      The general reputation on crucial has been pretty good so far so I don't what that user on about.

    The 500 series is a relatively new release and has a 5 year warranty

    3/3 failures in 24 months i would be checking out your power supply , these drives are very well reviewed .

      This was in 3 different devices. The warranty was good and I had them all replaced, but in the end I just asked for a refund. It's pretty inconvenient having to restore from backups that many times.

      This is a very recent review and whilst they are good and fast drives, you will be hard-pressed getting reliability statistics.

    Crucial MX500s were relase December 2017, making them about 5 months old. You claim you've purchased and expetienced 3 failures across 3 devices in that time?

    I'll call bullshit McBanjo or it isn't MX500s you've been using.

    MX500s utilise Micron's very reliable flash, they didn't use this flash in older models.

      Correction. Not MX500s specifically, but Crucial drives in general. Like I said, reputation wise these specific models may be fine, but hard to know reliability rates. Only going by past performance of the brand and track record.

        With the MX500s specifically they are using new tech for Crucial, Micron 64L 3D NAND, apparently the reliability has improved they've added two more years to the warranty to 5 years now.
