Hey /g/. Was wondering what you guys think of the new Crucial MX300 series of SSDs. They're based on Micron 3D TLC nan. Apparently the 3D nan is only really employed by Samsung before this.
Looking to get a 4th ssd and currently only have Samsung stuff in my main PC. My only experience with crucial is their MX100 line that I have in my laptop.
Looking at the MX300 however shows it is right behind the 850 EVO is pretty much every benchmark and after checking my local Microcenter prices, much cheaper. The 525GB mx300 is only $117 compared to the $180 for the 500GB 850 EVO. The 750GB mx300 is $160. I'm really leaning towards the Crucial 750GB simply because of basic price: performance:capacity and was just looking for input before making the plunge.

Would appreciate the input guys.

Hmm. Unhelpful in regards to the MX300 line. But good thinking. I usually recommend crucial for budget minded. Samsung if price isn't a problem.

We are nearing a point where any SSD from a reputable brand is going to be OK.
Im not sure when people forgot about crucial, but they have been decent since SSDs became mainstays

I figured this pretty much. I mean before Samsung became the top dog in consumer performance SSDs, their prices were a lot more competitive. Used to only be $10-$15 max above the others. Now they're $60+ more. As much as I like my Samsung SSDs, I might give this crucial lone a go. Their 525GB seems too good to pass up. Was hoping to get feedback from someone who already has the MX300 line or in depth experience with crucial as a whole.

Ive been using the MX200 for a year now, i think one of their lines, BX200 or something, was crap, but the rest of their stuff is good, i think. In any case, i didnt notice a speed difference between it and the EVO I had before.

I got the 750GB sitting in a box, haven't plugged it into the computer yet.
Be aware that Crucial can and does fuck up. See BX100 vs BX200.

If it uses TLC, it won't last as long as more expensive SSDs.
