Review: Crucial MX500 1TB - Worked well and is Faster than my older Intel 180 SSD - I have always (25 years) bought Crucial memory and storage devices for my PC's and to upgrade for friends. They make very good and reliable products. I would pay a bit extra to get this name-brand, tested, quality product. The drive installed in the bundled bracket easily and the process went well (for an experienced PC person). I needed to change the BIOS settings to get the drive recognized (Legacy Order of Boot). I tried to install the Acronis Disk Clone program, but it would not run/install due to this error. It had an error of "Already at Latest Level" and would not continue to load. Windows did recognize the drive in Disk Manager, and it was ready to be used. I was lucky to have Acronis 2016 that I could install and use easily. It installed this drive with Acronis, and it picked MBR as a Format type. I did want to try GPT, but my PC (HP Z420) might not be capable. The Cloning went quickly and worked great. I also used the Crucial Storage Executive and turned on the two features to increase speed (does take about 70 to 100GB). Drive worked fine and Windows seemed to accept the Clone. Looking online there are a number of people who had trouble with the Crucial Acronis Software, this seems to be a problem. This was not an easy swap and it took several hours due to the problems. After install (clone) I started getting a CHKDSK being run automatically. It would freeze up at 100% and not continue until a reboot. I started over from scratch. Fresh format, Windows 10 OS, updates, loaded back all my programs and now everything works great and fast. Still giving this a 5-Star rating given the performance and overall process. Cloning next to never works without some kind of trouble. Review: solidly reliable and high capacity SSD drive - I bought three of these Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD drives to install in a recently acquired HP Core i7 desktop. My goal is to eventually phase out a full tower PC that I built in 2012. It handles my video and audio servers and has a solid state boot drive, along with 7 spinning hard drives for data. This HP has a considerably smaller case and my goal was to fill it with high capacity SSD drives. I've always been a fan of the Crucial line of SSD drives, and I've never had one go bad. All three of these Crucial 4 tb drives were installed to SATA headers on the motherboard, and I was able to fit all of them in what is a one foot tall mini desktop tower. Installing these drives is very easy, plug in a sata cable plus a power cable to each, and they're good to go. I used 3m two sided tape, the kind used to hang pictures, to stick the drives to flat surfaces inside the case. They are very light and compact, I just made sure to keep some air around each drive and not bunch them together. Once they were installed, I closed up the case and turned on the computer. I opened disk manager and partitioned and formatted each of the new drives. They will be used as data drives. The computer came with a 1TB M.2 as the boot drive, so the total solid state drive capacity for the computer is 13 TB. I spent some time copying my audio database of over one thousand CD's ripped into lossless format files, as well as my video database of movies and music videos. My 2012 build full tower with it's spinning hard drives holding the data, worked well for many years. This new one with all ssd drives, works much better. Each audio or video file loads noticeably faster than on the old server, plus there are no spinning hard drives making noise. I downloaded the "Crucial Storage Executive" software from the Crucial website that is very helpful. It checks the firmware revision you have and updates it if needed. All three of mine came with the "45' version of the firmware. I had it update to the latest "46" version which took less than 30 seconds. The photo with this review shows my new media server loaded with 13 tb of solid state drive capacity, including three of the Crucial SATA ssd's. They are fast, cool running and should have a very long life. ## Features - 2.5-inch Solid State Drive - 2TB ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003J5JB12 | | Additional Features | Data Recovery Service | | Best Sellers Rank | #66 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Brand | Crucial | | Built-In Media | Internal Solid State Drive | | Color | Blue/Gray | | Compatible Devices | This drive is compatible with desktops and laptops that accept 2.5" 7mm SATA drives | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 110,377 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 2 TB | | Enclosure Material | Information Not Available | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Hard Disk Description | SATA | | Hard Disk Interface | Solid State | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1.00 | | Hard-Drive Size | 2000 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC; Mac, Linux | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 4.06"L x 2.76"W x 0.28"Th | | Item Type Name | Crucial MX500 2TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT2000MX500SSD1 | | Item Weight | 40 Grams | | Manufacturer | Crucial | | Media Speed | 510 Megabytes Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | CT2000MX500SSD1 | | Model Name | Crucial MX500 SSD | | Model Number | CT2000MX500SSD1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 560 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Data Recovery Service | | Specific Uses For Product | personal, gaming, business | | UPC | 649528785077 | | Warranty Description | Limited 5-year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crucial - **Color:** Blue/Gray - **Compatible Devices:** This drive is compatible with desktops and laptops that accept 2.5" 7mm SATA drives - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** SATA - **Hard Disk Interface:** Solid State - **Hard Disk Size:** 2000 GB - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Data Recovery Service ## Images ![Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71duypVENNL.jpg) ![Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/317QgRtS+6L.jpg) ![Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718i11Jq8xL.jpg) ![Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Drzy7XIsL.jpg) ![Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OXQ57jsSS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Memory Storage Capacity** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crucial MX500 1TB - Worked well and is Faster than my older Intel 180 SSD *by L***R on March 16, 2021* I have always (25 years) bought Crucial memory and storage devices for my PC's and to upgrade for friends.

Revived a completely unusable notebook. *by K***8 on April 3, 2022* My daughters Dell G3 notebook was getting really slow, especially after upgrading to Windows 11. It got to the point that she didn’t even want to use it anymore because the hard drive would just grind away for an hour or so after boot up. Decided it was time to replace the drive with an SSD. Some of the brands I was considering were WD, Samsung and Crucial. I had never used Crucial before, but reviews seemed to be good for the MX series, which is supposed to be a step up from the BX. At the time of purchase, the Crucial MX500 was cheaper than the similar competitor drives and was faster than about half of them with up to a 560MB/s transfer rate, so I went with it. No, problems with the installation of the drive. All screw holes match the existing configuration as well as all connectors for power and data. Formatting and reimage also went without a hitch. After running all updates, my daughter’s computer is running great. Very fast bootup, program startups and browser loads. This made her very happy and like her computer again. I’m glad everything went smoothly and for not even close to $100 was able to put off buying a new notebook for her. Just to be clear on usage and expectations, my daughter does play games on it, but they are not as hardware intensive as some of the popular titles out there and she mainly uses it for MS Office, surfing the web and streaming. Under those conditions, the Crucial MX500 has been performing admirably. I can’t say how it would do under tougher conditions with constant, rapid data exchange and higher temperatures caused by nearby components. We’ll have to see how this drive performs long term but, so far, I am impressed considering I have never used this brand before. I recommend this drive to anyone looking to upgrade to an SSD. I will update this review if anything wrong pops up, but if you don’t see any updates, then it’s still running strong. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT2000MX500SSD1 - BENFEI SATA Cable III, 3 Pack SATA Cable III 6Gbps Straight HDD SDD Data Cable with Locking Latch 18 Inch Compatible for SATA HDD, SSD, CD Driver, CD Writer - Black - Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket (3.5” Internal Drive Bay to 2.5", Easy Installation) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55745347-crucial-mx500-2tb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55745347-crucial-mx500-2tb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
