Review on 💾 Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA - High Speed Internal SSD 540MB/s by Amber Perez

Greetings readers. Some time has passed since the purchase of my gaming laptop, and now we can draw conclusions regarding the additional components that the author put into it immediately after purchase: this is an additional RAM chip and this ssd drive. Initially, the laptop already had a 1TB hard drive as a second drive, but considering that it is already the 2020th century and nothing in laptops should buzz, vibrate or stand out in any way in terms of noise - this hard drive went to "live" in an external hard drive box as a drive that stores backup copies of my music collections and so on. Yes, yes, I think that now in any laptop (if possible) - the drive configuration should be completely from solid state drives. Well, of course, if you, like me, suffer from a little paranoia and are afraid of a short circuit that will destroy your ssd - store data on hard drives, but separately from the laptop. As in the previous case, the configuration of my drives looks (and always will look) as follows: I bought this ssd for bonuses from buying a laptop, and of course I could again buy the version from A-data, which so far have not let me down and are sometimes cheaper - but for the sake of a new experience, I decided to take a chance and share my experience with you. Outwardly, there is nothing special about it - I think it makes no sense to invest in a "wrapper" of what you will not even see 95% of the time of use. So I'll start with temperatures: in idle time, the temperature stays around 30-35 degrees But even when playing games, it does not seriously heat up. For example, I launched Devil May Cry 5 and took this screenshot: The temperature did not rise above 37 degrees, which is good news. Specifically, in terms of read-write speeds, at the moment everything looks like this: Also, according to the test of linear recording of this drive, performed in AIDA64, I did not do so well. This drive recorded in its entirety in 43 minutes at a fairly low speed (about 100 Mb / s). However, I will warn readers and say right away - despite the same box - inside the chips can be different. It all depends on the revision. Earlier before the purchase, I saw the same test of the same drive - the results were completely different. In short, it’s how lucky and yet the drive serves me well and is overwritten quite often ... we hope that this will last as long as possible :) In general, I recommend it, as well as, for example, A-data in the 240GB version and like any solid-state drive - after all, the times when there was a frequent marriage are long gone and, in general, tests and "questions about speeds" rest on personal feelings - if the OS loads quickly , transfer-write-read files do not cause discomfort - take it and use it.
