leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades, today announced the new
Crucial(®)BX200 solid state drive (SSD), which offers substantial yet affordable
performance gains compared to a standard hard drive. The drive, designed for
consumers and SMBs, allows users to load applications in seconds, boot up almost

The new BX200 provides sequential read and write speeds up to 540 MB/s and 490
MB/s respectively on all types of data, as well as random read and write speeds
up to 66k and 78k IOPS respectively. Additionally, when compared to a typical
hard drive, the new BX200 is more than 13 times faster(i) and 40 times more
energy efficient(ii) for almost instantaneous access to data, resulting in
longer battery life and a cooler, quieter system. The new drive utilises
aSilicon Motion SM2256 Controller and is coupled with Micron verified firmware,
allowing users to upgrade their existing infrastructure at an affordable price,
which is a great alternative to buying a whole new system.

are slowed down by an old or inadequate hard drive," said Jonathan Weech, senior
worldwide product manager, Crucial. "This SSD is the perfect blend of
performance and value, allowing a user to get more done and have more fun.

"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."
