Review: It's a pretty good drive. - Would I recommend this SSD? Yes, I've had it for a little over a month now and I've had no issues. (I bought the 500 GB version and am only talking about the 500 GB version) I would recommend you also check if you want a different similarly priced SSD. (This entire review is talking about the 500 GB versions of each drive as of January 2021) For example: The ADATA SU760 $52.99 https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B07TDW86SQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I included a picture of the performance of my brother's drive that he has been using for many months now) The ADATA SU800 $54.99 https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B01K8A29CS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I don't know anyone who has one, so I can't say how good it is from experience, but the overall star rating is pretty good) The Samsung 860 EVO $54.99 https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0781Z7Y3S/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_voubGb4T4G14K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (It's a Samsung drive so it will usually be high quality but it's not always in stock) *If the links don't work I'm not fixing them, just search the name of the drive. Why I bought it (please skip if you do not care): I have a laptop that had a hard drive. The hard drive would blue screen like once a month for a few months before it decided to completely brick itself. It would blue screen about 1 minute after booting. It would still let me boot into safe mode without blue screening but I couldn't use wifi so there was no point. I could no longer write to the drive. I have a HP laptop and since they come with HP hardware diagnostic tools, I was able to determine that the problem was the drive and not something else. I bought this drive just because it was the first one I saw that would arrive the next day. My laptop broke on Friday and I was able to get it working before school on Monday. Instillation (Drive and Windows): Installing the drive was very easy for me because I have a good amount of computer knowledge. This drive and my old hard drive are exactly the same size so all I had to do was remove my old drive. Then I took the vibration cover off the hard drive, this cover also held the drive in place. I put the cover on my SSD and slid it into the drive area. It fit tightly in there just like my old hard drive. After that, I turned on my computer and went to the bios to make sure it would boot off of a usb. I plugged in my window install usb and the computer was able to boot into the windows install manager. I was able to painlessly install and boot into windows 10. My old windows used secure boot but the new windows used legacy boot so I did have to change that in to bios to be able to boot. Since I have an HP laptop my virtual windows license automatically transferred to the fresh install of windows. Performance: I have uploaded 2 pictures of this drive's performance. The performance is as advertised and the differences could be do to a lot of different things. In day to day tasks it is a lot faster and smoother then my old hard drive with 16 gb of optane. Windows boot time is significantly faster. Downloading, transferring, and unzipping files is a lot faster. Being able to use my computer while windows is updating in the background is also nice. For gaming, don't expect a significant improvement in most games. Maybe your load times will be a bit faster but most games just don't really rely on your drive. Overall: This drive has not given me any issues over the month that I have owned it. I highly recommend buying it.
Review: Great value and quality! - I've run this drive in my Thinkpad T560 for over a year, installation was easy and it has worked perfectly. Great boot times, quick file transfers, and has had no issues so far. Great value for such a high quality drive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the M series and the B series?**
A: The MX Crucial SSD storage series has one of the most generous dynamic SLC dynamic DRAM cache which helps make a map of the drives buffer contents; for example if one gets the 4Tb model that comes with 4Gb of DRAM storage, 2Tb that comes with 2Gb of DRAM storage and 1Tb that comes with 1Gb of DRAM storage; that helps with buffering up ones data stream which serves to smooth out ones data streaming experience; the MX Crucial SSD storage series also has a much better endurance rating on the 2Tb of 700Tbw versus BX of only 240Tbw largely because of its new 64/96 layer 3D NAND technology that directly challenges even the highly popular much more expensive Samsung EVO series line of SSD's; the BX Crucial SSD storage series has a five year warranty vs MX series only three year warranty; the MX Crucial SSD storage series has built-in hardware based AES 256-bit encryption controller also as well; just go with the MX Crucial SSD storage series as one is getting quite a lot of worthwhile great added extra value added features and also extra value added reliable performance that is a mere on average only $10 added per 1 Tb SSD storage which approaches the near feature and value added SSD storage feature set of even the Samsung EVO series.

**Q: Is the hardware encryption more secure than Veracrypt software encryption?**
A: Dear client,

thank you for contacting us, it will be a pleasure helping you.

