In-house memory is a plus
After the release of the unsuccessful MX300 model, in which Crucial acted according to the rules of rivals, abandoning the Marvell controllers, the company decided to start everything from scratch and instead of the MX400 model, they immediately released the MX500. This SSD is based on a 64-layer TLC 3D NAND memory of its own production, the Silicon Motion SM2258 controller is used to manage this goodness, which has learned better how to manage this type of memory and has acquired more efficient SLC caching algorithms compared to earlier Silicon Motion chips.
Almost twin brother SSD Crucial BX50
The data sheet of the MX500 is almost the same as that of its twin brother Crucial BX500, which we tested a year earlier. For both, the “straightforward” passport write and read speed exceeds a little over 500 MB / s, and the IOPS indicators just do not reach 100K. In synthetic tests, the MX500 showed almost the same 498 MB / s with linear writes and all 555 MB / s during file reading. And also, as expected, it dipped in speed when the cache was completely filled. Like most low-cost drives, active write operations of data arrays are not their forte.
People's favorite
At one time, Crucial presented the MX500 as a new people's favorite. 3 years after the release, we can say that their plan really worked. And even though the young, fast, and evil M.2 SSDs are coming from all sides, Crucial's old-fashioned SATA SSDs are not losing their positions in the market, and even by the end of 2021, they continue to be in the top 10 most popular SSDs on ek.ua. And this despite the fact that the first places in the sales ranking were staked out by numerous Samsung Evo models. With that said, we think the MX500 would be the perfect choice for a low-cost gaming PC.
