Sorry, just noticed it is MX300, not BX300, $8 difference for a little faster and less capacity(25GB).silja wrote: ↑ interesting, however did a search, looks higher end MX500 500GB is NOT on sale for $116, MX500 has 5 years warranty, comparing BX300 has 3 years, plus 20GB difference, MX500 will worth extra $12.

Wrong, the BX300 has the exact same chipset as the MX500 (both use the Silicon Motion SM2258), but has far superior 3D MLC to the low-end 3D TLC of the MX500. It's physics (Chipset A + 3D MLC > Chipset A + 3D TLC), the MX300 will last longer and is faster overall than the MX500. The TBW are exactly the same, which makes the 3 vs 5 year warranty comparison useless, as it's limited by the TBW.

Unfortunately, a lot of pro reviews do not pit the lower-end MX500 against higher-end MLC drives, and instead use TLC as their basis so as not to show them in a bad light, but a few offer up BX300 comparison results. Of these, the write speeds and write latencies (naturally) are much better on the MLC-based BX300 compared to the TLC-based MX500. Read speeds will be virtually the same across most SATA SSDs (most can exceed the SATA spec) and it's the write speeds that differentiate models.
Everything else is just marketing, and as Anand stated, if Crucial actually had a true TBW and warranty in line with the BX300, no one would buy any other model.
