Review: Crucial MX 500 1TB SSD
Crucial announced their new MX500 series SSD, we put the 1TB model to the test. At 25 cents per GB, these units are all about value for money. But they do not compromise on performance, no Sir. The MX500 remains very fast and very effective for the money you put down on that counter. You can read the full review here.

Why no 275 and 750 options? These were ideal with MX300. And seem to be no U.2 support for 2.5'' drives.
275GB MX300 did well with up to 2,5 PB written data on 3DNews tests. Just slightly under 850 EVO. This series supposed to be better.
No. They skipped Windows 9 because of Windows 9x. To avoid mishmash.

Wasn't it the same reason why Microsoft skipped Windows 9?

I was wondering why I managed to pick up a 1TB mx300 for pretty cheap yesterday. I shouldn't order stuff tired.

Dang, that's a very good price. I'll definitely keep a look out for them.
As an Asian, I've never understood the taboo around the number four (it supposedly means death, but it's just a number as far as I'm concerned). I also don't understand the aversion to thirteen in the west - IMO, both superstitions are stupid.

How many numbers are cursed? 
Wasn't it the same reason why Microsoft skipped Windows 9? Wait. It's launching on January 9? That's not good.

Good price for a 1 TB SSD but still too high to kill classic disks: i bought a 8 TB a few days ago for 215 euros.

Would be nice to see prices some down a bit faster.....
The belief that the number 13 is some how tainted or linked to evil pre-dates "western culture" and seems to be related to Religious and Norse lore and events surrounding a 13th guest at a celebration where that 13th guest was responsible for death and/or mischief/chaos/anarchy.

Seems like it'd more a concern of being misunderstood than an actual fear.

But in much of East and Southeast Asia, where tetraphobia is the norm, you’d be hard-pressed to find much use of the number 4 in private or public life, thanks to similar sounds for the Chinese language (and Chinese-influenced linguistic sub-groups) words for “four” and “death.”

Seems a bit weird that the m.2 has similar read/write speeds as the 2.5 inch, yet Samsung m.2 are several times faster. Guess Crucial are just offering m.2 form factor but cheaper?

Why create tables when all the figures are exactly the same?
Just state the figures once.

Couple of weeks ago, I decided to bite the bullet, and buy a Crucial 2TB SSD for my gaming drive. Man...what a huge difference on load times, even with my previous drive being a hybrid.

That's the basis of it (similar sound) but I think it's a genuine fear, like how the west treats the number 13. If anything, it's thought to bring bad luck, like other taboos associated with death in Asian culture - I remember that I used to stick my chopsticks in my rice, which would upset my mom since that particular usage symbolizes burial/funerals (as far as I'm concerned, it's just a convenient way to place my chopsticks - and I still do it to this day).
