SSD prices have unfortunately risen in recent months, making upgrading storage an expensive venture. However, there are now finally signs that the cost of picking up an additional or larger drive is beginning to fall. Case in point, Crucial T500 makes for an enticing upgrade.
Crucial T500
“Fuel your system performance with the T500 Gen4 NVMe SSD.” – Crucial
Crucial T500 complete with heatsink is available for as little as $79.99 on Amazon, netting you a saving of 49% ($76) for 1TB of capacity. If you need more space, you’ll find 2TB and 4TB alternatives for $132.99 and $309.99, marking a saving of 37% ($77) and 14% ($49) respectively. UK shoppers can enjoy similar savings too, ranging from 23-38%.
T500 ranks among the speediest PCIe 4.0 SSDs out there, with sequential read speeds of up to 7,400MB/s and sequential writes of 7,000MB/s. These credentials combined with its built-in heatsink make it a prime choice for a PC or PS5, offering speedy load times that it’ll maintain with a cool head.
The SSD is as fast as it is reliable, boasting a 600TBW endurance rating per TB of capacity. While this metric is relatively standard fare across the industry, it’s still markedly robust. For context, you’d need to install the likes of Doom: The Dark Ages almost 9,000 times on T500 before hitting that threshold.
With this in mind, you can rest easy knowing all your data is in safe hands as a five year warranty covers each T500 courtesy of Crucial. The brand also includes Acronis True Image for free, allowing to quickly clone a backup of your SSD for added peace of mind.
Speaking from personal experience with T500 in my MSI B650M Project Zero review and beyond, it’s a reliably fast storage option that doesn’t stray from its advertised speeds. It comes firmly recommended to those in search of a speedy SSD that’s on the more-affordable side of the market.
