Designed for consumers and small-to-medium businesses, the new BX200 provides sequential read and write speeds up to 540 MB/s and 490 MB/s respectively on all types of data, as well as random read and write speeds up to 66k and 78k IOPS respectively. As a result, it allows users to load applications in seconds, enables computers to boot up almost instantly, and makes everyday applications run faster. Compared to a typical hard drive, the new BX200 is more than 13 times faster and 40 times more energy efficient, resulting in longer battery life and a cooler, quieter system.
Available now in a 2.5-inch form factor, the Crucial BX200 SSD is offered in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities with MSRPs of AUD$159/NZ$169, AUD$289/NZ$309 and AUD$539/NZ$569, respectively. The new drive is supported by the Crucial Storage Executive tool, is backed by a limited three-year warranty, and is compatible with both PC and Mac systems. The BX200 also comes standard with Acronis True Image HD data migration software that moves all files, operating systems, settings and programs from an existing hard drive to the newly installed SSD.
