Great price for an SSD hard drive. Notes from Amazon: arrives: 17 Dec - 9 Jan. May arrive after Christmas. Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months.
CamelCamelCamel.
looks like the BX500 is DRAM-less vs the MX500. This particular model is TLC but I think some higher capacity BX500s are QLC
would this work on a mid-2012 macbook air for ugprade?
Via USB, yes. Internally it won't fit
You'd need an mSATA or M.2 SATA based drive (like Samsung 860 EVO), and an adaptor that converts the M.2 connector to Apple's 7 + 17 pin connector. You can search for these on the interwebs - some might be garbage, but I just bought a generic one and it worked.
Don't use the NVMe/PCIe drives though - They might have the M.2 pin layout, but they won't work because the Air needs SATA.
The Air doesn't have one of the old standard 2.5 inch drives in it, they take up too much room!
For the record, I did this upgrade on my Macbook Retina 2013.
Here are instructions on how to do it once you've got the stuff - it's not hard!

Pick one, lol
Wait this is for PC or laptop?
It's for lots of things?
Could something like this be plugged into the back of PS5 and used for PS4 game storage? Somehow my PS5 is already full…
EDIT: Just noticed this is an internal drive. Would a portable SSD work well?
You can buy one of these and slap it in a $12 ebay SSD enclosure and bob's your uncle you got a portable SSD without getting ripped off. I have 2 such portable SSDs laying around which I never use but the work perfectly well.
I have something similar for my PS4 games on the PS5 and it works fantastically, though my 1TB externall SSD is full already, so I'm not using my PS5 storage for some PS4 games. I got a cheap external case to place the internal SSD into.
Ghost of Tsushima runs like a dream on PS5 FYI.

For we who have trouble remembering what all these letters mean:
"The Crucial BX500 is a solid, budget-friendly 2.5-inch SATA SSD with a value bent, but at our test capacity, the company's own MX500 is a better choice for most."
