The drive, designed for consumers and SMBs, allows users to load applications ins, boot up almost instantly, and accelerate every day applications.

It provides sequential read and write speeds up to 540MB/s and 490MB/s  respectively on all types of data, as well as random read and write speeds up to 66,000 and 78,000 IO/s respectively.

Additionally, when compared to a typical HDD, the BX200 is more than 13 times faster and 40 times more energy efficient for almost instantaneous access to data, resulting in longer battery life and a cooler, quieter system.

The drive utilises a Silicon Motion SM2256 controller and is coupled with Micron verified firmware, allowing users to upgrade their existing infrastructure at an affordable price, which is an alternative to buying a whole new system.

The new Crucial BX200 SSD is an ideal solution for consumers whose computers are slowed down by an old or inadequate HDD,” said Jonathan Weech, senior WW product manager, Crucial. “This SSD is the perfect blend of performance and value, allowing a user to get more done and have more fun. Installing a BX200 will help users enjoy their computers again.”

Robert Fan, VP and GM, Silicon Motion U.S.A., said: “We are excited about our latest partnership with Crucial on the new BX200 SSD. Our high-performance and low power consumption SM2256 controller combined with Micron 16nm TLC NAND helps make the BX200 reliable, fast, energy efficient and affordable.”

Available in a 2.5-inch form factor, the BX200 SSD is offered in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB with MSRPs of £66.99, £116.99 and £234.99, respectively

The new drive is supported by the Crucial Storage Executive tool, is backed by a limited three-year warranty, and is compatible with both PC and Mac systems. It also comes standard with Acronis True Image HD data migration software that moves all files, OSs, settings and programs from an existing HDD to the newly installed SSD.
