The Crucial T500 PRO Internal SSD made by Micron, is a complete beast when it comes to gaming performance and load times. The same holds true with photo and video editing and other Content creation performance. It definitely proves itself and is a great bang for your buck to provide 2TB of storage at over 7GB/s read/write speeds. The PCIe 4.0 technology crushes the last gen PCIe 3.0 speeds and even works in multiple applications with out a hardware upgrade because the PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible on PCIe 3.0 hardware. Who would think that such storage performance would one day come from a device so small. It is truly remarkable. The build quality of the SSD is superb and although this model does not come with a built in heat sink, its performance in gaming load times is much faster. Between several games that have notoriously long load times like Forza Horizon 5, and even older games like GTA 5, I was able to load GTA5 ten seconds faster and Forza Horizon 5 six seconds faster. This card is usable in multiple platforms and the heatsink version is even usable in upgrading your PS5 storage. This version is great in laptops, desktops, and workstations. I also find it re-assuring that Micron is even offering a 5 year warranty on this SSD to bolster its confidence in performance and longevity. It is recommended by windows 11 to disable core isolation and virtual machine platform when running this hardware for improved gaming storage performance. Overall I have been very impressed by the storage capacity and speed of this SSD. It is a great benefit to my gaming set up and is well worth the price point. I highly recommend.

The Crucial - T500 2TB Internal SSD is a great option if you’re looking to expand you storage capabilities and want fast performance. I have been using the Crucial 2TB internal SSD to store games on my gaming PC. It has worked very well and load times for games like Starfield, Baldurs Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy etc. have been fast. The problem with games as they get better and bigger worlds to explore is that they get larger in the process. With games over 100GB these days you definitely want that extra storage. So far 2TB has been enough for me. I have Windows OS on its own 1TB drive so I only have games on the Crucial SSD. When I know I’m done with a game I delete it from the drive so space hasn’t been an issue. If you’re someone who likes to have many games loaded to a drive and always ready to go, you might want to opt for a larger size or run multiple drives. Crucial is a great brand if you’re in the market for a new SSD. I have had no issues with their products over the years and definitely recommend this SSD. The hardest part will probably be deciding which size you actually need and I’d recommend at least 2TB.

The Crucial T500 is an outstanding SSD. Whether SSDs or RAM, Crucial has been one of my go-to brands in system building and upgrading for many years, with their products always providing high quality and reliability. The T500 sits in that tradition. The T500 is a Gen4 x4 NVMe drive in a 2TB capacity (others available). It's form factor is an M.2 2280 and it's a single-sided SSD with no heatsink, although it is available with one. The packaging is pretty simple and largely consists of the SSD itself. No mounting screw is given, so make sure you have a spare M.2 one available. You can download Acronis True Image from the product support page as well online. I tested this SSD on my personally built gaming PC with a Core i9-12900KF, 32GB of DDR4-3600 RAM, and an RTX 3080, all on an MSI Pro Z690-A DDR4 motherboard with fully-updated Windows 11 and core isolation disabled. The T500 is based on 232-layer 3D TLC NAND and is rated up to 7,400MB/s reads and 7000MB/s write speeds. These are lofty ratings that would make this drive exceptional for demanding gamers and content creators alike. The drive also supports Microsoft DirectStorage to enhance gaming performance. My testing fell just short of those rated "up to" numbers, but they were very close, and markedly faster than any other NVMe drive I own. My fastest reads were 7211MB/s and my fastest writes were just a shade under 7000MB/s, at 6970MB/s, so I'd call the speed ratings accurate to real world experience. Testing was done with the latest version of CrystalDiskMark. As I said, I've always held Crucial in very high regard and this product meets that expectation. Its performance is blisteringly fast and at that level, very few could be disappointed in it. Whether you're a gamer or a content creator who needs top performing storage, this drive should be on the top of your list for consideration. Highly recommend.

I have an ASUS ROG G14 laptop that I installed this in. The stock SSD was only 512 GB, so I was happy to upgrade to this 2 TB SSD. Installing this drive was very easy but that probably depends on the laptop you are installing it on. I had no problems getting it to work. It should be easy to install on most laptops. This drive is really fast. My old drive was rated for 5000 MB/s while this drive is rated for 7400 MB/S. The boot time on my old drive was around 13 seconds. The boot time on this drive is around 5 seconds so it is significantly faster. In addition to the faster boot time, games also loaded much faster. The endurance is rated at 1200 TB as opposed to my stock drive that was rated at 500 TB, so I expect this to last a lot longer. Like all other SSDs, it is advertised for 2 TB, but you only really get about 1.8 TB. This is totally normal but worth mentioning. For anyone looking for a very fast drive that has plenty of space for all your data and games, look no further. This is a great drive I can highly recommend.

The Crucial T500 2TB Internal SSD is a very simple upgrade to give you more space to save your most important items directly on your device with no need to have an external drive because your memory is not enough. The set up could be more for someone with an intermediate experience, as it may require you to image your computer in order to transfer the information over to the new drive. Some devices do give you the option to install as a second drive without having the need to image your device. Overall, I love the additional space I now have with the Crucial T500 Internal SSD. The 2 TB option is more than enough space for many users of course, if you are the type that carries so much information around you may need an external drive but for your everyday use and most users this is the perfect fit. Crucial does an Ext ordinary job with their devices and i completely trust them. This drive is very solid and you can tell quality when you feel it and see it. I would totally recomend this drive for someone who is looking to add more space to their current set up.

It was delivered quickly by Best Buy. I have two crucial T500 2TB in raid 0 on my Razer blade 18 2024 model and they work flawlessly. Very fast this way for loading games and transferring big files.

Very fast, easy to install, what more can you ask for?
