    It should work. This is a 2.5" SATA SSD and only requires 5V. I've never seen a consumer SSD or 2.5" drive that requires 12V.



    Nothing I've ever seen in the consumer realm.



    The P3 is a DRAM-less (but supports HMB), QLC, NVMe drive. The MX500 has DRAM (512MB), TLC, and is SATA. Technically, the MX500 should theoretically be more reliable, due to the TLC NAND and presence of DRAM. Reality could be different.

    The performance characteristics can be quite different. The NVMe P3 will have much higher peaks but may have lower lows. When the pSLC write cache is filled, peak sequential writes could drop from >3GB/s to as low as 100MB/s. The MX500 will never reach speeds much beyond 500MB/s (due to the SATA bus) but probably won't drop much, even when the pSLC is full. Realistically, if you're not doing lots of large writes, you probably won't notice a difference. Personally, I'd favor the MX500.

    Wasn't this $5 cheaper from somewhere else just a few days ago? Black Friday sucks so far this year. They marking prices up instead of down.

    I checked a few sites, and the universal response was that any normal 2.5" sata ssd is going to solely use 5v.

    Seems like a safe buy (plus easy return if needed)

    Thanks so much. I went with the MX500 4TB. I have a Samsung 980 Pro as an OS drive.
