  • Faster boot and file loading with SATA speeds up to 540MB/s
  • 300% faster responsiveness than a typical hard drive
  • 45x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive for longer battery life
  • Micron 3D NAND technology backed by 40 years of memory innovation
  • 2000GB capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor for easy laptop or desktop upgrades

2.5-inch SATA SSD for system refresh

The Crucial BX500 is a 2000GB internal solid-state drive that connects through a standard SATA interface. It uses Micron 3D NAND technology to deliver sequential read speeds up to 540MB/s. The drive is designed to replace a mechanical hard drive in a laptop or desktop computer.

Upgrade path for SATA bays.

This drive suits owners of older laptops or desktops that only accept a 2.5-inch SATA device. It also fits builders who want a large-capacity storage volume without moving to a different connector type. Buyers whose systems lack a SATA port or a 2.5-inch bay should look at a different form factor.

540MB/s sequential read over SATA

The headline specification is the 540MB/s maximum sequential read speed across the SATA link. That figure determines whether the drive can saturate the host controller in a typical refresh scenario. If the platform requires higher throughput than the SATA bus provides, this model will not meet the performance target.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop or desktop need a 2.5 SATA drive bay and a SATA data cable for this 2000GB drive?

Yes, the drive uses a standard 2.5 SATA interface, so the system must provide a 2.5-inch bay or caddy plus a SATA data and power connection.

Will this SATA SSD work if I keep my older mechanical hard drive as a secondary drive?

The drive connects over SATA like a traditional hard drive, so it can coexist with an older HDD on the same controller without protocol conflicts.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the advertised 540MB/s read speed after installation?

Run a sequential-read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; a result near 540 MB/s confirms the drive is operating at its rated SATA performance.
