Crucial MX500 4TB SATA SSD

The Crucial MX500 CT4000MX500SSD1 is a 4TB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses Micron 3D NAND to deliver sequential speeds up to 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write. Integrated Power Loss Immunity protects saved work during unexpected power cuts.

SATA III interface

This drive connects through a standard SATA III port and the SATA protocol. The interface caps the maximum throughput, so the drive will not exceed the stated 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write on any system. Verify that your motherboard or laptop has a free SATA connector before purchase.

2.5-inch 7mm form factor with spacer

The SSD measures 7mm thick and ships with a 7mm to 9.5mm spacer for bays that require the taller height. Installation is a simple drive-bay mount and two cable connections. The most common issue is forgetting the spacer in taller bays, which leaves the drive loose and risks cable strain.

Questions about this item

What does the 560 MB/s sequential read mean once the drive is installed?

The 560 MB/s sequential read is the peak throughput the controller can sustain on large files; real-world speeds depend on the host SATA controller, cable quality and file system overhead.

How does the SATA III interface limit this SSD in practice?

SATA III caps theoretical bandwidth at 6 Gb/s, so the drive cannot exceed roughly 560 MB/s regardless of the NAND speed.

What physical space and mounting does the 2.5-inch 7 mm drive need?

It fits a standard 2.5-inch bay 7 mm high; a 7 mm to 9.5 mm spacer is included for 9.5 mm bays.
