Micron Outs Crucial MX300 With 3D NAND, Coming This Month

[Guest]

Micron played host to media today in the new Austin, Texas research lab. At the event, several products were discussed. Only one was glossed over, and it's the one we care about for consumer use.

Micron Outs Crucial MX300 With 3D NAND, Coming This Month : Read more

I am excited to see the new 3D NAND coming into the market

 

[manleysteele]

I with you on that, jaber2. I wonder how long it will be before we see a drive with the SM 2260 controller. It should be a barn burner.

Who else is more excited about the all-around price drops more than the actual MX300 device itself?

Samsung introduced 3D Nand for SSDs with the 850 line. It'll be nice to see benchmark results between the two brands in a few months.

I would really like to see the specs on the MX300s and see how they stack up to you know who, lol.

 

[falchard]

Very happy with the MX series of SSDs so far. I have 2 in my system. An MX100 and MX200.

what ever happened to sandforce 3000 series?

Finally some serious 3D NAND competition for Samsung. And hopefully we can all forget about the BX200 soon.

 

[littleleo]

The BX200 is still popular beacuse of the price, the MX200s are about gone so we are waiting on the MX300 now. The Samsung 750 EVO and the SanDisk X400 are cutting into the BX200 share.

Lets see when that price drop will happen... 2017 or later...
It depends a lot on what Samsung does. At first these will compete with Comparative todays Prises...

Here we are end of May. No sign of the MX300 or report of why it's delayed. What gives?

It was originally supposed to launch around Computex, ie. next week. Maybe media reports overinterpreted the Amazon product page with its obviously inaccurate launch date.

Might be related to nVidia's 1080 launch since Micron is supplying the GDDR5X memory.

Micron's DRAM business really should have no impact on the NAND flash they get from IMFT.

 

[Trundalope]

So here it is the end of May and the MX300 is nowhere to be found, nor any report of delays. What gives?

Micron's latest go-live date for the Crucial MX300 is June 14. The even better news is that they'll be offering 750GB version at a 500GB price point. Release dates for the other capacities will be announced at Computex 2016 this week.
