How good is living in the future. Not too long ago an SSD of this size was not really feasible for consumers.
I paid $130 for the 500gb MX500 about a year ago now. Great to see these prices. Same for ram too.
Was this Disk Smith Deal? If so pretty sure it about 2 years ago.
Edit: Nevermind, it is the MX300 500GB.
It was through an ebay sale.
very happy with my 525GB MX300, have been using it now for +2 years. Although an older product i expect the newer model to be even better
Put one on backorder, would make a great games drive
This is a welcome.
I'm constantly making room to fit new things on my SSD.
Just my experience: I rolled out half a dozen of the MX300 SSDs at work, and have since replaced two that have failed with Samsung Evos. Hopefully it was just a bad batch?
my bx500 gets up to 75c on heavy write load. That's the version without any ram cache though maybe that's the cause?
My 2TB MX500 reached 65-70c under load in my well cooled home server. Those have caching and power protection.
We are using them in just a stock standard Asus Laptop from a few years ago. I never thought about temp, given they aren’t pushed all that hard. I did wonder if capacity was an issue. One machine sat at about 95% full. So the remaining sectors probably got a bit of a thrashing, and the wear wasn’t even.
@ageek: I just checked my SMART data for the drive and it says it's maximum lifetime temps were 85c in a well cooled case and that it's lost 3% of it's life in the 2 months I've had it. This compares to my twin bx500 which wasn't subjected to excessive writes of a 59c maximum and 100% life left.
They would run much hotter in a laptop, the pcb inside the ssd case isn't connected to anything so under sustained load the temps just keep rising in there.
Can this replace the 256 ssd already in my (mid-2015) 15” Macbook pro?
No, your MBP has a different type of SSD.
Shipping kills the deal for me :(
PM me if you want a free shipping code for PLE - I have a few left from their xmas bobble promotion last year that I'm not going to use by the time they expire at the end of this year.
Hey, I'd be interested in a free shipping code if you have extra as I have some PLE gift cards to use but it seems you don't accept new PMs. Is it possible to PM me instead? Thanks!
Done!
