In solid-state drive, form factor decides and prescribes the size, shape and other physical specifications of a drive. The hard disk interface is the connection part between the hard disk and the host system. It is used to transfer data between hard disk cache and the host memory. Different hard disk interfaces determine the connection speed between hard disk and computer. The MX500 has been the flagship SATA solution for Crucial for several years, and in that time, the price has come down considerably. That said, when compared to the BX500 series, the MX offers an entirely different build starting with a Silicon Motion 2258 and hefty DRAM cache. Now, we will show you how to use MiniTool ShadowMaker to clone OS from HDD to Crucial BX500 SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD. You should connect the Crucial SSD to the computer first.

Both of them provide good reliability. They can be written 360 TB total bytes, equal to 197GB per day for 5 years. The Crucial BX500 SSD offers you a 3-year limited warranty, while Crucial MX500 SSD provides you a 5-year limited warranty. 5. Crucial BX500 vs MX500: Price With higher performance and a solid price point, the MX500 manages to take top marks in the price/performance chart. For read speeds, the MX500 is up there with the likes of the Samsung 870 EVO, arguably the best SATA SSD you can buy. The write speeds are a little disappointing, though, coming in lower than Samsung by about 25MB/s in our tests. This isn't a huge deal and not one you'll notice in everyday use. But the competition is still faster. The same is true of the random read and write scores, both handily behind Samsung's performance. The Crucial MX500 is a perfectly good SATA SSD. It won't win any speed races against the best in this class, but Samsung set a high bar. Apart from the weirdness with the companion app and the frankly horrible manual way to install new firmware, it's a thumbs up. Crucial has outfitted the MX500 with several key features that aim to improve performance. The most notable is dynamic write acceleration that takes advantage of an SLC buffer like many drives, but rather than having a fixed size, the MX500 can grow or shrink based on drive state.

Of course, performance will vary between the different capacities and even between different units. The bottom line is that the MX500 is good, but it's not the best in class. In this section, we will show you some differences between BX500 and MX500 in five aspects. To learn more detailed information, keep on your reading. 1.

They are particularly popular among gaming enthusiasts because of how fast, reliable, heat-resistant, durable, and energy efficient they are. And two of the most highly regarded SSDs on the market are the Samsung 870 EVO and Crucial MX500.

Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch. There are many popular SSDs on the market including Crucial BX500 and Crucial MX500.But, as for Crucial BX500 and Crucial MX500, what are their differences and which one is better?

The speeds are increasing too, which in return helps the adoption of the tech even more and with its performance gains, the MX500 has become a good option for mainstream laptop and PC builds that accept 2.5-inch drives. The only caveat is the SATA connection instead of the faster PCI Express. Solid-State, Solid Performer
