Initially when SSDs were introduced, it was the clear performance choice with a premium price tag to boot. But as SSDs have become mainstream, the competition has now split into two categories – performance and value. The M500 is Crucial's attempt to offe...
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...
Build Quality, Very Good Overall Performance, Features (RAIN & eDrive Support), 3 Year Warranty, Available In 960GB, Price (For Some)
Bundle
The previous M4 model by Crucial/Micron was launched back in 2011 and although it offered very good read speeds (up to 500MB/s) it did lack the punch needed in write speeds (up to 260MB/s) and 4KB random IOPS performance (read 45k/write 50k) to compete wi...

As much as we want the unbelievable performance that we see in PCIe M.2 SSDs, the name of the game today is capacity and the number of e-mails received from people looking for higher capacity SSDs is amazing. As much as we see those that already have M.2...
