\n \n \n\nNice catch OP.

\nI bought one of these from Best Buy at a higher price a few months ago and installed it in an older all-in-one to breathe a little longer life into the computer. Performs well. Much faster boot up and shut down times. For anyone with a conventional spinning disk hard drive and wishing to improve on a budget, an SSD is a no brainer.

\nJust yesterday I stopped by Microcenter and picked up their $20 512gb Inland SSD for an older desktop. Had I seen this, I might've spent a little more given the higher performance.","hideTimestamp":false,"timestampFormatted":"11-10-2022 at 09:14 AM.","permalink":"/f/16169173-500gb-crucial-mx500-3d-nand-2-5-internal-solid-state-drive-ssd-43-free-shipping?p=158890060#post158890060","postId":158890060},"commentSectionCommentFooter":[],"commentIsHelpful":null,"commentGiveRepPopover":{"username":"maddog55","userAvatar":"/images/avatar-150.png","headline":"Say Thanks & Give Rep!","subtext":"","authorText":"maddog55 posted this comment.

\n \n \n Quote\n from bieberwhole69\n \n \n \n \n :\n \n 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. \nsaying this is a good price is like saying the 2TB at $170 is a good price.. i dunno. \n \nwaiting for the 2TB to drop to $112 again... now that's actually a deal\n \n

\nYeah, I picked up the 2TB from BestBuy for $111 to replace the MX500 1 TB. love it.
