Crucial MX100 256 GB 2.5" Serial ATA III

The choice between speed and capacity is over. Choose both.

Traditionally, SSDs have offered powerful speeds and extra features, but at a high cost per gigabyte. Enter the Crucial MX100 SSD. Leveraging years of R&D and the latest NAND technology, the Crucial MX100 offers a low cost per GB, combined with unrelenting performance and one of the most complete feature sets available.

Feature-packed capacity. Proven reliability.

The Crucial MX100 provides plenty of cost-effective storage for your photos, music, videos, and documents—all while backing your data with a higher level of reliability than a hard drive or competing SSD.

Run your system longer than ever before—using less power.

With Extreme Energy Efficiency technology, the Crucial MX100 is up to 89% more energy efficient than a typical hard drive.

Keep your memories, photos, and files safe.

When a photo or file gets corrupted, it often becomes unusable. Prevent this from happening in the first place with the Crucial MX100 SSD, which arms every storage component with four layers of Exclusive Data Defense to guard against corrupt files.

Protect all of your data—even if the power goes out.

With Power Loss Protection, if you happen to be saving a file and you suddenly lose access to power, your data will still be preserved.

Push your drive to the limit and avoid overheating.

Adaptive Thermal Protection technology enables the Crucial MX100 to dynamically adjust storage component activity based on how you’re using the drive, allowing your system to stay cool and react to changes in use.

Unrelenting performance. Top-notch security.

Boot up almost instantly. Load programs in seconds. Accelerate demanding applications. And encrypt and protect
your data with no loss in performance.

Do more—faster.

Get true 550 MB's sequential reads on both compressible and incompressible data—and leave your old 177 MB's hard drive in the dust.

Get best-in-class hardware encryption.

Keep personal files and sensitive information secure from hackers and thieves with AES 256-bit encryption—the same grade used by banks and hospitals. The Crucial MX100 is one of the only drives available that meets Microsoft® eDrive®, IEEE-1667, and TCG Opal 2.0 standards of encryption.

Save and transfer files in seconds rather than minutes.

Our exclusive Native Write Acceleration technology spreads the drive’s workload across several elements, enabling you to write data in seconds rather than minutes.

Attain consistently fast speeds without compromising the reliability of your data.

Our engineers created RAIN technology to protect your data at the component level, similar to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives. This enterprise-class technology increases the security and protection of your data to a level that’s rarely available in consumer-class SSDs.
