2TB SATA 2.5-inch SSD

The Crucial BX500 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built for consumer laptops and desktops. It uses a 2.5-inch 7mm form factor with a SATA III interface and Micron 3D NAND. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 540 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps with no discrete cache.

Upgrading from a mechanical hard drive

Replacing a typical hard drive with this SSD yields a 300% speed improvement for booting and file loading. The jump is worth it when an older system feels sluggish or when a laptop needs better battery life, as the drive is 45x more energy efficient than a spinning disk.

2TB capacity headroom

Two terabytes provide ample room for an operating system, applications and a large media library. Everyday workloads such as web browsing, office suites and video playback run comfortably within the SATA bandwidth limits. Very large sustained write jobs or heavy multi-tasking may saturate the 500 MBps write ceiling.

Questions about this item

Will the 7.00mm height of this 2.5-inch drive fit my laptop caddy?

The drive measures 7.00mm tall, matching the standard 2.5-inch 7mm form factor used in most modern laptop drive bays and caddies.

Which cloning software is included and what is the first step people often skip?

Acronis True Image for Crucial is supplied; the step users miss is creating the bootable rescue media before starting the clone.

What does the 1.5M hour MTTF figure mean for long-term use?

MTTF of 1.5M hours is a statistical reliability metric; the drive has no user-serviceable parts, so replacement is the only option if it fails.
