240GB SATA 2.5" SSD

The Crucial BX500 is a 240GB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses 3D NAND flash memory and a SATA III interface to replace a mechanical hard drive. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 540 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps for faster boot and application loading.

Fits standard 2.5-inch bays

The 7.00mm height matches typical laptop and desktop drive cages without adapters. A SATA data cable and SATA power connection from the host system are required for operation. Low active power draw of 60 mW average helps reduce thermal load and extends battery life in portable machines.

Acronis cloning software included

The package supplies Acronis True Image for Crucial to simplify data migration from an existing drive. Built-in SLC write acceleration, active garbage collection and TRIM support maintain consistent write performance over time. SMART monitoring and error correction protect data integrity across the 80TB total bytes written endurance rating.
