Crucial BX500 480 GB SSD review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/24/2018 09:07 AM [ 17 comment(s) ]

Crucial announced their new BX500 series SSDs. They did so quite silently at first, the press releases are a little shy and perhaps too shy as Crucial might have created nice value SSD on SATA3 ever. Let's check it out, shall we?

wow! I just checked over geizhals.eu for the prices of 480GB+ SSD's and I wasn't aware that they had fallen so much!

I mean, 480GB ssd's for €60-80 and 960-1TB for around €150ish? Not bad!

I wouldn't mind an extra 960-1TB tbh at that price! :P

Thanks for the review Hilbert.

Anyone know of a review of long term storage on SSD's ?
(Edit : I know TR or TPU or someone did a wear test, where they just wrote a lot, but i'm talking about persistant storage, maybe 2-6 months between boots, etc...)
I mean, a lot of people tend to write once, and then read many, as in most files on the disk are just going to be read, and never re-written.

I'm pretty sure Samsung does some internal copying, for wear levelling i think, and that helps retain the data, but what about other manufacturers ?

I'm looking into getting a relatively cheap, large, SSD for just storing all the Steam Games, and obviously, they are mostly going to be read often, rather than written...and would like the data to be there, and uncorrupted.

While interesting as a thesis - Why would you assume that data would get corrupted over time? There is no proof of that. Back in the day with the (I think it was) Samsung 840 there was an issue that performance degraded if you left the SSD off power for say 2-3 months. But that was a one-time thing. There is just no reason to assume your data gets corrupted, and I do assume you will power up the SSD every once in a while right?
