Crucial BX500 960GB 2.5'' SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2019-11-27

BX500 is one of the most affordable 2.5’’ SSDs you can get for the capacity and includes a 3-year warranty with 240 TBW of write endurance. While there is no DRAM cache standalone on the board, the 96-layer 3D NAND TLC packages do include SLC for caching purposes and until this one gets filled, the SSD will perform at optimal speeds.
