$54.00
+3 Deal Score
7,750 Views
AAAWave [aaawave.com] has the well regarded Crucial MX500 at previous FP prices.

1TB - $84.99 [aaawave.com]
500GB - $53.90 [aaawave.com]

AAAWave is a legit Google Trusted store with a rating of 4.6/5.0

You can also purchase the 500GB via Google Shopping with Google Guarantee from this vendor for the same price. I cannot seem to link it directly from here.

Looks like limited quantities. < 20.
Good Deal?

I got one in that deal but these connection.com deals are either pricing mistakes which are honored or extremely rare and one-of.

These units have never been at that level anytime before or after. This is the lowest I have seen for this one but there have been several at this price. So to vote this down as not a good price is silly.

The significance of this pricing is really to compare it against the typical dram-less SSDs without US warranty service that keep popping up here for not a lot less.

You can return and buy this but not sure it is worth it for $6. Unless it is the principle… Smilie

So this one is also DRAM-less?
Then what's the current or most recent SSD deal with DRAM?
TIA

This one has DRAM. The point is that you can get mid-level performance from a reputable company with DRAM for not much more than the DRAM-less ones from budget vendors some of them with no US warranty service.

thanks !
But then why isn't this deal on fire? Price is high?
I have seen better TU score for other SSD deals lately like Patriot and TeamGroup which are DRAM-less then why isn't this one on fire?

Exactly,
So Crucial being one of the most reputable brands, why isn't this deal getting love?​
Is it the price or this series has slower I/O speeds or some other reason?

Some other reason. This ain't a push deal like others from some brands or stores. Smilie
