Our take on the MX500 1TB SATA 2.5"
The Crucial MX500 is the legendary budget SATA SSD — capped around 550 MB/s, but cheap, reliable, and dramatically faster than any hard drive. It is the ideal home for a big, inexpensive game library or bulk storage alongside a fast NVMe boot drive. Do not expect NVMe speed; do expect great value and dependability.
Strengths
- +Excellent value per gigabyte
- +Reliable and widely trusted
- +Works in almost any system with a SATA port
Trade-offs
- –SATA speeds are a fraction of NVMe
- –Not for use as a high-performance primary drive
Best for: Cheap, reliable bulk and game-library storage.
