The editors didn't like

  • Slower write speeds
  •

  • None
  • TRIM-related performance issues
  • Nothing worth to mention

  • Write speed drops when SLC cache is full

  • This second look at the Crucial MX500 reinforces our opinion of it as a solid performer, but it definitely isn't the fastest TLC SSD around. It is more common to find the MX500 placing second or third in its class on the performance tests, which isn't a p...
