Review on πŸ’Ύ Crucial MX300 750GB SATA 2.5" Internal SSD - CT750MX300SSD1 by Prince Aguirre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Causes occasional I/O hangs - OS hangs for 10-15 seconds - otherwise a decent drive.

I bought two of these drives on Black Friday and have encountered the same new problem on both computers I put them in. From time to time (it seems random) the computer freezes completely for 10-15 seconds. It doesn't happen very often, but enough to be noticeable. Probably three times a day at most. There seems to be an interface problem between the computer and the address space on these drives. I didn't realize that disk I/O interrupts could cause such a complete OS freeze, so I replaced this drive with my old one for a week to see if the problem persists. It didn't happen, so it's definitely caused by this drive. I suspect this is a bug in the firmware included on the disc, but not sure if an update will fix it. Hopefully. I will update this if anything changes. Otherwise works well, it's definitely an upgrade over the drive.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
