Surely I'd be better to pay the little bit extra to get the MX500.

The performance of the MX500 (in my opinion) isn't worth the extra $100 you would pay for the mx500.
On paper it isn't that much faster and im sure in reality the performance difference will be small (if it follows other incremental upgrades)
Both of them are part of the P20TECH deal so the price difference is like $20.
That makes it worth it :D
i haven’t. check crucial models specifics in a while and i have many of their drives, differences beside performance are also in onboard encryption chips and power capacitors so it can complete write cycles if PC power supply goes off.
@garage sale: The MX500 is the direct successor to the MX300. It changes from a Marvell controller to a Silicon Motion one. It also has the newer 3D NAND from Micron. The MX500 has a longer warranty and endurance rating. Otherwise the drives are pretty similar offerings including encryption and power loss features I believe. The MX500 sorts out some of the performance issues of the MX300 and beats previous benchmark SATA SSD's such as the Samsung 850 EVO in terms of performance.
Pay the extra and get an 850 Evo.
MX500 is now marginally superior, after reading reviews I ordered one the 20% deal. The 850 Evo is still great though.
It's competitive compared to previous models, but I think superior is far fetched. It's keeping up on the basic read/writes, but lacking behind on random read/writes.
Overall I don't thing there would be a real world difference between the two, but in theory the Samsung still does have the slightest upper hand in all but reading/writing large files (ie video files?).
@dyl: You are not wrong, Anandtech says the performance for MX500 is typically faster for everday use, but in either case they trade blows with performance. However MX500 is cheaper and offers the same 5 year warranty due to Crucial now using better quality NAND than they use too.
I have two Samsung SSDs and now 3 Crucial SSDs, no particular brand loyalty, just who is better for the price and Samsung Evo 850 now costs more.
There was an 850 Evo for the same price yesterday afternoon when I looked ($435 - 20%), seems they're all $445 now… Sneaky lol
Time to move on to NVME. They are 50-80% more expensive but up to 600% faster than SSDs.

this one looks good 280 after discount similar price as the Amazon US dealMod pls delete error in info
Hi Shannon. Is there any error? Please use the report button
I was tempted as I have a newer NVME mobo but I think the price will come a lot closer to regular sata SSDs sooner rather than later .
cant stick an nvme in an xbox one though :)
Get one 250GB NVME, get one 1TB SSD and the rest for HDD. Well, that is what I did.
As above mentionrd, still more common for 240-256GB m.2 + 1TB SSD. It saves around $200-300 without any real major impact to performance.
The gap is getting much closer, but in current times it's still far more cost effective this way and realistically not much less performance. (Do you really need games loading in 3 seconds instead of 5-6 when everyone else is taking at least 10-15? lol)
Any idea on comparison on MX300 vs samsung 850/860 EVO. I'm looking at the 275GB vs Samsung 250GB?
Price is a little bit different, but is it worth it and Crucial has 25Gbs more.The Samsung 850 EVO is better than the Crucial MX300. Mind you it's not the sort of performance difference you would notice in everyday usage. The newer MX500 from Crucial is much closer to the 850 EVO in terms of performance and even beats it out in some categories although does only come in 250GB I believe.
When will we ever see the 750GB for $140 ever again.
You're smashing it with these apparent non-existent deals stub!
