The 2.5-inch SATA SSD made by the American company is best suited for users of older devices, who are in need of a substantial storage upgrade of up to 2TB and do not have a state-of-the-art M.2 slot at their disposal.

For PC and laptop users who need as much internal storage space as possible and have an empty 2.5-inch slot available, buying an affordable SATA SSD can be a very reasonable financial decision. The Crucial MX500 is one of the most well-known products in this particular market segment, and fittingly, Amazon is now offering the SSD at one of its lowest prices thus far.

Specifically, Amazon is currently selling the 1TB model of the 2.5-inch SATA SSD for US$52, which constitutes a massive 48% discount in relation to its MSRP and results in a very good price of US$0.05 per gigabyte. This deal offers Amazon’s lowest price ever according to a reliable price tracker and undercuts a popular deal from last month by another US$10. Alternatively, the 2TB version of the Crucial MX500 is on sale for US$119 after a 40% price reduction. However, its price per gigabyte of US$0.06 remains a bit higher.

In terms of transfer rates, the Crucial MX500 features sequential read and write speeds of 560 and 510 MB/s, respectively. Additionally, the 1TB and 2TB versions have a durability rating of 360 and 700 TBW, respectively, and the SATA SSD is further covered by a limited five-year manufacturer’s warranty. Prospective buyers who are thinking about buying this SSD should also note that due to recent price drops, much faster M.2 drives with identical capacities can be bought for similar prices. Therefore, this deal for the Crucial MX500 may be particularly interesting for owners of older systems that only have a 2.5-inch bay available.
