Hey half a tera for under 100 bucks, not bad from last i seen in the ssd scene...

Pending performance numbers and trusting Crucial's good reliability record (which should be on par with other BX drives), those prices look pretty awesome. For people who don't need the latest and greatest M.2 drive (which 99% of people don't need because there's barely no performance difference on normal use), these look like a great upgrade for a PC with a traditional hard drive.

Is TLC or MLC? Mx500 5 years garanty this Bx500 just 3 years?

Why would the BX have the same warranty as the MX? It wouldn't make much sense to buy the higher class version then I guess.

Good Price for Raid5 SSDers.
Athlonite
Good price for RAID0 SSDers aswell

Wonder what sustained write performance will look like and how big SLC cache is. The Intel QLC drives are terrible once the cache is used up, like worse than an old hard drive.

I might finally be able to replace my 250GB storage drive.... It's getting kinda full.

I wished for 1 Tb with the same price ratio. These are probably going to be popular nevertheless.

Just get the BX300, almost as good as a 850 Pro.
All of the BX300 line are based on MLC, 480GB model with an absurd 32GB of "SLC cache" for an MLC that doesn't need "SLC" cache. Even the 120GB will perform well at near full state compared to crappy TLC, worst the dramless models.

For reference guys this is not even TLC it is a QLC drive, probably why no review samples were sent out and just a press release copy and pasted onto sites.
