Review on Crucial MX500 500GB Internal SSD - Lightning Fast Speeds up to 560MB/s by Mateusz Wodarczyk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Well, in general, he came to replace my 256 GB plextor in a macbook, which had been there for about 5 years. I didn’t expect anything new from this disk, but the speed grew a little (500z \ 550cht), mine showed 350-400 \ 400-450. I chose the disk only to increase the space, since the old one was packed to zero. Some write that they supposedly need to keep 20% free. But then I have a question - why do you need a disk then? Let's not use the battery, work from the network so as not to change it. But probably still keeping the disk under zero is also wrong, caching there, and so on. I have a poppy, so there is no cache there, which can be connected in Windows, supposedly it will work faster. In general, they wrote here that ssd is fast only until the moment when the cache is not clogged (20-25 GB on tlc nand), then the speeds drop to 100mb (if suddenly someone else lives in fairy tales;))) Given all of the above, I chose 3 days tired, climbed the forums, the vast majority of people aka "call-boys" recommended taking WD they say "company", and to my questions why in all Western tests it is Crucial the best of the budget and at the level of 960 evo at reasonable downloads, they answered that "in 2022 they send us all counterfeit goods." Again, in such conditions, you can take a patriot (and by the way, the guys put a lot of them in the server rooms, because, well, the memory and controllers are the same), but I decided not to risk it, pay an extra thousand, let it be crush. The second week, the flight is normal.

Pros
  • Speed. Exactly 500 GB.
Cons
  • Until I see
