BX has no DRAM cache, hence life is shorter than MX.

This is a DRAM-less based SSD which makes it not as good as the SK Hynix drive. However, unless you are a power user, the average person will not notice the difference in day to day use.

so for ps5 storage game is perfect ?
Sure. I was thinking the same thing but I might just wait to put the money towards an internal expansion SSD once they enable that.

It says regular price is $68.49, so the Prime deal saves $3.43?

Quote from karazi :
any reason why aside from losing a port and increased risk of failure i wouldn't RAID 2 of the 1tb to get a 2tb for $25 less than the 2tb drive?
No, but some might say the $17 is worth the port and the less risk.

Also 3-yr warranty vs 5-yr. Gives you an indication about the reliability (MTBF/TBW).

Quote from mickybluesb :
Life is shorter as someone said if your a power user, meaning. Doing 4K video editing renders every day for the next 5 years. I bet you the crucial BX would survive it by then. Realistically it would be hard to kill one of these for the average person. Plus BX drives have a much nicer controller in them so the lack of a Dram cache doesn't matter that muchunit

CCC shows lowest price was $83 last year.

This would be great for an Xbox user (after puting it into an enclosure or using a SATA to usb cable). External SSDs on Xbox One games are way faster than spinning hdds.

I use and external SSD for Xbox one/360/OG Xbox games on my Series X. Frees up my precious internal drive space and older games don't really benefit from the super fast Series X drive. Then I have a regular huge external HDD for storing games I'm not currently playing.

I don't care how cheap it is, I would avoid the Crucial BX500 like the plague. I've never used a worse SSD and I've used plenty of low-end DRAM-less drives. It slows down to ungodly speeds with even the most basic use. Even with the drive relatively empty (<20% full), overprovisioned, and TRIM-enabled it will slow down to the point where it takes 10 seconds to open Notepad and 30+ seconds to open Firefox. None of the SMART attributes seem to indicate anything wrong, or an irregular wear pattern (like some report in the MX500). Over a period of weeks, it just gets horrendously slow. The ONLY solution I've found is to wipe the drive, even if it's just to re-image the same exact data back to it. I have seen several other people report the same behavior.

Taking my chance that the Crucial P5 will be supported once the m.2 is enabled!
