Crucial RealSSD C300 review
Crucial's RealSSD C300 stands out from almost every other SSD currently available by its use of a super-fast SATA 6Gbps interface bus.
Even without a modern SATA 6Gbps bus-equipped PC, the Crucial RealSSD C300 would be our first choice for a performance SSD at this capacity. Not only does it take on the attention-grabbing sequential read-write tests with dashing aplomb, it also...

Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB Sata 3 SSD
SSD with Sata 3 capability for the early adopter
Using the Crucial C300 on a Sata 2.0 connection produced a warm glowing feeling but things went to pieces when using Sata 3.0. Most of the benchmark figures dipped alarmingly, however, Iometer gave great results. While there are performance gains with...

Fastest read speeds ever; decent write speeds
Random writes can't touch SandForce drives; write-speed slowdowns after use
There’s no question that on a 6Gb/s SATA port, the Crucial C300 has by far the fastest read speeds we’ve ever seen. And on a 3Gb/s port, it’s nothing to sneeze at. But for sequential and random write speeds, it can’t touch SandForce drives. And its...
