Crucial BX500 500GB 2.5" SATA Internal SSD CT500BX500SSD1

SKU CH-924T-FQYWH

A 2.5-inch SATA internal SSD with 500GB of 3D NAND storage delivering up to 540 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write speeds

  • Total capacity500 GB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 540 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 500 MB/s
  • Interface typeSATA III
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 500GB

  • Faster boot and application loading with sequential read speeds up to 540 MBps
  • Quicker file saves and system responsiveness with sequential write speeds up to 500 MBps
  • Reliable long-term storage backed by 80TB total bytes written endurance rating
  • Lower power draw extends laptop battery life with 60mW average active consumption
  • Easy drive migration using included Acronis True Image cloning software

Built for everyday desktops and laptops

The Crucial BX500 500GB 2.5" SATA internal SSD uses 3D NAND flash to replace a mechanical hard drive in consumer systems. It connects over the SATA interface and fits standard 7 mm drive bays. The drive includes Acronis True Image cloning software to simplify migration.

Steady throughput with thermal monitoring

Sequential reads reach up to 540 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps, while the controller uses thermal monitoring and active garbage collection to maintain consistent output during extended workloads. SLC write acceleration absorbs bursts, and the 80 TBW endurance rating reflects sustained write capacity over the drive's life.

Slim 7 mm metal housing with standard connectors

The 2.5‑inch form factor measures 7.00 mm high, 69.85 mm wide and 100.33 mm deep, allowing direct installation in most laptops and desktop brackets. Average active power draw is 60 mW, with peak read and write power capped at 3000 mW, reducing strain on system power budgets. SMART reporting and ECC protect data integrity day to day.
