Crucial BX300 Review

For Saints Row 3 (labelled ‘SR3’ in the chart) we have recorded the load time from a specific save game. The game was saved just at the end of the ‘Shaundi saved’ version of “Three Way Ending” but before the cut scene. This was chosen as the game not only loads the Three Way Ending data but also the next level “Gangsta’s in Space” DLC level.

When it comes to read centric scenarios like games just about any modern SATA based solid-state drive is going to be good but not a great option – and the BX300 is no exception. It posts good numbers but NVMe is the place to be for enthusiasts. In other words, and just like VMWare users, RAID should be seriously considered if you want the lowest game load times possible without going the NVMe route.
