Conclusion
It also does well in sequential tests that move large amounts of data around - which is just the kind of workload Toshiba expects...The purpose of the Toshiba TR200 trio of SSDs is to provide an easy upgrade path to anyone still using a mechanical boot drive in their PC. In that regard, and in common with almost all other SSDs, it does the job well.
It also does well in sequential tests that move large amounts of data around - which is just the kind of workload Toshiba expects - though frailties become more readily apparent as we really knock the drive into shape through a serious of more stringent tests that focus on writing performance.
We believe that other entry-level SSDs offer better across-the-board performance, but those improvements are limited to academic testing that will not show up in day-to-day usage.
The TR200's combination of reasonable pricing, wholesome write endurance, and big-name backing are plus points, yet we feel as if there are better drives elsewhere, most notable the Crucial BX300.
Solid value
Good read performance
Robust endurance claims
Write speed not great
