Maximum PC: The Crucial M500 is the company’s third-generation 6Gb/s SSD, and the successor to the often-praised M4 SSD, which we named the “Best Bang for your Buck” SSD back last year due to its well-rounded package of decent performance at a great price. In our estimation, the new drive follows suit, though with much-improved write speeds and massively increased capacities at lower prices, thanks to its move to smaller-process NAND flash. Not only does it come in the standard 120GB, 240GB, and the 480GB version you see before you, but it’s also offered in a pants-tightening 1TB version at just $600, making it the only truly affordable 1TB SSD ever offered. Since the terabyte drive was not available at press time, we’re taking a look at the 480GB version, which sports the exact same specs as its big brother.
The 1 TB and 2 TB versions of the Crucial P2 NVMe PCIe M.2 Solid State Drives are now available on Amazon.
The Crucial Ballistix MAX 5100 MHz and Crucial Ballistix MAX RGB 4400 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kits are now available on Amazon.
Amazon has opened pre-orders for the Crucial X6 Portable SSD.
Pretty aggressive price on the 1TB model, relatively speaking.
I love my SSD...soooooo much (Thanks Techspy) but damn would I ever love a 480GB+
