Crucial MX500 1TB M.2 2280 SATA SSD with 3D TLC NAND and AES Encryption

Description

The Crucial MX500 1TB is an internal M.2 2280 SATA SSD designed for computers with an M.2 slot that supports SATA signalling. It uses the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and a compact 22 ? 80 mm board, providing a storage upgrade without requiring a 2.5-inch drive bay. The MX500 combines Micron 3D TLC NAND with a DRAM buffer, offering a practical balance of responsiveness and sustained everyday use.

Sequential speeds reach up to 560 MB/s for reads and 510 MB/s for writes, while rated random performance reaches 95,000 read and 90,000 write IOPS. Dynamic Write Acceleration uses a flexible SLC area to improve short bursts of writing. A 360 TBW endurance rating for the 1TB version helps buyers assess its suitability for operating systems, frequently used applications and sizeable file libraries.

For security, the drive supports hardware AES-256 encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 when configured by compatible software. NAND-integrated power-loss immunity helps protect data already stored on the drive, while SMART monitoring and adaptive thermal management support maintenance. Confirm that your M.2 socket accepts SATA drives: a PCIe-only or NVMe-only slot will not operate this SSD.

    After dispatch, the delivery time depends on the selected delivery service and the courier.

    Can I return my product?

    Yes, returns are accepted in accordance with our return policy and your statutory rights.

    Returned items should be complete, securely packed, and returned with all original accessories and packaging where possible. Once the item is received, it will be inspected before any refund or replacement is approved.

    For CPUs and other delicate electronic components, we check for physical or installation-related damage, including bent pins, damaged contact pads, socket damage, thermal paste contamination, missing parts, or other signs of incorrect installation, misuse, or handling damage.

    If the item has been damaged after delivery or used beyond what is necessary to inspect it, this may affect refund eligibility, and a deduction or refusal may apply where permitted by law.

    This does not affect your statutory rights if the item is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

    What can I do if my item (or part of it) is damaged?

    If your item arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and send clear photos of the product, packaging, and damaged part.

    Please do not install, use, repair, or modify the item before contacting us. We will review the information and advise the next steps.

    Damage caused after delivery, including incorrect installation, bent CPU pins, damaged contact pads, socket damage, misuse, or other handling damage, may affect refund or replacement eligibility.
