2TB SATA drive for everyday PCs

The Crucial BX500 CT2000BX500SSD1 is a 2.5-inch internal SSD built with Micron 3D NAND for consumer desktops and laptops. It replaces a mechanical hard drive to deliver quicker boot times, faster file loads and snappier overall system responsiveness. The drive draws far less power than a typical hard drive, helping extend battery life in portable machines. No DRAM cache is included on the controller.

2TB capacity with SATA speed ceiling

Two terabytes provide ample room for an operating system, applications and a large media library. Sequential reads reach up to 540 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps, so large transfers and game level loads complete quickly. Sustained write performance will taper once the SLC buffer fills during very heavy workloads. The 1.5M hour MTTF rating reflects the endurance expected for typical consumer use.

SATA III interface limits

The SATA III link caps maximum throughput at 6 Gbps, so the drive cannot exceed its rated 540 MBps read and 500 MBps write regardless of workload. It operates reliably between 0°C and 70°C inside standard 2.5-inch bays. The package includes a 7 mm height SSD and Acronis True Image cloning software for straightforward migration.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 7mm SATA III SSD fit in a laptop bay that currently holds a 7mm hard drive?

Yes, the 7mm height matches the standard 2.5-inch 7mm bay used by many laptops, so the drive will fit without a spacer.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 540 MBps sequential read and 500 MBps sequential write after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on a fresh Windows install; you should see sequential read speeds approaching 540 MBps and write speeds approaching 500 MBps on the SATA III link.

Does the package include a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch desktop bracket or a SATA data cable, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains only the 2.5-inch 7mm SSD and a download code for Acronis True Image cloning software; brackets and SATA cables are not included and must be purchased separately if your system needs them.
