    How does this SSD compare to the Crucial MX500?

    • HPdeskjet on 16/12/2022 - 13:36
      +12

      No DRAM, so quite a bit worse, but still TLC so dosent aboslutely crap the bed in sequential (sub-HDD speeds) like crucial p1/p2 and co. Quite good at this price point.

      Similar to the BX500, not MX500.

  • dealhunter52 on 16/12/2022 - 13:42

    Pretty good price.

  • FireRunner on 16/12/2022 - 13:43

    Good for cheap secondary storage

  • DDman7 on 16/12/2022 - 13:48

    Any1 know how probable it is for amazon to price match this? I asked them to do it and they said they don't price match on customer requests

    • HomeAlone on 16/12/2022 - 13:50

      Amazon doesn't have any of their own stock so probably around 0%

      If you’re associated with Mwave why do you want Amazon to price match?

    • Freezies on 16/12/2022 - 14:53

      After Including shipping on Mwave it works out to be $73, just $9 less than on Amazon.

      Maybe worth it if you prefer the faster delivery and easier returns/warranty.

        Also this is more expensive than last month. Personally waiting for it to drop to the previous low of $76.99 on Amazon again.

    I have one of these in a PS4 slim.. runs so much better, UI and loading screens are a significant improvement despite the non pro being SATA2

      Thanks for this, was worried i would only see improvements on the pro

    good price to upgrade you pre 2015 hdd laptop

    Just ordered 2 for my PC, I always run low on storage and for $120 - this is going to be great for some more secondary storage

  • ForTheGreaterGood on 16/12/2022 - 14:20

    Got this the last time it went on sale for a similar price not too long back. Benchmarks aside, this thing holds its own. I've replaced an ageing MX500 with this while Crucial process my warranty claim, and haven't noticed an iota of difference (this is my primary game drive). Can't comment on longevity obviously.

  • Xianese on 16/12/2022 - 14:37

    Is this any good for installing games on or purely as a storage device?

    • ForTheGreaterGood on 16/12/2022 - 14:54
      +1

      Using it as my primary game drive right now. No complaints.

    • Richardc on 16/12/2022 - 15:35

      Good for both, only slows down when you put large files on it.

  • combatant on 16/12/2022 - 15:05

    "Usually leaves warehouse in 10+ business days" - don't expect to get this quick based on this info on product page.

  • tim9800 on 16/12/2022 - 15:08

    Is this drive comparable with crucial mx300 series? running low on ssd space

  • samlor on 16/12/2022 - 15:20

    Cheap but unfortunately I can't stomach the $14.95 shipping to me :-(

    • Void on 16/12/2022 - 15:47

      Yeah, it's more expensive than AusPost flat rate which is available to any chump.

    • AircraftFreight on 16/12/2022 - 15:55
      +1

      I had a $14.95 StarTrack rate and a $9.95 AusPost eParcel rate, still a pretty crap deal for eParcel (Metro Mel)

  • FDNOL on 16/12/2022 - 15:54

    Is this drive comparable or good enough for Tesla Model 3 or Y with external enclosure ?

    • nitens on 16/12/2022 - 16:16
      +1

      You certainly won't be able to travel as far or as quickly in one of these even with an external enclosure (unless the enclosure you're referring to is some other form of vehicle)… In all likelihood I expect you'd even have trouble sitting in one of these.

        You assumed that "comparable" means comparable (autocorrected?), not compatible?
        Maybe BYD would be better choice to save much more & stay ethical.

      Depends on how much the cameras are writing to it I guess. Presumably Tesla are smart enough to avoid turning it into some sort of write amplification hellhole.

      Although part of me doubts that you will get to the 500TBW/3 years warranty point anyway.

    30 bucks shipping to NT lol

  • kingmoron on 16/12/2022 - 16:18

    Damn limit 2.

  • Twilight on 16/12/2022 - 20:07

    Bought two of these and they were utter utter trash. Not stable enough to run a raspberry pi

    • BargainKen on 16/12/2022 - 22:32

      Dont think they're intended for RPis. At this price likely to suite an old laptop with mechanical or smaller SSD.

    • OMGJL on 16/12/2022 - 23:56

      I see that this drive isn't great, but I also wonder if it has to do with your SATA to USB converter's controller chip.

  • kehuehue on 16/12/2022 - 20:53

    Need a 2TB for 120$ lol

    • alphaoasis on 16/12/2022 - 23:16

      Buy two. If one fails you still have 1TB instead of 2TB failing.

    • s12321 on 18/12/2022 - 20:42

      buy 2 raid0 = 118$/2tb :p
