Overview
Transform your
system's performance.
New interfaces and multitasking demands require more from
your system than perhaps ever before. From connecting instantly with friends and
accessing apps, websites, and playlists online, to simultaneously streaming
videos and downloading files, your computer is faced with an entirely new set of
performance expectations that a hard drive struggles to meet. That's where the
Crucial M500 SSD comes in. With data transfer speeds radically faster than a
high-performance hard drive, the Crucial M500 SSD isn't just a storage upgrade
it's a complete system transformation. From its nearly instantaneous boot times,
powerful data transfer speeds, increased multitasking capability, and rock-solid
reliability, the Crucial M500 delivers dramatic performance gains all at an
affordable price.
Ample storage
capacity with plenty of choice.
Available in capacities up to terabyte-class, the Crucial
M500 SSD provides plenty of storage for your ever-growing collection of photos,
videos, music, and important documents. Based on your storage needs, choose
between a 120GB, 240GB, 480GB, or 960GB* drive and access your programs and
files almost as soon as you click on them. If you prefer to store your data on
an external backup drive, in the cloud, or on your home network, opt for a
smaller capacity. Or if you'd rather have everything in one place, choose one of
our larger sizes. Whichever capacity you choose, our selection ensures that
you're able to find a drive that's the right combination of storage,
performance, and price.
Consistently Fast
Speeds. No Exceptions.
No matter what kind of files you're working with on a
Crucial SSD, you'll experience high speeds with no drop in performance across
different file types. Unlike other SSDs on the market, Crucial SSDs treat all
files the same, regardless of whether they're compressed or uncompressed. While
many SSDs on the market achieve faster speeds by using file compression, many of
the most common file types can't be compressed, resulting in SSDs that often
deliver slower speeds than advertised. This is important because the files most
people use every day videos, mp3s, advanced graphic files and zip files - are
compressed files and thus unable to be compressed any further. With a Crucial
SSD, the specs we advertise are the same specs you'll see in the real world.
Crucial SSDs.
Performance you can trust.
Crucial is a brand of Micron, one of the largest NAND
manufacturers in the world, and we design and develop our SSDs in-house using
state-of-the-art technology. This means four things: hundreds of SSD
qualification tests, over a thousand hours of prerelease validation testing, 1.5
billion dollars invested in R&D, and more than 30 years of industry
expertise. With our multi-billion dollar commitment to NAND development, our
record of patent and process innovation, and our award-winning customer support
team, we're dedicated to quality. For you, that means your SSD has been designed
with cutting-edge technology and it's been rigorously tested and approved. Don't
settle for anything less.
