    Thank you, link edited to reflect in-house link since it's available!

    Very good this will sell like hot cakes I assumed seeing how successful was the MX100 in the best bang for the buck SSD that is MLC NAND based, affordable, and offers decent performance.

    bye bye HDDs, it's 2015 :D

    M550 is still faster according to benchmarks.

    yeah was almost to buy a 1TB BX100 but then I saw the benchmarks and stopped. That thing is pathetic, even though it's a budget SSD, I wouldn't have paid $400 USD for such crappy performance
