Crucial Starts Shipping Full MX500 SSD Line

The full Crucial MX500 SSD product line rolled out to retailers while we were away at CES 2018. The company initially shipped the MX500 1TB 2.5" to create a buzz and to get early reviews out. The MX500 250GB, 500GB, and 2TB drives hit online retail websites just days ago at Crucial's suggested pricing. The MX500 M.2 drives also show as available in all but the 2TB capacity size. Crucial will stop at 1TB, for now, in the M.2 form factor,  so don't look for an M.2 2TB model anytime soon. 

With all capacities shipping, shoppers can take a serious look at the MX500. Prices start at just $80 for the 250GB. The MX500 500GB costs $140 and is a great value for casual users. Gamers will want to look for the 1TB model at $260, but Steam hoarders with an even higher budget should consider the 2TB at $500.

    An affordable 1 TB SSD!?
    All of my future system builds will be back to just 1 drive.

    Yep! And the price / Gb goes down as the size increases, so no any more luxury tax for big ssd in there! That is a good thing!

    But the 2TB M.2 is the only one I'd really be interested in.
