CONCLUSION

   When Crucial announced the MX100 they promised a very good price/performance ratio which they really delivered so when we received the MX200 we hoped it'd turn out to be just as good and why not even better. Now Crucial did use the same NAND flash controller by Marvell and the same 16nm flash modules by Micron for both the MX100 and the MX200 but the second not only features an updated firmware for the controller but it also features their latest Dynamic Write Acceleration technology which clearly does make a difference in write performance. Are the MX100 and MX200 worlds apart? Certainly not and you can easily tell that just my looking at our charts. Still the MX200 is better and although we'd hoped for a higher capacity model (we may get one later on) to have a better idea on what this line is capable of the 250GB model surpassed our expectations.

   With all the new SSD models in the market price plays a much more important role than it did several years ago so we were quite curious to see what policy Crucial followed with the MX200 line. Luckily as we speak the 2.5" version of the MX200 250GB retails for just USD119.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 132Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) and although competition is very hard at around that price point still we feel Crucial is doing a great job. Of course the MX200 doesn't represent the best SSDs (durability/performance) in the market but it does very well in terms of performance, comes with many features (features we didn't find with the BX100) and is priced right that's why we're giving it our Platinum Award.
