Crucial MX100 128GB: A Cheap But Good SSD For Linux Systems

When running the Flexible I/O Tester, the 128GB Crucial MX100 SSD was actually the fastest and even managed to beat out the 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 high-end SSD by a small percent.

With FS-Mark, the OCZ Vertex 3 returned to take over the top spot with having double the NAND storage capacity, but the 128GB Crucial SSD did manage to run about 44% faster than the Samsung 840 EVO SSD for the test of 1,000 files at 1MB size.

When dealing with four threads of FS-Mark, the 128GB Crucial MX100 was 55% faster than the Samsung competition.

With the final FS-Mark test, the Crucial MX100 remained performing well compared to the 120GB Samsung 840 SSD or the 150GB Western Digital VelociRaptor HDD for that matter.
