You can benefit from a faster, cooler, and quieter computer at home or in the office. The hard drive will seem like a distant memory.

Count on a reliable drive when you upgrade

The Crucial MX500 has undergone thousands of hours of prerelease testing, dozens of SSD qualification tests, and has a heritage of delivering award-winning SSDs. Ensure the safety of your most vital files with a drive that is established and has these advanced features.

Keep sensitive information secure with hardware-based encryption that meets all industry standards, including Microsoft® eDrive, IEEE-1667, and TCG Opal 2.0.

Integrated Power Loss Immunity: Avoid unintended data loss when the power unexpectedly goes out. This built-in feature of our new NAND protects your data swiftly and efficiently, so if your system suddenly shuts down, you keep all your saved work.

Exclusive Data Defense: Prevent your photos, music, videos, and other files from becoming corrupted and unusable with layers of error correction and adaptive read technology.

Redundant Array of Independent NAND: Protect your data at the component level with an SSD that automatically provides parity protection for your data. This high-end feature works similarly to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives and maintains the integrity of your data, especially for intense users.

Built-in durability: Because SSDs don’t use moving parts that wear out over time (unlike hard drives), your files are less susceptible to a crash. SSDs are better equipped to survive physical trauma, like getting dropped, because they don’t rely on mechanical parts.
