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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

I bought three discs at once, one 512 and two 256 each, fell for the name, price and 3-year warranty. on all three, one picture a minute after the start of continuous recording, the speed drops in one step from 460 Mb \ s to 180-220 and then keeps at this value. if the process is suspended (pause) and continued after 20 seconds, then the speed is again more than 400 for several seconds, and then falls like an avalanche to 200 from this I concluded that the problem is overheating of the controller or chips. so it turned out. one point on the bottom side, close to the contacts, overheats locally. Obviously, all hard drives from a certain factory have this drawback. Unfortunately, there is no photo of which factory the wheels are from. I'll try to take a picture in the store and add a review.

Pros
  • DO NOT TAKE! 5 years warranty. in the photos green chart reading speed brown graph write speed the photo shows the results of three different discs. tested on various devices. The discs were returned under warranty.
Cons
  • the continuous write speed drops to 200 megabytes per second. significant overheating of the controller (a point is felt through the case on the underside close to the connectors.) OVERHEATING THE CONTROLLER usually leads to sudden and irreversible death of the ssd
