Crucial BX500 Internal SSD Reviews

Unreliable; two quickly became dead

By James
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-09

Bought from B&H the first one of these to install in my new Eufy Homebase. Soon after formatting (using my personal computer and an adapter) and then installing in Homebase, the drive stopped functioning. Eufy was not able to recognize the added storage. Returned this SSD to B&H and received a replacment. Same drill, but it did register as 2TB added storage in Homebase, but that didn't last very long before it was no longer recognized. Removed it and hooked up to my computer using the reliable adapter (sold by B&H) and this second BX500 would not respond at all. I've successfully used Crucial's other products, but this one is not a winner! Maybe it's a bad batch, but I'm going to look for another brand.

very strurdy

We use them in security surveillance trailers and they are robust and sturdy you cannot go wrong in buying them.

Is it a 2-bit MLC or a 3-bit MLC design?
Asked by: Robert
This is a QLC drive (quad level). Good for every day use, but heavy users may want a TLC drive (faster and more dependable) in stead. B&H offers both kind of SSD.

Will this work in my HP OMEN Laptop 15-dh1050nr 15.6" Intel Core i7-10750H 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD?
Asked by: Trace
In general we do not recommend upgrading the 2.5" drives on the HP Omen as it is a difficult notebook to upgrade. Other models of the OMEN could be done by a professional computer repair shop but you need to check with HP if this particular HP OMEN is compatible.
