The editors didn't like

  • Slower write speeds
  •  
  • No NVMe Version. Yet
  • None
  • TRIM-related performance issues
  • Nothing worth to mention
  • Small Performance Increase Compared To The BX300
  • Write speed drops when SLC cache is full
  • Small Performance Increase Compared To The BX300 Line
  • High Temperatures (Performance Throttling)
  • Performance (Compared To NVMe Drives)
  • Lower Write Endurance Than Competition
  • The only downside that I can think of is the write endurance which is much lower than what the Samsung 870 EVO offers. Other than that
  • The MX500 4TB capacity is perfect for users who are looking for a large capaci
  • Sequential bandwidth could be higher
  • DRAM Amount

  • High performance at an affordable price. Compared to the Samsung 850 EVO 1TB that retails for $300
  • The MX500 1TB i
  • It's still a SATA drive

  • Slower write speeds,  
  • Traditional hard drives won't disappear anytime soon, but unless you need heaps of storage space for as little money as possible, you should buy an SSD instead. If you're a regular computer user, an affordable SATA SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo is a sen...

  • The M.2 Type 2280 Crucial MX500 250GB does have about the same performance as its 500GB version and the installation process is pretty straight-forward. With a MTTF of 1.8 million hours, an endurance of 100TB (TBW) and a limited five-year warranty, we can...

  • Great value, High performance, 5 year warranty
  • When I got this drive I expected it to perform very similarly to the 500GB I really liked last month, I was not surprised in any way, and well at it's current price point its an even better value than the 500GB was, with prices on NAND continuing to drop...

  • Fantastic performance, Great Warranty, Great File Transfer Speed
  • All in all at $110 on Amazon right now, the Crucial drive is a great pick at the higher end of SATA SSDs, while in many cases the differences between it and the MyDigitalSSD SuperBoot were very minor, it did jump ahead quite a bit in our file transfer tes...

  • As you can all easily tell from our charts the MX500 500GB M.2 variant performs more or less the same as its SATA brother (they actually exchange punches a lot with the M.2 variant coming up ontop in most tests). Still much like most M.2 driv...

  • With that said, the minor write throttling hasn't changed our minds about the MX500. Now that it is finally available in an M.2 form factor and now that we have tested it in a 500GB capacity, we can definitely say that it is still one of the best values i...
