If you are after cheap NAND storage for some games or your NAS, SLC might be a very attractive option. Prices of NAND are going down, and as such Crucial figured it would be a good moment to introduce their 1 terabyte and 2 terabyte version of the BX500.

The BX500 line has been around for a while really, ever since September of 2018 and is considered the budget range of Crucial's sata-ssds. The initial. The performance is identical to that of the 480 GB model with 540 MB/s maximum reading speed and 500 MB/s maximum writing speed.

The BX500 1 TB sells at € 129, which is reasonable - but not very cheap. The 2TB model, however, sells at 241 which is 12 cents per GB. That's okay, but we do urge you to read this article as NVMe TLC SSDs can get you there as well at the same price, but with far greater performance. You can read up on this series in our BX500 review.
