July 26 2016 - 9:00AM
Key Messages:
Crucial, a leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades,
today announced additional capacities of the Crucial® MX300 solid
state drive (SSD). Built for speed and loaded with advanced
features, the new drives deliver an immediate increase to system
performance.
With read speeds up to 530 MB/s and write speeds up to 510
MB/s1 on all file types, the Crucial MX300 enables users to
boot up almost instantly, load programs with ease, and accelerate
demanding applications. The drive is engineered with Micron® 3D
NAND technology, resulting in an endurance rating of up to 220TB
total bytes written by leveraging larger NAND cells to deliver
top-notch performance and prolong endurance.
“Solid state drives are the computing powerhouses behind loading
and saving virtually everything we do on our computers. The MX300
is designed to put power back into the hands of users so they can
get more out of their system for years to come,” said Jonathan
Weech, senior worldwide product manager, Crucial.
The Crucial MX300 offers a host of comprehensive and
industry-leading features, including:
- AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption to keep personal and
confidential data secure
- RAIN technology for increased reliability by storing data in
multiple locations on the drive
- Exclusive Data Defense to prevent files from becoming
corrupted
- Adaptive Thermal Protection to keep systems cool
The Crucial MX300 is also over 90x more energy efficient than a
typical hard drive.2 Extreme Energy Efficiency technology
within the drive reduces the amount of active power usage that is
consumed and extends the laptop battery life by using only 0.075W
of power, compared to a typical hard drive which uses 6.8W.
Now available in 275GB, 525GB, 750GB and 1TB capacities, the
Crucial MX300 2.5-inch SSD has an MSRP of $69.99, $129.99, $189.99
and $259.99 respectively. The drive is supported by the Crucial®
Storage Executive tool, is backed by a limited three-year warranty,
