Pricing (MSRP) is set at 259 USD for the 1 TB model, so yes that's hovering at the 26 cents per GB marker as well as getting 5 years warranty. Adaptive Thermal Protection allows for adaptive coolingįor those that wonder, why did Crucial skip the MX400 series? Well, the number four apparently doesn't sit well in Asian countries, much like the number thirteen in western countries, that's all there is to it.More durable than a hard drive – no small moving parts that are prone to failure.Dynamic Write Acceleration delivers faster saves and file transfers.Accelerated by Micron 3D NAND technology 64 Layer TLC.Over 90x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive.Random reads/writes up to 95k on all file types.Sequential reads/writes up to 560/ 510 MB/s on all file types.The NAND ICs are driven by a Silicon Motion SM2258 controller as well as a DRAM cache and a small partition that will be SLC written to keep write performance up-to-snuff. Also, installed NAND toolsets in the wafer fabs can, for the most part, be reused, thereby extending the useful life of the fab equipment. The good news is continued cost reduction, smaller die sizes and more capacity per NAND chip. In 3D NAND, NAND layers, not chips, are stacked in a single IC. 3D NAND is physical vertical NAND cell stacking not to be confused with chip stacking in a multi-chip package. For the MX series, Crucial moved away completely from planar towards 3D (vertically stacked) Micron NAND, and that should give it a nice boost in (especially write) performance when compared to for example the BX200 series. This allows Crucial to offer the big storage volume at a lower price point.

The sample that has arrived for testing is the 1 TB version of the drive. The MX500 series as stated will be fitted with TLC (Triple-level cell) written NAND flash memory from Micron. which capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB. Crucial will be offering three versions of the MX500 M.2.
