According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert
  • This 2.5-inch SSD is suitable for laptops and desktops.
  • Thanks to the hardware encryption, your files are extra protected and it keeps unwanted visitors out.

Description

Note: this 2.5-inch SSD has a SATA interface and only works if your system supports SATA. Check this in the manual of your laptop or motherboard.

The Crucial MX500 500GB 2.5 inches is an internal SSD which you can use to expand the storage capacity of your laptop. Thanks to the 64-layer 3D NAND technology, the SSD is more energy-efficient than the MX300 series. As a result, your laptop lasts longer on a single charge. This drive reads at 560MB/s. That's 30MB/s faster than the MX300 SSD to open large files such as movies and graphic design projects. A 2GB video takes 4 seconds to transfer. Thanks to the AES 256-bit hardware encryption, you protect your movie collection, holiday photos, and study or work documents from hackers and data theft. On top of that, the automatic error correction and recovery in case of power loss ensures your files won't be damaged and are saved when you have a power outage.

The SSD upgrade is worth more than the purchase price.

  • high read and write speed
  • easy installation
  • no

Quickly installed and ready to use. High read and write speed. Bought as a startup disk and significantly shortens startup time. Also starting up programs and moving files is significantly faster. In short, a considerable upgrade of the total system.
Delivery by Coolblue as expected; quickly and properly packaged.
