Crucial RealSSD C300 review

 

Crucial's RealSSD C300 stands out from almost every other SSD currently available by its use of a super-fast SATA 6Gbps interface bus.

Even without a modern SATA 6Gbps bus-equipped PC, the Crucial RealSSD C300 would be our first choice for a performance SSD at this capacity. Not only does it take on the attention-grabbing sequential read-write tests with dashing aplomb, it also...

Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB Sata 3 SSD

 

SSD with Sata 3 capability for the early adopter

Using the Crucial C300 on a Sata 2.0 connection produced a warm glowing feeling but things went to pieces when using Sata 3.0. Most of the benchmark figures dipped alarmingly, however, Iometer gave great results. While there are performance gains with...

Crucial C300 256GB SSD Review

 

It's about damn time. 6Gb/s SATA is old news now. It's been half a year since we saw the first 6Gb/s SATA–enabled hard drive, and it was a frickin' mechanical drive. Talk about unnecessary. Solid state drives, on the other hand, have been bumping at...

Fastest read speeds ever; decent write speeds

Random writes can't touch SandForce drives; write-speed slowdowns after use

There’s no question that on a 6Gb/s SATA port, the Crucial C300 has by far the fastest read speeds we’ve ever seen. And on a 3Gb/s port, it’s nothing to sneeze at. But for sequential and random write speeds, it can’t touch SandForce drives. And its...
