Review on Crucial BX500 480GB SATA Internal SSD πŸ’Ύ with 3D NAND Technology, Up to 540MB/s - CT480BX500SSD1Z by Mei Zhou ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

Overall - I would give 4.5 stars. Crusher has throttling when overheated. Choosing the next SSD for myself, I refused to crash, due to the fact that there is no sensible support. When you go to the crash site, you will not find any service centers, no support phones, no email support. But in general, for those who do not have an M2 slot with NVME support, this is an excellent option, and I repeat that this disk has a fairly high reliability. Defended in the laptop, which is very actively used (including tanks are played on it) for more than a year - and the lifespan shows 95%. Which I think is very good. For SATA SSD - the disk is good. But I repeat that the disk can throttle when heated in poorly ventilated systems (laptops). In the hospital, when he hung out while transferring data to a new disk, there were no problems. About support. Yes, the disk is still working stably for me. But! A friend had a transend, she bought it at KC Key, which closed that year. CSN sent it with a guarantee, and the transend had to receive a guarantee through the mail to Taiwan. From the moment of contacting the transend by e-mail, until the moment the goods were returned, it took about 8 months. (problems with the work of mail in covid reality) As a result, I decided for myself that I don’t take anything else, that I don’t have a SC in the country of location. Therefore, this item made me refuse to consider the transend, crusher and other manufacturers who do not have their own SC. The store's guarantee is good, but who knew that such giants as Kay, Ulmart would collapse? Therefore, think about this moment also when choosing any device for yourself.

Pros
  • Reliability!
Cons
  • Crooked software, lack of full manufacturer support

As long as it pleases. Installed and set up with no problems. 100 GB. copied quickly, did not blunt. The maximum noticed a temperature of 48 degrees, but it is now +30 outside. I took it for games, hard fully justified itself.

With its pros. Excellent value for money Doesn't get very hot With its cons. As expected, like other ssds, as it fills up, the speed drops
