Crucial's MX500 is one of the most successful SSDs on the market due to its great performance at an amazing price point. At launch, only 2.5" SATA models were available, but now, the M.2 form factor drives are shipping, too - with no price increase.

Outstanding price-per-GB; Compact form factor; Very competitively priced; Encryption; Power-loss protection; 5-year warranty; Acronis TrueImage HD included (via Crucial website

Uses slower SATA interface; TLC not trusted by as many users as MLC; Thermal throttling with heavy writes and no additional cooling

I thought it was NVMe but not, so I returned it without using.

I have two of these SSDs one used in a desktop computer and the other inside a NAS. Both experience the same issue. Write about 15-20 GB at a time, it seems to be working fine. However when you transfer say 50GB files one after another, the first file might transfer, but subsequently the drive will...

less than 20 pence for one GB, although it is slower than SATA but if you have M.2 on your mobo, this SSD can save your one SATA for much lager HDD.

Love it.

I got this to replace a failing HDD and had a spare M.2 slot on my MB. It works great and gave me more space in my case.
