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

Product Information

The capacity of an SSD indicates the measure of its available storage. The Samsung 870 EVO is available in five capacity variants- 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB. However, when discussing an SSD’s capacity, you need to consider the TBW measures as well. TBW or Terabytes Written indicates how many terabytes of data an SSD can write in its lifetime. 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. 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.

Simply put, both the Samsung 870 EVO and Crucial MX500 have a speed limit of 600MB/s as both use the SATA protocol. However, Samsung 870 EVO SSDs offer 530MB/s sequential writing speed, which is 20MB/s more than the Crucial MX500 SSDs. Also, Samsung 870 EVO is more expensive than the Crucial MX500, which is also a factor to consider.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.

In addition, you can also choose to test the disk performance by yourself through the Disk Benchmark feature of MiniTool Partition Wizard. When choosing a hard drive or a solid-state drive, the performance would be one of the most important factors to be considered. An SSD with good performance may enable your computer to run faster and improve PC performance.

For read speeds, the MX500 is up there with the likes of the Samsung 870 EVO, arguably the best SATA SSD you can buy. The write speeds are a little disappointing, though, coming in lower than Samsung by about 25MB/s in our tests. This isn't a huge deal and not one you'll notice in everyday use. But the competition is still faster. The same is true of the random read and write scores, both handily behind Samsung's performance. Crucial BX500 comes with five different capacities, yet Crucial MX500 comes with four different capacities. Both of them can reach up to 2TB.
