The benefits on a solid state drive are incredible. You’d be surprised at just how much of a performance gain you can see by installing one. Gaming, OS boot times, and much more can be drastically improved with the help of an SSD. Someone once described having a beastly PC without an SSD as “Driving a Ferrari like a Fiat 500.” Finding an SSD can be a daunting task for a PC builder. Personally, purchasing an SSD often feels nonsensical to me. The average size of a program or game these days cannot allow for minimal capacity drives. Capacity to price is always a concern too, I doubt many people want to rinse their wallets for a new solid state drive.
Enter the BX100 from Crucial, an SSD that not only provides excellent performance but does so at a cheap cost. With numerous models ranging from 120GB through 250GB and 500GB to a huge 1TB, without a doubt the BX100 is one of the best value SSDs on the market. Though its not the fastest drive out there, it certainly packs a punch at a very gracious price. For 500GB alone the BX100 only costs £125 (UK Sept 2015).
