Given the modest performance of the Crucial MX300, you’d be forgiven for expecting the MX500 to deliver much of the same. That’s a departure from the MX300; due to the odd 384GB capacity of its NAND dies, this was available in 275GB and 525GB versions.Upgrade with the Crucial MX500 SSD, a drive built on quality, speed, and security that’s all backed by helpful service and support. With thousands of hours of pre-release validation, and a heritage of award-winning SSDs, we are confident enough to include a three-year or five-year warranty, depending on the SSD product purchased. The MX500 also sees a bump up in the length of its warranty from its predecessor, with the drive now getting five years of cover. It still hasn’t launched a consumer PCI-E NVMe SSD, and when it debuted its first 3D NAND two years ago, it did so with a mid-range product, the MX300.

Meanwhile, random performance has also been pushed about as high as possible, with the drive surpassing its claimed IOPS performance in Iometer.SSDs are also better equipped to survive physical trauma, like getting dropped, because they don’t rely on mechanical parts.

This drive sees the debut of Micron’s 64-layer 3D NAND, up from the 32-layer NAND of the MX300, but there’s still no NVMe option and this SATA version still isn’t an all-out performance model. Backed by thousands of hours of pre-release validation, dozens of qualification tests, and a heritage of award-winning SSDs, the Crucial MX500 has been thoroughly tried, tested and proven. That drive offered good value for money and perfectly adequate performance for most users, but was noticeably slower than several other mainstream drives. Unlike hard drives, SSDs don’t have moving parts that wear out over time, which makes them less likely to crash.With competitive pricing and a lengthy five-year warranty, it’s now the drive to put at the top of your shortlist. Three years or five years or writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first.
