Crucial MX200 500GB Solid State Drive Review

"Crucial's MX200 is a great choice for the consumer or enthusiast looking for an SSD that delivers excellent performance, innovative features and long term endurance. Like its predecessor, the MX100, the drive combines Marvell's 88SS9187 controller with Micron's 16nm 128gb NAND flash to produce some impressive performance numbers. In our sequential read and write tests, the MX200 was able to read at speeds as high as 547 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 471 MB/s. It also did very well in our random write tests, producing more than 88,000 IOPS at low queue depths. That being said, the MX200 did have some problems recovering once it was filled with data and put in a "dirty" state. This is something that the average consumer will probably never run into. However, as an enthusiast, I hope that Crucial will address this in a future firmware update.”
