I think this is a pretty good deal for anyone looking to upgrade to an ssd for the first time or just looking to expand in space, cheapest we get here in Australia is about $299. The other capacity ones are also cheaper then current Australian prices.

Items: $179.99 USD

  Sequential reads/writes up to 535 / 450 MB/s on all file types

  aint the MX-100 500 G version be better in specs?

  this looks like a level below that one with the MX550 being at the top

    Well when it comes to real world testing the BX-100 is slightly better and is relatively cheaper then the MX-100, i used this website as reference:
    http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Crucial-MX100-256GB-vs-…
    The mx-100 512gb is 20 USD more then this one, so essentially you paying 20 bucks more for the 12 extra GB and slightly lower performance.

      While that holds true for the 256gb model the 500gb is a different story:

      http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/10775/Crucial-CT512MX…
      Average Bench: 90% - Rank 44th / 580

      http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/22570/CT500BX100SSD1
      Average Bench: 88.6% - Rank 51st / 580

      The performance is still virtually identical though so not sure that it's worth that extra $20

        +1

        I got the 500GB version MX-100 currently running in my primary system in place of the 256GB Samsung evo, I really don't see the difference between the MX-100 and EVO.

        In fact I hardly see any SSD can give a different feel after they were capable of 400 mb read and write on a SATA 3 interface.

        What is key is the software support, firmware upgrades and stuff.
