Review: Hits the sweet spot for being a primary or secondary drive with a price to match - This is only my second Crucial SSD. The other one was purchased 8 years back - M4 128GB SSD. My intention at the time of purchasing the first drive was to speed up my PC and make it sort of future-proof for couple of years. It still rocks the PC! I have been using the M4 SSD for 8 years straight, as the primary/system drive on my PC. This means it gets used every single day. Now let me be clear, I do not transfer huge amounts of files to and from the drive everyday. But, it's the drive on which all temporary files get written everyday from all activities (Productivity, Web-browsing, Photo-editing and light gaming). It has been more than 70% full almost it's entire life and performance has never dipped nor has the drive ever given me any trouble. As per the S.M.A.R.T report, it still has 87% of its life left! This makes Crucial one of the first makes that I recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to Samsung drives. As I am (reluctantly) retiring my 10 year old PC, I wanted to save all my important data on an drive which I could plug into my new system or laptop. I would require a minimum 1TB drive as the amount of data was about 550GB. SSDs are the only way I see future storage; therefore, the choice for me was choosing between a PCI-e or a SATAIII SSD. The logical choice would have been to go with a PCI-e drive as these are faster and have (theoretically) longer life spans. However, there are 2 main reasons I chose to go with a SATAIII device: 1. Installation possibilities: As I was not sure if I would be getting a laptop or PC next, I wanted to be sure that whichever drive I purchase now could be installed in the new PC or laptop. Most current PC motherboards do allow for multiple PCI-e drives to be installed, but only very high-end current laptops are able (?) to take multiple PCI-e drives. As most laptops have a SATAIII drive either as a primary drive or as an existing/upgradeable secondary drive, it made more sense to get a SATAIII drive. 2. Cost: PCI-e drives have not caught up yet with SATAIII drives in terms of GB per dollar. The MX500 1TB has the best performance per GB per dollar (if there is such a term) ratio from my research. There was another possibility, get a PCI-e drive and use an enclosure or adapter. I've read that, in these cases the performance of the drive dips to speeds and bandwidth supported by the enclosure or adapter. This sounded like defeating the purpose of a PCI-e. I would rather have a proper functioning drive working to its maximum (rated) performance capability. Currently, I am using this drive with a UGREEN USB 3.1 Type C to SATA enclosure till I am able to install it in the new system. Therefore, I cannot state the performance figures of the drive itself. There is a huge amount of information on the performance of the MX500 drives on the internet. I would encourage anyone thinking of purchasing this drive to look it up. For me, the drive has been performing impeccably. As I keep transferring any new files I create to this drive, it keeps getting written everyday. S.M.A.R.T. reports life of the drive is still 100% after almost 2 weeks of use. My review here is subjective and specific to my use of the device as a storage which will carry my data over to the new system, with the flexibility of using it either as a primary storage device (with enough space for my data) or, as a fast secondary storage device, if my new system comes with PCI-e storage as primary. In conclusion, I purchased this drive after spending a lot of time researching my options and this drive performs exactly as I wanted it to. I look forward to another decade of rock-solid reliability and performance with this Crucial MX500 1TB SSD drive. Keep up the good work Crucial!
