Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - Up To 560MB/s - CT4000MX500SSD1

Product Information

We topped 4.1GB/s in bandwidth with eight Crucial MX500 4TB SATA SSDs in RAID5. That’s pretty darn impressive all things considered. The MX500 SSD comes in a silver aluminum enclosure and utilizes the SATA III 6Gbps interface but it is compatible with SATA II and SATA I interfaces, but that means it will work at a reduced speed. The MX500 500GB SSD has a write endurance of 180TB (TBW) which is almost half of what the 870 EVO 500GB can offer (300TB TBW).

Solid-state drives can be a cost-effective alternative to replacing older servers. While going all Gen4 NVMe might drive some incredible performance, in many environments budgets just don’t exist for that kind of overhaul. While NVMe is taking over, SATA still can provide value. A typical 7200 RPM HDD can deliver read/write speeds of between 80 to 160MB/s compared to SATA SSDs delivering read/write speeds of 200 to 550MB/s. That is a massive performance boost for an aging system.

To make sure these drives perform at their maximum performance, we will be disabling all the power saving features in the BIOS (C6-state, etc). The testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 10 64-bit with the latest windows updates installed. We disabled a bunch of unnecessary services such as drive indexing, Prefetch, Superfetch, Defrag and removed all the bloatware from Windows 10 to make sure there were as few processes running as possible during the testing. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch. The MX500 was launched by Micron as the first Crucial drive to be based on Micron's 6 4-layer 3D TLC NAND solution. This drive uses the TLC NAND instead of MLC NAND and offers a sizeable boost in performance (estimated to be around 10%) compared to the older model MX300. In that aspect, it lives up to Crucial's claims. It also comes bundled with Acronis' True Image HD app that allows you to clone your existing hard drive to make the OS installation process easier for a boot drive upgrade. With around 500 MB per second of read and write speeds, the MX500 should satisfy the average users. MX500 2.5: Price UK

Crucial MX500 4TB Specifications

but the MX500 uses Dynamic Write Acceleration (DWA) which dynamically shrinks or grows the SLC cache size depending on the amount of data stored on the flash. Active average power use comparison based on published specs of the 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD and the 1TB Western Digital® Caviar Blue™ WD10EZEX internal hard drive. All other capacities of the Crucial MX500 SSD have comparable active average power consumption specs. Crucial presents an SSD with a lot of storage space with the MX500 4TB. It is by no means the first SATA SSD with this much storage, but it is an interesting alternative.
