Add space and speed with the Crucial MX500 2TB SSD on sale for $167


    Today at Amazon you can grab the Crucial MX500 2TB solid state drive for the lowest price we’ve ever seen at $166.99. That’s a huge discount given it more regularly sells for around $210 and was going for as much $230 earlier this year. Even when it drops in price, it usually only goes for around $190 on sale. While it’s still going for over $200 in some places like B&H you can find the 2TB for the same deal price at Best Buy.

    I think this is a great pickup for an SSD, and there’s a couple of good reasons you might want it. Of course, the biggest reason is that you don’t currently have an SSD. If you’re still playing games from a hard drive or don’t even have a boot SSD for your operating system, you absolutely should grab this one. The price is wonderfully inexpensive and you’ll get an instant boost in loading times.

    Another reason to grab this SSD is because you have upgraded already, but you couldn’t really get a whole lot of capacity since SSDs seem to increase in price exponentially the more space you go for. This is a 2TB drive. That’s enough to store your operating system, a bunch of games, a bunch of media like photos and video, and load it all with great speed.

    The MX500 has read and write times of 560 MB/s and 510 MB/s respectively. That’s not quite as fast as an M.2 NVMe solid state drive, but it’s definitely not bad compared to a normal hard drive. It also has this Power Loss Immunity feature that preserves your work even if you suddenly lose power. There’s also hardware encryption to secure your data and a 5-year warranty from Crucial.
