We would have hoped for a bit more from a new edition or a larger model that follows the original version after 4 years. Due to the interface’s limit, the gaps between the SSDs are often small, but overall it falls a bit short of our expectations. The Crucial SSD is in the midfield in terms of access time in AS SSD, but only reaches the lower ranks in HD Tune, which is also true for the benchmark.Īt the end of the benchmark course, we can clearly place the Crucial MX500 with 4 TB in the midfield of the SATA SSDs we have tested so far. The first graph shows the relative performance of the Hard Drive compared to the 10 other common Hard Drives in terms of PassMark Disk Rating. This is made using thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and is updated daily.

All SATA SSDs are close to each other here as well. Price and performance details for the Samsung SSD 960 can be found below. In the ATTO disk benchmark, the Crucial MX500 falls behind in both read and write tests with smaller blocks, but then approaches the top group with increasing size. In the other benchmark tests, the SSD’s performance is in the midfield, just like in the AS SSD benchmark. Thus, we are ~1 MB/s above or below Crucial’s specifications of 560 and 510 MB/s, respectively, and can thus confirm them. In CrystalDiskMark, we achieve 561.74 MB/s in sequential read and 509.24 MB/s in sequential write. Considering that even the 1 TB model of the MX500 has 1 GB of DRAM cache, this is surprising.

While the ICH10 and the Marvell can do 6gb SATA, this is a 3gb drive. The motherboard has two SATA interfaces, an Intel ICH10 along with a Marvell 9128. With 16gb of RAM and an i7 2600k processor, running at standard 3.4ghz speed. While 1 GB of cache per TB of memory is common, Crucial only provides 512 MB for the MX500 with 4 TB. This is plugged into an Asus P8P67 motherboard. The available but small DRAM cache is more critical. However, this will be problematic for the fewest users. While the warranty of 5 years is very long, other manufacturers offer partly higher TBW rates.

Read and write performance are thus in the good or even usual range, because quite generally the differences in the sequential specifications for SATA SSDs are only slight. The warranty period is up to 5 years, which is limited as usual for SSDs and ends here after one written petabyte, if this time comes earlier. Crucial promises sequential transfer speeds of up to 560 MB/s read or 510 MB/s write and relies on the Silicon Motion SM2259H controller, a 3D TLC NAND from its own production as well as a 512 MB DRAM cache for this. The Crucial MX500 with 4 TB is visually as well as technically very reminiscent of the models already released in 2017 or their new edition.
