So any talks of inflation and shortages of SSDs are premature or temporary.

OUR VERDICT
Crucial's BX500 is a cheap option that will outperform any HDD as a boot drive, but it comes with drawbacks. The BX500's low endurance and application performance rank far behind most current-gen SSDs in the market. Pricing is competitive, but there are much better options available for just a few dollars more, including Crucial's own MX500, making this drive hard to recommend.
FOR
Strong sequential burst performance
Low cost
Supporting software
AGAINST
Lower than average application performance
Low endurance
Low sustained write performance
