Deal | Crucial MX500 4TB SSD hits lowest price of the year thus far on Amazon ↺
It's no secret that tech enthusiasts have to invest a considerable amount of money if they plan to upgrade to a 4TB SSD in 2024. Even older 2.5-inch SATA drives have skyrocketed in price compared to last year, which also applies to the very popular Crucial MX500. Leastwise, Amazon has now discounted the Crucial SSD to a more or less fair price point.
To be more exact, storage hungry PC owners will have to shell out $209 for the Crucial MX500 SSD with 4TB of storage capacity. In order to receive this discounted sale price, please manually activate the $20 coupon that is offered on Amazon's product page of the 4TB SSD. Meanwhile, Camelcamelcamel's price history indicates that this sale matches Amazon's lowest price of the year 2024 for the Crucial MX500.
However, the 2.5-inch SATA SSD was already available for $165 back last year, which means that this deal is mostly suitable for users who can't postpone their 4TB SSD upgrade or don't want to speculate on upcoming price drops. In any case, the Crucial MX500 reaches up to 560 megabytes per second during sequential reading and 510 MB/s during sequential writing, while the endurance of the 4TB version is officially rated at 1,000 TBW.
Lastly, prospective buyers who own a modern PC or laptop with an M.2 slot might want to consider a notably faster but just slightly more expensive PCIe storage module such as the Crucial P3 Plus (from $238 on Amazon). But for everyone who definitely needs a regular 4TB SATA SSD in the tried-and-true 2.5-inch format, this deal for the Crucial MX500 is one of the better deals of the year thus far.
