lower endurance and are almost the same price as decent SSDs
fairly decent for the price
It also has enough endurance to last a long time
reasonable
attentive
and respectful
in-depth reviews and helpful tips
makes a great upgrade in capacity for older laptops

the plastic gives it a cheap feel
prices may not be accurate
HDD was a thin WD drive that was horribly slow
had these drives fail early some just weeks after installing
performance can be rather unflattering-even falling into hard drive territory
5-inch SATA SSD with a value bent
than competing drives from Crucial
are no thermal pads to help dissipate heat from the controller
unimpressive performance
as slightly slower than the competition
offer much of an upgrade path over its predecessor

Crucial BX500 Review

3.5
