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

  • It is funny how the mind works. A 2.5" regular SSD showing the perf numbers we've seen today, would be considered fast. However, on M.2, that same result set all of the sudden feels, or seems, slow? Weird huh? Yeah, an M2 SSD at these read/write levels is...

  • Conclusive ThoughtsConsidering the fact that the MX500 SSD does feature TLC NAND packages, we were expecting a sudden performance drop after the buffers have been filled, but fortunately it was not the case! The drive succeeded to maintain write speeds ar...

  • Shopping for a SSD can be a little confusing. For instance do you focus on storage capacity and price or do you look at performance and pick the best one. As you may have noticed I included two very similar drives in this review both using Micron 3D NAND...
