4TB SATA SSD for everyday storage

The Crucial MX500 is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive with a 4TB capacity and a SATA III interface. It uses Micron 3D NAND to deliver sequential reads up to 560 MBps and writes up to 510 MBps. Random performance reaches 95,000 IOPS read and 90,000 IOPS write. The drive is rated for 360TB written and 1.8 million hours MTTF.

AES 256-bit encryption and power loss immunity

Hardware based AES 256-bit encryption protects stored data from unauthorised access without software overhead. Integrated Power Loss Immunity preserves in flight work if power is cut unexpectedly. These features operate automatically and require no extra configuration or bundled utilities.

Check SATA port and 2.5 inch bay space

Verify that your motherboard has a free SATA III port and that the case or laptop has a 2.5 inch drive bay or compatible bracket. Confirm the operating system supports drives larger than 2TB for full capacity use. No additional drivers are needed for standard SATA operation.

Questions about this item

How long will the 4 TB MX500 last before the 360 TBW endurance rating is reached?

The drive is rated for 360 TBW of total writes; at typical consumer workloads this translates to many years before the NAND reaches its specified endurance limit.

What performance ceiling appears first during long sequential transfers on the SATA III link?

The SATA III interface caps sustained throughput at the drive's rated 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write, so the bus itself becomes the bottleneck before the controller or NAND.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" MX500 produce when running continuously all day?

With no moving parts and low active power draw, the SSD runs silently and generates minimal heat, staying well within normal operating temperatures during sustained use.
