msmcleod Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I almost exclusively use crucial's - both MX500's and the older MX300's. I've never had issues we them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've replaced all the HDs in our laptops here at work with Crucial SSDs. No problems either. PS. THAT's a good price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 For the record, Jim Roseberry just put a Crucial 500 GB in my computer for the boot drive. It's running at full 6 Gigabits/sec, while my two Samsung Evo SSDs are running at 4 Gb/sec. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I just put a Crucial MX500 1TB from the offering a couple months back in my machine as a sample drive. It maxed out write speed and stayed there for the most part moving 463GB of Kontakt libraries from my Samsung 970 NVMe m.2 (X4) (also 1TB, and I wanted the Kontakt libraries off of that one). First Crucial I have owned, no issues noted, and the MX500s seem to be rated nicely. Edited July 17, 2019 by mettelus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT's a good price! Double ditto. I have used both MX300 and MX500s over the last few years without any issues. My current system has a 1Tb and 750Gb MX500 in it both operating at full SATA III speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael A.D. Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I too have a Crucial MX500 2TB... it's worked perfectly - I use it exactly for the OP's intended use - sample storage. And $183 is a GREAT price. I thought I had gotten a good deal last year for much more ($265?). It's nice to see SSD prices keep dropping - eventually, they will be the standard drive format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Much the same here - in the past 18 months or so I have replaced nearly all the drives in both my main music computers with Crucial 2Tb drives - so far no failures and they have really given both computers (which are around 4 or 5 years old) a new lease of life!!
