects the performance very little as the SSD already uses memory that's quite fast in order to store the data.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!
