Review: Fast, Reliable, and Tons of Storage - I purchased the 4TB Crucial MX500 to expand my storage without giving up performance, and it has exceeded my expectations. Installation was quick and easy, and the drive was recognized immediately. The 4TB capacity provides plenty of room for large games, media files, and backups, while still delivering the fast boot times and quick file transfers you'd expect from a quality SATA SSD. Even though NVMe drives are faster on paper, the MX500 is about as fast as the SATA interface allows, making it an excellent upgrade for systems that use 2.5-inch SATA drives. Overall, this SSD has been fast, reliable, and completely hassle-free. If you're looking for a dependable high-capacity SATA SSD, I highly recommend the Crucial MX500 4TB.
Review: Crucial MX500 1TB - Worked well and is Faster than my older Intel 180 SSD - I have always (25 years) bought Crucial memory and storage devices for my PC's and to upgrade for friends. They make very good and reliable products. I would pay a bit extra to get this name-brand, tested, quality product. The drive installed in the bundled bracket easily and the process went well (for an experienced PC person). I needed to change the BIOS settings to get the drive recognized (Legacy Order of Boot). I tried to install the Acronis Disk Clone program, but it would not run/install due to this error. It had an error of "Already at Latest Level" and would not continue to load. Windows did recognize the drive in Disk Manager, and it was ready to be used. I was lucky to have Acronis 2016 that I could install and use easily. It installed this drive with Acronis, and it picked MBR as a Format type. I did want to try GPT, but my PC (HP Z420) might not be capable. The Cloning went quickly and worked great. I also used the Crucial Storage Executive and turned on the two features to increase speed (does take about 70 to 100GB). Drive worked fine and Windows seemed to accept the Clone. Looking online there are a number of people who had trouble with the Crucial Acronis Software, this seems to be a problem. This was not an easy swap and it took several hours due to the problems. After install (clone) I started getting a CHKDSK being run automatically. It would freeze up at 100% and not continue until a reboot. I started over from scratch. Fresh format, Windows 10 OS, updates, loaded back all my programs and now everything works great and fast. Still giving this a 5-Star rating given the performance and overall process. Cloning next to never works without some kind of trouble.

## 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.

Regarding your question, the hardware encryption is the same as the Veracrypt sw encryption, so there is no difference with the two.

**Q: is it compatible with ps 4 pro?**
A: Yes. I have installed this drive "1TB MX500" in a PS4 Pro without issue and with great results. 20% fasterish loading screens, Texture popin becomes non existent, OS is more fluid and installs of game updates is 50% faster.

*If attempting to go above 4TB on the internal drive, I would recommend you look into additional compatibility issues. Anything sub 4 terabyte this is perfect.

**Q: Question for seller: which shipping companies do you use (usps / amazon / ups / fedex etc)?**
A: USPS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ solidly reliable and high capacity SSD drive
*by S***L on May 11, 2023*

I bought three of these Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD drives to install in a recently acquired HP Core i7 desktop. My goal is to eventually phase out a full tower PC that I built in 2012. It handles my video and audio servers and has a solid state boot drive, along with 7 spinning hard drives for data. This HP has a considerably smaller case and my goal was to fill it with high capacity SSD drives. I've always been a fan of the Crucial line of SSD drives, and I've never had one go bad. All three of these Crucial 4 tb drives were installed to SATA headers on the motherboard, and I was able to fit all of them in what is a one foot tall mini desktop tower. Installing these drives is very easy, plug in a sata cable plus a power cable to each, and they're good to go. I used 3m two sided tape, the kind used to hang pictures, to stick the drives to flat surfaces inside the case. They are very light and compact, I just made sure to keep some air around each drive and not bunch them together. Once they were installed, I closed up the case and turned on the computer. I opened disk manager and partitioned and formatted each of the new drives. They will be used as data drives. The computer came with a 1TB M.2 as the boot drive, so the total solid state drive capacity for the computer is 13 TB. I spent some time copying my audio database of over one thousand CD's ripped into lossless format files, as well as my video database of movies and music videos. My 2012 build full tower with it's spinning hard drives holding the data, worked well for many years. This new one with all ssd drives, works much better. Each audio or video file loads noticeably faster than on the old server, plus there are no spinning hard drives making noise. I downloaded the "Crucial Storage Executive" software from the Crucial website that is very helpful. It checks the firmware revision you have and updates it if needed. All three of mine came with the "45' version of the firmware. I had it update to the latest "46" version which took less than 30 seconds. The photo with this review shows my new media server loaded with 13 tb of solid state drive capacity, including three of the Crucial SATA ssd's. They are fast, cool running and should have a very long life.
