1) One of the top 2.5" SSDs (probably barely 3rd behind the Samsung 860 and 870 Evos)
2) Has DRAM
3) 5 year warranty
4) Lower TBW that other similar 2.5" drives, but it would take 98GB written every day for 5 years to reach the TBW (for the 500GB model). If we are being honest, you will probably never hit that limit.
5) Primarily for older systems that cannot use NVMe or M.2.
6) 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.
having said that as unique panther pointed out the m.2 is faster and right now the m.2 crucial p3 drive is selling for $63 as well if your motherboard has a m.2. slot on it

I have heard one plausible (but not confirmed) claim of receiving a fake MX500 from Amazon. I would NOT depend on CrystalDiskMark to determine if it's fake. There are plenty of garbage drives that produce impressive benchmarks, until the pSLC cache fills up. Though I would not recommend this to most people, the simplest way would be to open the drive and make sure it has the right components. The MX500 can be opened without breaking any seals or clips. It just has 4 screws.
For instance, I needed to clone a slower pre-installed 256GB NVMe drive over to a faster 1TB NVMe drive (that would then replace the stock one as the primary system drive). With both NVMe drives installed to the motherboard internally, connected my old Crucial MX SSD via SATA III to USB A adapter to a USB port on the PC. Since the program needs to "see" a Crucial MX or BX drive "installed" on your system in order to run (for free), it let me use Acronis True Image for Crucial to do the clone job I needed done on the two NVMe drives (neither were Crucial branded). Once done, I unplugged the old Crucial MX drive from the USB port and back into storage it went.

TL;DR - Keep an old Crucial BX or MX drive around if you like using Acronis to perform cloning and backup jobs.

SSDs are so cheap now, I wouldn't buy flash drives unless the small form factor is required for your usage.

Absolutely I have a few in plastic 2.5" drive USB enclosures that I do the same with (mostly older 128GB - 256GB drives that aren't in use anymore). They're flat/compact enough to slide into a pocket of most laptop bags quite conveniently (or even a big enough pant pocket, if one is so included).
I'd like to get a replacement for an old (6+ years) SSD, which SMART is saying has "Life Remaining" at 28 with a threshold of 10. Not sure what that exactly means, but considering its age, I'm guessing it's nearing the end even though it hasn't really shown any problems yet. I plan to repurpose the old SSD as a USB3 drive using an enclosure I have laying around.

Why not just buy it and return later if the price really goes down. This is the lowest I've seen it in a while.
