No its the 240gb250GB version.
Where is it on sale, and for how much?
Yes still on 7200rpmCompared to what? If you're using mechanical storage any ssd will improve data transfers in a big way. That is a perfect size for a boot drive but keep in mind as you fill it up the speed is decreased which is why a drive that size is right for the OS and a few programs.
No its the 240gb
Newegg $60
Used a $25 gift card so 40 otd
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-bx200-ssd,4351-6.htmlJust for fun, we went back to the company's C300, the first SATA 6Gb/s solid-state drive to hit the market, as a comparison point. It surfaced in 2010 and obliterated the BX200 in every test we ran. Even the BX100, the BX200's predecessor, is superior in every way.
Why even toy with the slowest TLC drive to date? Hopefully the successor improves like Samsung did going from the 840 Evo to the 850 Evo but Crucial's first attempt at TLC is a complete turnoff. You'd be better off going for any other TLC for a few dollars more.

No other TLC posts latency and transfer rates as the BX200 does though. It also has not been out long enough to gauge its longevity. It took me a while to trust the 850 Evo :sneaky:normally i would disagree saying any SSD, even the slow TLC drives will be a worthwhile upgrade vs mechanical. after putting in a sandisk TLC SSD in a laptop though... while faster than any mechanical still, it just sucks compared to their MLC brethren. go with at least the mx200 or equivalent. TLC is fine for storage though.

I'd rather have the MX200 for $20 bucks more
the MX300 is coming out in a few days so expect some price cuts for old inventory
Definitely get it at that price, but don't use as OS/boot drive. Use it for secondary storage or put in external enclosure.240gb version is on sale
