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

  • It s still a SATA drive

  • 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

  • The new MX500 series will be king of the budget. It does so while offering solid performance in the 400/500MB write ranges as well and comes with proper endurance levels, neither does it seem to suffer from the TLC write hole (slowing down once caches run...

  • Solid overall performance and performance consistency, Competitive endurance, Good cost/GB
  • TRIM-related performance issues
  • The SSD market certainly needed a good kick in the pricing, and the MX500 has certainly delivered. While we haven't seen products out in the open, the 1TB MX500 is available directly from Crucial at their stated MSRP. What do you get for your money? A sol...

  • Most of the time, it seems like all the interesting new developments in the SSD market are in the NVMe segment, while SATA SSDs are stuck with the same performance limits and decreasing endurance. The Crucial MX500 bucks the trend by setting several surpr...

  • Competitive performance, Competitive pricing, Fiveyear warranty, Long endurance rating, Excellent software package, Host power failure protection
  • The look appears dated
  • The Crucial MX500 1TB is the product to buy in the 1TB SATA SSD space. It checks all of the feature boxes like the previous MX series products, but this new edition focuses on performance. The MX500 is a true competitor to the Samsung 850 EVO 1TB and...

  • Read speeds, Write speeds, Value for money
  • 2TB still a big premium
  • This 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD offers amazing speeds at a great price and storage size. The 2TB drive is still a healthy premium and will likely be some time before that becomes the default option. If you're a creative person who runs the Adobe Creative Cloud...
