1. Gaming speed claims based on Micron test results measuring Forspoken Benchmark, Call of Duty and Valorant bootup times of the Crucial T500 and other Gen4 SSDs. Your performance may vary.

2. Typical I/O performance as measured using CrystalDiskMark with default settings for NVMe SSDs and write cache enabled. Windows 11 Core isolation disabled for performance measurement. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.

3. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.

4. Power-to-performance comparison measured internally between Crucial P5 Plus and T500 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs. Your performance may vary.

5. Calculated by comparing T500’s sequential reads of 7,400MB/s to the previous generation’s (P3) speeds of 3,500MB/s, or to the SATA’s (MX500) speed of 560MB/s. Actual performance may vary.

6. Compared to Gen4 SSD performance without DirectStorage, based on Micron test results with supported GPU that uses GPU decompression.

7. Faster performance with content creation apps based on internal test results measuring SPECwpc benchmark scores comparing the Crucial T500 to other Gen4 SSDs. Your performance may vary.

8. Valid for five years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first

9. See playstation.com for specs and installation instructions.

10. One-month complimentary Adobe Creative Cloud personal All Apps plan available with eligible Crucial SSD purchase. Adobe Creative Cloud ID and Crucial product registration required for redemption. Eligible Crucial T500 SSDs: CT500T500SSD8, CT1000T500SSD8, CT2000T500SSD8, CT1000T500SSD5, CT2000T500SSD5 must be purchased between October 17, 2023 and December 31, 2024.

    Best pcie4 M.2 Drive at any price!
    5 out of 5 stars
    Best pcie4 M.2 Drive at any price!
    This is a very fast pcie4 drive at any price. Included testing is from the second boot of the drive and using the newest firmware (P8CR003 with SLC cache and PS5 tweaks) installed into the #1 M.2 slot (direct to CPU) on a z790 board paired with an i9-14900k and DDR5-8200 ram.The Crucial T500 uses the newer Phison E25 controller. It is a very cool running chip as can be seen being cooled by a factory motherboard heatsink. Idle is 32-33c and load is 44-47c. It's also very fast and is currently only 4 channel and single sided with two NAND flash chips (on the 500/1tb/2tb models currently available) where competing pcie4 drives are typically much hotter running 8 channel chips. The NAND flash used is the current best chip in use, the same as the current M.2 speed champ, the pcie T705.Been using Crucial memory since the late 1990's. I've never had an issue with them and their support is great if needed.The Acronis TrueImage software quickly made a good copy of my existing windows boot drive, and the Crucial Executive software works alright. (Tho I would uninstall them both after the initial use of them).Definitely recommend this drive to anyone needing an m.2 / nvme / pcie drive that is not wanting to pay (currently) almost 3x the price for a pcie5 drive that is generally the same speed practice because it uses the exact same NAND flash with the same generation of controller. The difference being double the sustained read/write.

    Crucial T500 did not disappoint and has done very well for me. Upgrading my son's gaming rig was super easy and he has been enjoying the boost in speed over his older WD SN570. This is a great value to performance buy and you will not be disappointed in your gaming experience.

    I had to replace my boot SSD for a new OS install and chose this on recommendation of the Crucial configurator. I've using it now for more than 45 days. The results are completely satisfactory, if not outstanding. I now see sustained transfer rates exceeding 200Mb/sec during backups to USB3 external SSD. Boot times are very quick. All interactions are very quick now. No heat issues have been observed. Installation was straightforward and easy. I am totally satisfied with this product and recommend it to anyone if the Crucial configurator matches it to your system.

    I was a little on the fence about getting this SSD for my PS5. however, I am glad I did, this is BY FAR the best accessory I've ever purchased for my PS5. A definite breath of fresh air if you have a lot of games, especially these days when nearly every game takes up a large chunk of storage. I got this when it was on sale, so I can say confidently that it was worth it. The performance and download speed are perfect and I have not had any problems at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeably Faster than a SATA SSD

    I built my computer about 4 or 5 years ago, and while my motherboard had 2 NVMe slots, I didn't use them, since those drives were too expensive at the time. Instead I used a SATA SSD, which was plenty fast.

    I was going to reformat my computer to get a fresh install (and try out Atlas OS for Win10), so I decided while I was at it, I should switch to a NVMe drive, now that they weren't so expensive.

    NVMe's are really easy to install, as you just have 1 screw to do. The Win10 install saw the disk just fine, I selected it, it formatted it, and worked great first try (no weird disk formatting issues or anything).

    The computer boots a lot faster, but some of that could be due to Atlas OS.
    *BUT* When I install a game on Steam/Epic/GOG, that's where the speed is really noticeable. The download is the same (as a SATA SSD was faster than anything my download speeds could imagine), but after you have the files the game always needs to install/patch/verify, and that's where the NVMe speed becomes apparent. I love how quickly it burns through those steps now!

    This has been my primary drive for about a month now, and I'm completely happy with it.

    I have purchased 2 T500s, one in 1tb for my brother's pc and a 2tb one for myself, they have served both of us well in gaming endeavors. Games load up fast, files compress and decompress at a more than reasonable speed and as of now ive had no issues with corrupted files. Overall the T500 is a speedy gen 4 SSD at a reasonable price and is a great alternative to other more expensive gen 5 SSDs which at the moment are still prohibitively expensive.

    I have been using crucial NVMe drives whenever possible. The price is fair and the drives work well
    I ordered these new drives just to check the speed. And they are fast, as long, as you have a computer that can run them.

    Got this at 2tb for $101, and, judging by how the prices have shifted around since then, that might be the cheapest anybody will be able to find a comparable NVME drive for quite a while. For my personal home server and gaming applications this has been a flawless secondary drive.

    Now on paper this is a top performing drive and in the majority of benchmarks (and my usage) it does perform exactly as promised, but there are slight issues with random and sustained writes that have been reported on by enthusiast sites like storagereview. Do your research on how relevant that may be to your use case before using this as a boot drive for a workstation or putting it in an expensive ZFS array. But as a drive where I keep media files like books and some program/game installations, I haven't had a single problem or noticeably bad spike in latency in a month of use.

    Pros:
    -Good price and warranty
    -Very fast secondary drive for games and virtual machine storage (with DRAM which is rare in 7k+ MB/s read drives)
    -Power efficient
    -Issues mentioned may be fixed by driver updates (and are next to irrelevant to what I use it for)

    Cons:
    -... Issues may not be fixed by driver updates and there just might be a reason Crucial discounted this first wave of these so quickly that isn't it being the holiday season

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast M.2 SSD Upgrade On HP ProBook 450 15.6 inch G10 Laptop
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
    Capacity: 2TBStyle: T500Verified Purchase
    I swapped out the stock 512GB M.2 SSD on my HP ProBook 450 15.6 inch G10 Laptop (Model#: 822P5UT#ABA) with this Crucial T500 M.2 SSD and it runs considerably faster now. Booting seems quicker too. The ample storage space is quite nice👌

    Install was stupid easy and only took a few minutes. You'll need a precision screwdriver set if you're upgrading your laptop.

    I used a SABRENT USB-C M.2 SSD Enclosure to externally connect this SSD to my laptop in order to clone my old SSD to it (before installing/swapping SSDs). The Acronis drive cloning software (available for free on Crucial's website) is quick and easy to use. You don't need to format the new drive beforehand, the cloning software handles everything.

    I highly recommend upgrading to one of these Crucial T500 SSDs, it's absolutely worth the money.

    Side note: If you're upgrading your HP ProBook, there's also a secondary SSD slot next to the battery. The HP specs/datasheet are vague about what size M.2 is compatible for this secondary slot, but some online reviews suggest a shorter form-factor M.2 2230 (the ProBook's primary SSD is a M.2 2280, which is physically longer). This M.2 2230 suggestion appears to be wrong, as I installed one and it isn't long enough to reach the screw hole post (which secures the SSD in place). It still works though and the SSD sits firmly in place, even despite not being screwed down. I haven't had issues with it and I handle my laptop somewhat roughly. Also, if you do decide to install a second SSD, you'll need a screw for the screw post (it doesn't come with one).

    I have been using this for three months and have no issues even with gaming and being exposed to heat. I bought this primarily to store games while it was on sale. After many reviews since I am using a laptop, I read this one doesn't go above 60c and tests confirmed it doesn't need a heatsink, unlike other competing m.2 SSDs. The fact it operates cooler under max load (60c vs 80c-90c) was a big factor in keeping my laptop cooler under load.

    In a desktop with a heatsink, the others would be fine since cooling is less of an issue. Their performance is great to be clear but if you want to use a higher-performance M.2 SSD in a laptop this is one of the best current choices out there for thermal reasons alone and it performs extremely well.
