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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSequential 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrucial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCT1000MX500SSD4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMX500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1TB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal SATA SSD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM.2 2280 (22 ? 80 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSATA Interface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA III 6 Gb\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax Sequential Read Speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 560 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax Sequential Write Speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 510 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRandom Read IOPS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 95,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRandom Write IOPS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 90,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNAND Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicron 3D TLC NAND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDRAM Cache\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDRAM buffer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eEndurance \/ TBW\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360 TBW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware Encryption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAES-256; TCG Opal 2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Crucial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58592713933183,"sku":"B0784SY515","price":179.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/8581\/5935\/files\/61HmDBdaPfL.jpg?v=1790868267","url":"https:\/\/ssd247.co.uk\/products\/crucial-mx500-1tb-3d-nand-sata-m-2-type-2280ss","provider":"SSD247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
