![]() Not writing that third bit both reduces the amount of data being written by a third and requires less voltage, making all the difference speed-wise: 30GB was more than enough to cover our 20GB copy tests, copying a 30GB Blu-ray rip, and a whole lot of other everyday tasks. Pretty much anything you’ll do will be covered by that 30GB, with the exception of the initial cloning operation that you’ll perform when replacing a hard drive or a similar large-scale operation. ![]() But in the case of this drive, Crucial decided to treat more of it (30GB!) as MLC: That is, writing only two bits instead of the three that TLC is capable of. The 15nm Micron 3D (stacked) TLC NAND used in the Limited Edition 750GB MX300 performs roughly on par with Samsung’s and Toshiba’s. What’s different? This version of the MX300 actually has enough fast NAND cache to provide maximum performance during all the write operations a user will perform, not just the everyday ones. The drive in question? Crucial’s 750GB Limited Edition MX300, which retails for a mere $179 on Amazon. That is, only if they can’t find a like-priced multi-level-cell (MLC) drive. A triple-level-cell (TLC) NAND-based SSD that I can recommend to users without a lot of caveats finally exists.
