Review: Great Deal - Very Good Item Good Price Review: 500gbp ssd. My dead laptop is super jet now - I will give you the results in short story. My lenovo laptop (intel i55) 1T hdd and 6gbp ram was so slow, max tested speed was w/r 50/60 mb. I changed the ram first to 20gbp and got only 10% improvement. Next I changed hdd to this awesome 500gbp ssd, installation was so easy in less than one hour everything was ready. Speed test done several times by crystal mark and system task manager in both results were the same. W/R 6.2gbo/5.8gbp (yes gbp) I couldn’t believe my eyes! Don’t forget after installation you should enable momentum from crucial software, then you will get that 10X speed, don’t worry they will guide you step by step, just watch the 4 short videos from crucial site as recommended. Get it you won’t regret it, it is the same or faster than nvme. ## Features - Sequential reads and writes up to 560/510 MB/s; and random reads and writes up to 95k/90k on all file types - Accelerated by Micron 3D NAND technology - Integrated Power Loss Immunity preserves all your saved work if the power unexpectedly gets cut ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0786QNS9B | | Additional Features | Data Recovery Service | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,839 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #186 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Brand | Crucial | | Built-In Media | Internal Solid State Drive | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 256 | | Color | Metal | | Compatible Devices | This drive is compatible with desktops and laptops that accept 2.5" 7mm SATA drives | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 54,894 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | Silicon | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard disk form factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC; Mac | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 10.3L x 7W x 0.7Th centimeters | | Item Type Name | MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT500MX500SSD1 | | Item Weight | 39.4 Grams | | Manufacturer | Micron | | Media Speed | 510 | | Mfr Part Number | CT500MX500SSD1 | | Model Name | MX500 | | Model Number | CT500MX500SSD1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 560 Megabytes Per Second | | Special features | Data Recovery Service | | Specific Uses For Product | General Computing, Data Storage, System Upgrade | | UPC | 649528785053 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crucial - **Colour:** Metal - **Compatible devices:** This drive is compatible with desktops and laptops that accept 2.5" 7mm SATA drives - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special features:** Data Recovery Service ## Images ![CT500MX500SSD1 MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - Metal 2.5 Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710RaOfH89L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the M series and the B series?** A: The MX Crucial SSD storage series has one of the most generous dynamic SLC dynamic DRAM cache which helps make a map of the drives buffer contents; for example if one gets the 4Tb model that comes with 4Gb of DRAM storage, 2Tb that comes with 2Gb of DRAM storage and 1Tb that comes with 1Gb of DRAM storage; that helps with buffering up ones data stream which serves to smooth out ones data streaming experience; the MX Crucial SSD storage series also has a much better endurance rating on the 2Tb of 700Tbw versus BX of only 240Tbw largely because of its new 64/96 layer 3D NAND technology that directly challenges even the highly popular much more expensive Samsung EVO series line of SSD's; the BX Crucial SSD storage series has a five year warranty vs MX series only three year warranty; the MX Crucial SSD storage series has built-in hardware based AES 256-bit encryption controller also as well; just go with the MX Crucial SSD storage series as one is getting quite a lot of worthwhile great added extra value added features and also extra value added reliable performance that is a mere on average only $10 added per 1 Tb SSD storage which approaches the near feature and value added SSD storage feature set of even the Samsung EVO series. **Q: Is the hardware encryption more secure than Veracrypt software encryption?** A: Dear client, thank you for contacting us, it will be a pleasure helping you.

Works better on an i5 or equivalent processor. Installed one on an i3 system and didn't see as much of an improvement. Not because of the drive but it's not worth the trouble of changing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT500MX500SSD1 - ORICO 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter Internal Drive Bay Converter Mounting Bracket Caddy Tray for 7 / 9.5 / 12.5mm 2.5 inch HDD / SSD with SATA III Interface(1125SS) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/249539541-ct500mx500ssd1-mx500-500gb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/249539541-ct500mx500ssd1-mx500-500gb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
