silently downgrading them is how 512MB dram instead of 1GB. 2-4TB Models have QLC variants.

I like your thinking, and I would certainly love to see this selling at $25... However, I have a feeling that somewhere around $35 is probably the hard floor for this. I think the reason we are seeing prices fall right now is because of an over supply of nand flash. Since they are currently making significant cuts to production, I worry that a correction in the other direction will be coming soon. My suggestion would be if you think you will need this in the next year, I would buy now!

This is a well known bug. There needs to be some drive activity for the firmware update to work. Counter to the usual wisdom, you'll want to do something like run a benchmark on the drive while attempting the firmware update. It worked for me and many others.

While other 1tb 2.5 inch drives have been cheaper, this MX500 is one of the better drives that you can get. This is a good deal.

The price differential between this and the Samsung 870 evo in the same form factor is now about $29. That's steep. I was hoping that Crucial's price drop would put some pressure on Samsung to lower their prices.

This was the price for the WD blue 1TB mechanical drive forever at one time. Maybe this will be the new WD blue OG replacement drive

Super reliable, still using the 500gb for 3 years now in my laptop, and still as fast as the first day when it got put in.

FYI you can buy a case for this and use it as a 1TB external drive also.
