Very good price, Good performance, Temperature control features, Good RAID 0 performance
Not as fast as the Samsung EVO
Unsurprisingly, RAID 0 gives a nice bump in the headline sequential read/write scores. The reads jumped from 496MB/s up to 979MB/s, while the writes rose from 440MB/s to 842MB/s. When it came to dealing with the small bitty files of everyday use though, ...

When asked at CES about the M500 price points, we were told the 960GB model would hit the $600 price point and the other capacity would scale from there. Although not specifically stated, I took that to mean $300 for the 480GB, $150 for the 240GB and aro...

What a difference one-process node makes. However, the Crucial M500 240GB does in fact still suffer from low write speeds, compared to other products on the market. The 240GB model does double the performance offered by the 120GB model, but it's not like...
We've talked about the new IMFT 20nm flash on a few occasions already. This is the second review we've published with the Crucial M500, the first being the 960GB model. In the highest capacity size the M500 is a very good drive with good read and wri...
Great value for money, Good performance, Capacitors to stop drive errors with power cut, Temperature monitor
M4 series quicker in some benchmarks
Crucial's M500 series offers a glimpse of what the future might hold with the pricing of large capacity SSDs, and is a sign of how far the market has come in a short space of time. If you'd have said barely a year ago that you'd be able to buy a 480GB SS...
It's a good thing Crucial released the massive 960GB capacity size because without it the M500 series wouldn't be all that exciting. The new capacity size is exciting, but if you aren't willing to spend $600 for an SSD, I'd say it doesn't really matt...

Exceeds rated read and write speeds, 7mm low profile fits in many Ultrabooks and thinner laptops, Excellent compatibility, Decent 3 year warranty, Massive storage (for an SSD), Very affordable for a terabyte-class SSD
No desktop drive bracket included, No software bundle included in the box for migration
I've been looking forward to trying out the Crucial M500 for a while now. While I have been using a smaller one in a different production machine, there is something about a "terabyte class" SSD that makes most computer enthusiasts hearts beat a bit faste...
Crucial’s new M500 480GB is an interesting drive since it happens to be one of the first which brings relatively high performance and a large capacity to an affordable price point. This was accomplished by eschewing the SSD industry’s usual design phil...
Abstract: Last year, we remarked that prices of SSDs have fallen dramatically, to record lows even, making them more accessible to even mainstream users. In the past year, we saw prices of SSDs stabilizing and also noted several trends in the industry.Although 2013...
