Crucial MX500 1TB M.2. SSD review

Crucial recently announced their new MX500 series 2.5" SSDs. But did you know that these are available as M.2. models as well? Being all about value for money you can purchase a 1TB model for €0,231 per GB. Now, the downside is that these units will remain at SATA3 performance, but hey, any SSD in this class offers fast perf and at that price, this unit is effective for your money. We review the new 1 TB model, as it is among the most price-competitive M.2. SSDs available currently on the market, with up-to high-end class SATA3 performance.

$250 on Newegg. $115 for the 500 gb version. Very nice prices. Thanks for the review HH.

That's what I still don't get...
at which point do we get to feel the upgrade in everyday OS usage, moving from ordinary SATA3 SSD upwards toward Intel 900p
Skeptic in me says: skip and wait
From what I've gathered, size is the most important thing. Simply buy the biggest and do not look back.
Dang! Thats actually less than what I paid for a SATA M500 480GB SSD almost 4 years ago. And that was an eyeopener in terms of performance. I'm curious to see if I'd notice an improvement again with a proper NVME M.2.

i've been using this since January as a game drive. it's way better than my old 2.5" ssd (2x generations older).
