Read Bandwidth

For this benchmark, HD Tune Pro was used. It shows the potential read speed which you are likely to experience with these storage devices. We don’t put much stock in Burst speed readings and thus we no longer included it. The most important number is the Average Speed number. This number will tell you what to expect from a given drive in normal, day to day operations. The higher the average the faster your entire system will seem.

Write Performance

For this benchmark HD Tune Pro was used. To run the write benchmark on a drive, you must first remove all partitions from that drive and then and only then will it allow you to run this test. Unlike some other benchmarking utilities the HD Tune Pro writes across the full area of the drive, thus it easily shows any weakness a drive may have.

Crucial BX300 Review 11

The sequential read performance of this drive is really rather good, but thanks to the use of MLC and not TLC its write performance is outstanding. While yes performance does drop once the pseudo-SLC write buffer is filled it does not drop anywhere near as much as what a MX300 275GB or 525GB does. To us this makes the BX300 perfect for people who routinely transfer large amounts of data from one drive to another.
