Crucial, brand of memory and storage upgrades and trademark of Micron Technology, Inc., has launched a range of MX300 SSDs.

CRUCIAL_mx300-full-ssd-hero-imageBuilt for speed and loaded with advanced features, these drives deliver an increase to system performance.

Key messages:

  • MX300 enables personal computers to boot up almost instantly, load programs with ease, and accelerate demanding applications

  • Eenergy efficiency technology within the drive reduces the amount of active power usage that is consumed and extends laptop battery life

  • Engineered with Micron 3D TLC NAND technology

  • available in 275, 525, 750GB and 1TB capacities

With read speeds up to 530MB/s and write speeds up to 510MB/s [1] on all file types, the MX300 enables users to boot up almost instantly, load programs with ease, and accelerate demanding applications. The drive is engineered with Micron 3D NAND technology, resulting in an endurance rating of up to 220TB total bytes written by leveraging larger NAND cells to deliver top-notch performance and prolong endurance.

“SSDs are the computing powerhouses behind loading and saving virtually everything we do on our computers. The MX300 is designed to put power back into the hands of users so they can get more out of their system for years to come,” said Mathew Luu, marketing manager APAC, consumer products group, Micron.

Crucial MX300 offers features including:

  • AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption to keep personal and confidential data secure

  • RAIN technology for increased reliability by storing data in multiple locations on the drive

  • Exclusive Data Defense to prevent files from becoming corrupted

  • Adaptive Thermal Protection to keep systems cool

The MX300 is also over 90x more energy efficient than a typical HDD.[2] Extreme Energy Efficiency technology within the drive reduces the amount of active power usage that is consumed and extends the laptop battery life by using 0.075W of power, compared to a typical HDD which uses 6.8W.

Available in 275, 525, 750GB and 1TB capacities, the MX300 2.5-inch SSD is supported by the company’s Storage Executive tool, backed by a limited three-year warranty and comes with Acronis True Image HD data migration software.

The MX300 will also be available in the M.2 2280 form factor in all capacities in late August.

MX300 SSDs are available for purchase through select ANZ partners including:
