Crucial M500 M.2 NGFF SATA 3 SSD Review (480GB) – High Capacity and Power Loss Data Protection
It has been almost a year since Crucial/Micron introduced their new M500 family and, with that, came the news of what we then termed as a new Crucial M500 NGFF SSD that would be introduced to retail consumers.
The Crucial M500 solid-state drive may be at the bottom of our lineup, but it can still hold its own. This SSD is quick and efficient and will do the job in just about any machine. A Marvell controller drives this device along with MLC flash-component technology and SATA 3 compatibility.
- The Crucial M500 solid-state drive is fast
- and Crucial has fantastic help and support options
- This is a 2.5-inch form factor SSD that does not come with a 3.5-inch mounting kit
Affordable, awesome as an OS drive
There was nothing special or remarkable about installing the device (it did come with two mSATA sized screws tho), and consecutively installing Windows 7 Pro on it was a breeze on my Lenovo Y500.
Crucial M500 480GB SSD review: Crucial m4's successor
At the CES 2013 conference earlier this year Crucial announced the successor to its popular m4 series of SSDs. The new M500 series uses the new Marvell 88SS1987 controller and Micron 20nm MLC flash memory. We had to wait a few months, but now the new M500 is finally available.
The Crucial/Micron M500 Review (960GB, 480GB, 240GB, 120GB)
For SSDs to become more cost effective they need to implement higher density NAND, which is often at odds with performance, endurance or both. Samsung chose the endurance side of the equation, but kept performance largely intact with the vanilla 840.

Crucial M500 480GB Solid-State Drive Review
The M500 Series from Crucial won't win any extreme performance awards but it's certainly fast enough for virtually anyone and the price per usable GB of the 480Gb and 960GB drives is extremely attractive.
Review: Crucial M500 960GB SSD
But even the blue-hued chip giant must have been somewhat surprised by just how cutthroat this SSD marketplace has become. While SSDs may never quite reach parity with HDDs when it comes to price per gigabyte, they have become sufficiently less expensive to make the combination of a small SDD (for...
Crucial M500 480GB SSD Review
On the broad scale, there is quite a substantial gap between solid state drives that offer up massive storage capacities and those that offer blazing performance, making the process of choosing a drive that offers both to a certain extent rather hard.
