Crucial MX200 SSD
More speed, capacity, and endurance.
Get more out of your storage.
When the Crucial
® MX100 was released, it set a new standard for SSDs that the Crucial MX200 pushes even further.

Leveraging leading specs on all fronts, along with new Dynamic Write Acceleration technology,
the Crucial MX200 is loaded with innovative features and immediately increases your system’s performance.
How the Crucial MX200 Benefits You
Performance & Endurance
Boot up almost instantly. Load programs in seconds. Accelerate demanding applications with ease.
Do more. Faster. Longer.
The Crucial MX200 delivers 555 MB/s sequential reads on both compressible and incompressible data, and outperforms a typical hard drive by 400 MB/s.1 Even better, the performance doesn’t let up, as the Crucial MX200 posts an endurance rating that’s up to 5 times greater than a typical client SSD.2
|
Transfer and save large files in a matter of seconds.
Competing SSDs typically rely on a fixed cache of multi-level cell flash memory, which allows you to write sequential data at published specs, but only for so long. Our industry-leading Dynamic Write Acceleration technology solves this problem by using an adaptable pool of high speed, single-level cell flash memory for consistently fast performance that doesn’t let up.
|
Max out performance and increase reliability.
Our engineers created RAIN technology to protect your data at the component level, similar to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives. This technology increases the security and protection of your data to a level that’s rarely seen in consumer-class SSDs.
|
Encrypt and protect your data at the highest possible level.
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 MX200 meets or exceeds all industry encryption standards, including Microsoft® eDrive, IEEE-1667, and TCG Opal 2.0.
|
Efficiency & Reliability
Store up to 1TB of data and achieve 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 MX200 is over 2x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive.3
|
Push your drive to the limit and avoid overheating.
Adaptive Thermal Protection technology enables the Crucial MX200 to dynamically adjust storage component activity based on how you’re using the drive, allowing your storage system to stay cool.
|
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 MX200, which arms every storage component with four layers of Exclusive Data Defense.

The SSD (Solid State Drive)is a storage medium that does not include moving parts. Due to the lack of moving parts, it is not as vulnerable as the traditional HDD, soundless and fast. It can be installed in a Notebook (depending on its thickness) as a PC.
