    I know this SSD gets posted quite often, but for those unfamiliar with the drive here are the highlights:

    1) One of the top 2.5" SSDs (probably barely 3rd behind 860 and 870 Evo)
    2) Has DRAM
    3) 5 year warranty
    4) Primarily for older systems that cannot use NVMe or M.2
    5) Fakes on Amazon? Maybe, but I've never met anyone who actually received a fake. Neither have I received one from my 3 purchases. You can always check with Crystal Disk Benchmark to verify it has the correct speeds.

    probably alone on this one... but imo, this isn't a good price.. yeah it's a solid brand and model, but the 1TB should be at this price or around the $50ish mark. imo the 500GB should be around $30-35.
    saying this is a good price is like saying the 2TB at $170 is a good price.. i dunno.

    waiting for the 2TB to drop to $112 again... now that's actually a deal

    Might be new standard pricing? Saw this 2 weeks ago on Amazon on my wishlist, and other vendors are also having it at this price point.

    Not surprising to see these things are still overpriced.

    Shills will keep on shilling. This is a horrible deal. This is what prices were in 2017.
    I don't think this is being shilled. I checked my purchase history and I've bought several of these from Amazon for $47-$51 (just buying whenever I need them) and while $42 is a good price, I'm surprised it's "Front Page" material. The MX series is the better quality, I've never touched the BX. I've installed over 70+ of them at this point for my customers, and never had one s**t the bed yet. Great drive, fair price.

    Cyber Monday is almost here though. Might as well wait to see if we get better deals?

    Thanks OP, this *is a good price for 500gb -and has all the attributes I hunt- but i'll patiently wait for 1tb deals around BF. For $14 more I was able to double the capacity only two weeks ago off amazon. Cheers

    I got a fake one on Amazon that died within two days. Didn't realize it was fake until I started researching it's early death. Bought one in person locally. Great product.

    That's a PNY version not a Crucial. Personally for me I don't like PNY. They have always been crap and given me problems recalling data. But if others don't have an issue with PNY maybe it will work for them. But this Crucial one is much better.

    Quote from Solkre :
    Man, I want cheap 4TB models of these so bad.
    While it may not be a huge deal, be aware that the 4TB model has some downgrades, compared to the smaller variants. Most notably, the DRAM:NAND ratio is only 1/8th that of the smaller models. It has only 512MB, compared to the 4GB that it should have. There is also some additional latency because the drive has more NAND than the controller is designed to handle. That's not to say it's a bad drive, just very different from the other MX500s.

    Quote from sutton2 :
    Published endurance for 500GB = 180 TBW. A bit low. Is the NAND TLC or QLC?? Does Crucial retain the right to switch the hardware without changing the model number??
    Technically, the hardware has already changed a couple times but not in a bad way. The original variant used the SMI SM2258 controller. It was later swapped for the SM2259 (which is almost identical but supports newer NAND). All variants use Micron 3D TLC but it has gone from 64 layer, to 96 layer, to 176 layer. The warranted endurance numbers have not changed since the drive was originally released. Crucial seems to be quite conservative with their endurance ratings.

    Quote from c3688t :
    I was going to buy this and then decided on the 1TB BX500, it's $61 right now as well on amazon. FYI
    You may regret that. The BX500 is a notoriously problematic drive. It's the only SSD I've ever had issues with and I'm not alone.

    Quote from ratero90 :
    I got a fake one on Amazon that died within two days. Didn't realize it was fake until I started researching it's early death. Bought one in person locally. Great product.
    How did you determine the one from Amazon was fake? All the ones I've bought from Amazon have been genuine (not that there couldn't be fakes).
