Instantly improve system performance

The Crucial MX300 reaches read speeds up to 530 MB/s and write speeds up to 510 MB/s¹on all file types so you can boot up almost instantly, reduce load times, and accelerate demanding applications with ease. Plus, our Dynamic Write Acceleration technology uses an adaptable pool of high-speed, single-level cell flash memory to generate blistering speeds throughout the drive's long life.

Over 90x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive2

Extreme Energy Efficiency technology within the Crucial MX300 reduces the amount of active power usage that's consumed by the drive. The Crucial MX300 extends your laptop's battery life by using only 0.075W of power, compared to a typical hard drive which uses 6.8W.

Entrust your files to a drive that lasts

With an endurance rating of up to 220TB total bytes written, the Crucial MX300 is engineered with Micron 3D NAND to deliver years of fast performance. The 3D NAND leverages larger NAND cells to improve performance and prolong endurance.

Keep your system cool

In addition to lower active power usage, Adaptive Thermal Protection technology dynamically adjusts storage component activity. This helps keep your system cool and minimizes the risk of damage caused by overheating.

Boost drive performance by up to 10x with Crucial Storage Executive3

Specifications

 More Information

Form Factor/Type- The physical size of the hardware components in your system. For example, the form factor for an SSD might be 2.5 inches or 1.8 inches, which tells you the dimensions of the SSD.

Interface- An interface is the means by which two independent systems communicate. For SSDs, the interface refers to a connector that plugs your SSD into your computer so it can receive power or data.

Read- In computer terms, a "read" refers to accessing a piece of data from a storage device or memory.

SATA- Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. It's a type of interface that connects a storage device or optical drive to your computer's motherboardthink of it like an umbilical cord because it allows data to flow between the two. SATA is measured by how fast data transfers to/from the device. There are three SATA speeds, SATA I (1.5Gb/s), SATA II (3.0Gb/s) and SATA III (6.0Gb/s).

Write- In computer terms, "write" refers to how quickly a piece of data can be saved to a storage device (saving a document is an example of a write function)
