Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - Up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1

Product Information

Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch. Crucial BX500 comes with five different capacities, yet Crucial MX500 comes with four different capacities. Both of them can reach up to 2TB. Look at the following chart: So, how to migrate the operating system to Crucial BX500 SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD? How to Migrate System to Crucial BX500 or Crucial MX500 SSD? The MX500 has been out several years, and while it initially launched with a single 1TB capacity, this all has changed with the lineup now filled out from 250GB to 2TB. Build quality is on par with the best SATA has to offer, and drive endurance is rated at a solid 700TBW or 383GB per day for five years. If you have gotten the Crucial BX500 SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD, you can use it to replace the original hard drive so as to boost PC performance. To do that, you can choose to migrate system from HDD to SSD.

Then the disk cloning process will begin. Do not interrupt the cloning process until it is finished. If you do not mind the lower random reading and sequential writing speed or slight endurance shortage, the Crucial 500MX can be a fantastic option to consider. It offers excellent value and performance for the money. On the other hand, if you want excellent service in terms of specifications, features, reliability, and performance, the Samsung 870 EVO will be the best option to go for.” Once all steps are finished, you have successfully cloned the system to the Crucial MX500 SSD or Crucial BX500 SSD. Bottom Line So, if you want to get an excellent SSD for your PC, then you should keep these two in mind. However, whereas both the SSDs offer amazing performance, some differences between them may create confusion about which one to choose. Now, we will show you how to use MiniTool ShadowMaker to clone OS from HDD to Crucial BX500 SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD. You should connect the Crucial SSD to the computer first.

Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using IOMeter® with a queue depth of 32 and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-the-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results. When choosing a hard drive or a solid-state drive, hard drive capacity is a necessary factor to be considered since larger hard drive enables you to save more files. Another measure you have to consider here is the MTBF or Mean Time Between Failure. MTBF measures the interval between one system failure and the next. The Samsung 870 EVO has an MTBF measure of 1.5 million hours. That means if you run 1.5 million of these SSDs simultaneously, you can expect one to fail. Software With higher performance and a solid price point, the MX500 manages to take top marks in the price/performance chart.

Over the past decade, the SSD technology featured in flash drives like the Crucial MX500 2.5 has gotten significantly cheaper and more widely accepted by the average user thanks to their incredible speed over the ancient hard drives. The speeds are increasing too, which in return helps the adoption of the tech even more and with its performance gains, the MX500 has become a good option for mainstream laptop and PC builds that accept 2.5-inch drives. The only caveat is the SATA connection instead of the faster PCI Express. Solid-State, Solid Performer The MX500 was launched by Micron as the first Crucial drive to be based on Micron's 6 4-layer 3D TLC NAND solution. This drive uses the TLC NAND instead of MLC NAND and offers a sizeable boost in performance (estimated to be around 10%) compared to the older model MX300. In that aspect, it lives up to Crucial's claims. It also comes bundled with Acronis' True Image HD app that allows you to clone your existing hard drive to make the OS installation process easier for a boot drive upgrade. With around 500 MB per second of read and write speeds, the MX500 should satisfy the average users. MX500 2.5: Price UK The Samsung 870 EVO comes with a 5-year warranty, emphasizing its reliability. In its lifetime, you can expect 150 to 2400 TBW based on the capacity option you choose. Whether you are a normal or hardcore computer user, the Samsung 870 EVO will give you consistent performance for a long period of time.

Crucial MX500 is three years older than the Samsung 870 EVO. This series was released on January 2018. These SSDs are also highly regarded among the PC user community because of the quality and performance level they offer at a very reasonable price. Design

The form factor of an SSD basically indicates its overall physical configuration, such as its size and shape. It is an important aspect to note when evaluating an SSD’s capability, compatibility, interchangeability, and, sometimes, cost. Both Crucial BX500 and Crucial MX500 SSDs come with large storage size, so that you can save a lot of files, documents, pictures, images, videos and so on. In addition, with a good sequential read and write speed, both of them enable you to start your system in seconds. And they are easy to install. With these features, some people would like to migrate the OS or files to the Crucial BX500 SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD to make computers faster. Or if you are using Crucial BX500 SSD now, you can also choose to upgrade it to Crucial MX500 SSD to get better performance. The Crucial MX500 SSDs have a SATA III interface, offering a maximum speed of 600 MB/s. In sequential reading, the speed measure reaches 560 MB/s, just like the 870 EVO. However, its sequential writing speed is less than its Samsung counterpart at only 510 MB/s. However, this performance difference is difficult to notice in everyday operations.The last difference between Crucial BX500 and Crucial MX500 we want to mention is the price. The budget always is the key factor when selecting a suitable hard drive or SSD. The Crucial MX500 offers a 5-year warranty. However, as we have previously mentioned, the TBW measure is lower in Crucial MX500 SSDs. In contrast, their MTBF measure is 1.8 million hours, which is higher than Samsung 870 EVO SSDs. Overall, the reliability of Crucial MX500 SSDs is good enough for everyday use and gaming.
