The Crucial MX500 has been around for a long time now. However, the MX500 is still one of the best SSDs, especially if you're on the market for a SATA-based drive. For a limited time, the MX500 can be yours for just $160.54, $39.45 off its normal price.
The MX500 comes in the 2.5-inch form factor, making it an excellent upgrade even for older systems, whether they be desktops or laptops. Although bound by the SATA interface, the MX500 is leagues ahead of a conventional hard drive.
The MX500 comfortably delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 560 MB/s and 510 MB/s, respectively. With 2TB of storage space, you can use it as your primary storage or a second drive to offload your information, backups or Steam library.
The MX500 comes with great reliability, and the drive will last for years as long as you're not abusing it with professional-class workloads or doing extreme things, like mining Chia coin. Crucial backs the MX500 with a limited five-year warranty. The MX500 can absorb 700 TB of data, which works out to around 383GB per day over the course of five years.
