Quote from theshopper2022 :
My 2TB purchased in December has slower random write and read speeds compared with other reviews for earlier purchases. So on the 2TB, parts were switched, not sure on the 4TB.
There are at least three variants of the 2TB MX500. You can likely tell what hardware it has by the firmware version.

M3CR02x (or lower) - SMI 2258 + 2GB DRAM + 64-layer Micron TLC

M3CR03x - SMI 2259 + not sure the DRAM ratio for this one + 96-layer Micron TLC

M3CR04x - SMI 2259 + 512MB DRAM + 176-layer Micron TLC

To my knowledge, the 4TB version has only ever been sold with the SMI 2259 + 512MB DRAM + 176-layer Micron TLC. Because this model has more NAND than the controller is designed to handle, there may be a slight performance penalty.

is there a reason to get this over m.2 at the same or similar price range?
You don't have any open m.2 slots and you want to use your slower SATA ports.

Quote from Daddys-worki :
not trying to argue, but might be worth looking at what openzfs has to say. fwiw, freenas forums do have great info, but not always the most knowledgeable folks, and plenty of folklore floating in them
https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs...dware.html [github.io]
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/...rotection/ [reddit.com]
The OpenZFs link you gave doesnt even list MX500 as having PLP.
Even your Reddit link show it doesnt have it..
Quote :
Crucial MX series drives do not have power loss protection that is equivalent to what enterprise SSDs have. That's why Crucial refers to it as "partial power loss protection" or "power loss immunity".
I understand you feel gipped for having purchased MX drives but youre right, you bought into the folklore.

Not these days, at least on the consumer line. The old WD Blue 3D/SanDisk Ultra 3D was supposedly a good drive. It was replaced by the vastly inferior (DRAM-less, with unknown NAND) and problem prone WD Blue SA510. There is nothing compelling about that drive.
Ok well their nvme drives are still decent.

HP in the list? Crucial dead last? This is an obvious troll post.
Not dead last, lots of other brands I'd put behind it such as sk hynix, corsair, inland, kingston, adata, team, pny, patriot etc. I do like patriot thumb drives though

Do you have suggestions for drives with PLP? Looking for two for a proxmox os drive. I don't really care about size.

Id go for these: Intel DC S3500/S3510/S3610/S3700/S3710
Theyre still supported through Solidigm.
I have the PCIE versions for them and theyve been solid.