Regarding your question, the hardware encryption is the same as the Veracrypt sw encryption, so there is no difference with the two.

 In case of any questions or doubts do not hesitate to contact us.

**Q: is it compatible with ps 4 pro?**
A: Yes. I have installed this drive "1TB MX500" in a PS4 Pro without issue and with great results. 20% fasterish loading screens, Texture popin becomes non existent, OS is more fluid and installs of game updates is 50% faster.

*If attempting to go above 4TB on the internal drive, I would recommend you look into additional compatibility issues. Anything sub 4 terabyte this is perfect.

**Q: Question for seller: which shipping companies do you use (usps / amazon / ups / fedex etc)?**
A: USPS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value and quality!
*by U***K on November 1, 2025*

I've run this drive in my Thinkpad T560 for over a year, installation was easy and it has worked perfectly. Great boot times, quick file transfers, and has had no issues so far. Great value for such a high quality drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Faster computer startup time. Great value.
*by ·***· on May 30, 2020*

I just installed CT1000MX500SSD1 and it performed as expected. I installed this in my 7 year old HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t Desktop PC which had Windows 7 (now Windows 10) with an Intel i7 3770 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. At the time, I had no need for a SSD drive as it booted up in 30 seconds at the time of purchase. Over the years with Windows update and upgrade, the boot time increased progressively. I resorted to just hibernating the computer as it was faster than turning it off/on. Now it's about 1.5 minutes and even after signing into my account and after waking from hibernation or a restart. It was less responsive due to all the background services at startup. Opening a simple web browser was sluggish. I had to wait about 5-7 minutes before the system would become more responsive. Last week, I finally decided to upgrade to a SSD as the price has gone down. I was trying to decide between this and one of the Samsung 860 1TB SSD models. The price of the Samsung was a little higher with slightly better performance than this one, but I didn't need the fastest SSD. In my mind this and Samsung were both relatively fast. I chose this one as the best value at the advertised price. The drive came with a small manual and a drive spacer. I did not need the spacer for my desktop. I also bought this drive together with the suggest dual mount kit and a separate SATA III data cable. There was no need to purchase the SATA to USB adapter for my situation as I already had the extra room and with data and power connector inside the desktop. The drive installation was not difficult. The online directions for the migration process were helpful. I wished that the online directions would have displayed separate instructions for notebook/laptop users since they are more likely to benefit from a SATA to USB adater. I downloaded the Acronis True Image 202 0 version for Crucial from the link provided through the enclosed manual. There was no need for a special key to be entered for activation. The software contains the essential features required for the migration process. For Crucial users, a full version can be purchased for an additional fee. I don't see the need for it yet, but it's good to know that they provide the option in case I would like to purchase it in the future. The migration was simple but not as intuitive. If I was cloning the drive directly, it would have been perfect. I chose the manual route to resize the partitions on my target drive and took a little longer. The software instructions didn't really explain very well on how to resize the partitions manually. I had to play around with the settings before getting it to resize the way I wanted it. Ensure that all other applications are closed before committing to the cloning process as the partition will be locked down without additional confirmation. The transfer process estimated that it would take about 4-5 hours, but when I came back an hour later, it was already done. The system reboot was then required. I had to go into the BIOS and switch the boot drive to the Crucial SSD. It definitely booted up faster and the system was not sluggish during startup. The GUI was ready for me immediately. Afterwards, the Storage Executive installation was recommended. The Momentum Cache was a nice feature, but have not enabled it yet. As for overprovisioning, if I had known that it required dedicated space, I would have reserved some before the migration process. After searching on the Internet, I didn't really need the OP feature anyways. I just have to remember not to fill the drive to the max and allow for some room as a swap space like the disk hard drive, but if I do ever get to that point down the road, I can upgrade or add another drive. The computer now boots up faster with about 30 seconds from off/on and 20 seconds with hibernation. I didn't really care to test the read/write speed but the faster boot time definitely renewed the life of my desktop. I would rate the SSD as 5 star and the migration software as 4.5 star.
