I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

If it were not for the formal thermal pads, then the MX500 would recommend for everyone to install an SSD in a system with SATA 3, and not just for those who are not afraid to open the case to fix the manufacturer's mistake that saved $0.5. For systems with SATA 2, I recommend not to overpay and ask the price of the BX500, laptop owners can immediately send its plastic case to the trash and thereby gain in cooling and weight.

Pros

Having tried, it was possible to find on sale at one of the most attractive prices. Own production (daughter), fame and balanced price / performance indicators in the SATA SSD segment. Aluminium case.

Cons

Poor cooling system consisting of 2 thermal pads (approximately 1 cm square) with the aim of "so as not to rumble". I had to correct the selection of copper gaskets.
