Crucial BX100 or MX100

Hello everyone,

It's been quite a while since I last posted.
I'm in the market for a new SSD, to replace my OCZ (I know they're crap) Vertex 4 64gb boot drive.

I've been interested in the Crucial MX100 512gb ever since it was released. More than enough space for me and good pricing. My question is should I go with the MX100 512gb or the new BX100 500gb.

There's basically nothing in the prices and from what I can tell they both perform about the same.

MX100 512gb: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KFAGCUM/?tag=pcp0f-21

BX100 500gb: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RQA6M5Y/?tag=pcp0f-21

Please leave your thoughts below.

Thanks for reading,
Antony :)
 
The MX is slightly faster. The BX is supposed to be their budget line. I just ordered the 512GB MX100 myself, should be in my hands tomorrow.

I seriously doubt there is any real world performance difference.

I'll just go with the MX then, it's what I've been planning to get.
Thanks!
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it better to get ssds that have their capacity on the base 8, something about the controllers in them
 
I've got 4 256GB and 2 512GB versions of the mx100 and they are all excellent performers. None were DOA, they were all relatively consistent and havent missed a beat so far :) So I would recommend the mx100, especially if its cheaper.

I can't say I've heard that before, if someone could shed some more light on this that would be great!

That's good to hear! I'll definitely go with the MX then :)
 
Wont say good choice, as I dont have any experience with the BX100, however you wont regret getting the MX100. Great drive.
