Crucial MX500 Internal SSD Reviews
Nice little SSD
Bought this to use as a backup drive of another SSD that I use for photos. Was very easy to set up in my OWC housing, very light in weight. Speedy enough. Compared to M.2 PCI-e drives it's very slow but I don't need it to be fast, just functional. Always happy with Crucial products.
Modern update for old PC
I've used these drives to update old PCs. It makes a massive difference in performance regarding booting and loading. I believe there's a cache for power failure as well. So far very happy with the drive.
Crucial SATA SSD
Using this SSD as my boot drive. Working without any issues.
Good product
I have several of these SSD's and have never had a problem.
Decent buy
Price per GB for its size, having a decent controller copared to the cheaper options, and some more expensive options not really neccessary to buy compared to this. The shell to the ssd even feels like aluminum instead of many drives that use plastic, so that is a nice touch, to my liking.
Fast.
It's fast and well priced. Installed in Win 11 OS with no issues.
Great working drive
Fast drive that's great for my desktop workflow.
Better than expected
This drive added much needed capacity to capture old video and store and share in a digital format.
