Blissfully cheap, Impressive read and write speeds
Low TBW rating
Some PC enthusiasts might look at the TBW limits or small file transfer speeds and scoff, but then the BX500 was never for them. This is a simple yet sufficiently quick entry-level SSD, priced accordingly, which means almost anyone can upgrade from their...
Lower than average application performance, Low endurance, Low sustained write performance
Crucial's BX500 is a cheap option that will outperform any HDD as a boot drive, but it comes with drawbacks. The BX500's low endurance and application performance rank far behind most current-gen SSDs in the market. Pricing is competitive, but there are m...
DRAM-less design does affect performance, Kitguru says: If you are on a very tight budget and need a 480GB SSD then Crucial's BX500 is an obvious choice but and it's a big but, there are much better-performing drives on the market for not very much more m
Crucial once reigned supreme in the entry-level SSD market segment but this a segment that has become ferociously competitive so to give the Crucial BX500 a fighting chance, Crucial have gone all out to keep the cost of building the drive as low as possib...

BX500 is one of the most affordable 2.5'' SSDs you can get for the capacity and includes a 3-year warranty with 240 TBW of write endurance. While there is no DRAM cache standalone on the board, the 96-layer 3D NAND TLC packages do include SLC for caching...

Great Performance, SATA 6 Compliant, 96-Layer 3D NAND, Available in Sizes up to 960GB, More Storage Less Cost, Included Imaging Software
TLC NAND, Wear rates are pretty high
In this review we took a look at the Crucial BX500 SATA SSD. The BX series is an interesting line from Crucial as they have taken a different approach to how SSD drives are built and sold. On the surface they appear to be more affordable however when you...
High performance to price ratio, Inexpensive, High compatibility, Momentum Cache, 3-year warranty
Performance in random operations could be higher,
Crucial BX500 is a great option if we are considering an upgrade from an HDD to SSD but we don't have a high budget. Especially 960GB version is interesting if we are using a laptop which supports only one drive and we still have more data.A refreshed lin...
