Great Sequential Read/Write Speeds, Free Acronis True Image Software, Significantly Faster Than a HDD, Highly Affordable, Three-Years Warranty
Low Random Write Speeds, Limited To 480GB Max Capacity, Crucial's SSDs have always been competitively priced compared to the competition and the BX500 is no exception. At $80, the BX500 480GB is affordable but not by much compared to the MX500 500GB whic

Performance (Compared To HDDs), Features (NANDXtend / SLC Write Caching / DevSleep), Crucial Storage Executive Software, 3 Year Warranty, Price,
Overall Performance Levels (DRAM-Less Design), Plastic Enclosure (Temperatures), Available Capacities (120/240/480GB), Not Available In The M.2 Form Factor,
After wrapping up all our tests it's very clear that the new BX500 240GB SATA III SSD by Crucial is nothing to get excited over since its entry-level performance is inferior not only to that of its predecessor the BX300 series but also older...
Good RAID performance on the cheap The Crucial BX500 is going to be a very controversial model. A controversial model that is not going to impress mainstream buyers all that much. Thankfully it doesn't have to. Its market niche is the entry level, low-bud...
Extremely affordable, just 17 cents per GB, Excellent sequential read and write performance, Solid real-life application performance, DRAM-less design reduces cost
Weak random writes, High read latency, Only available in capacities up to 480 GB, Very large writes (>30 GB) see significant speed drop
The Crucial BX500 480 GB SSD is currently available online for $80. Extremely affordable, just 17 cents per GB Excellent sequential read and write performance Solid real-life application performance DRAM-less design reduces cost Weak random writes High re...
Value is what the BX500 series is all about, and it is exactly that. But is it good value? I am inclined to say yes, as the SSD is plenty fast for normal usage and even some temporary heavy workloads. The Achilles heel is a bottleneck after 32 GB writes f...
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...

Abstract: Crucial's BX500 internal SSD offers a lot of capacity for not so much cash, along with great everyday, real-world performance. Most users will be perfectly happy with this QLC drive, as long as they don't bang on it too hard—as in writing large amounts of...
