      good spot!

    • hongerwonger on 09/10/2020 - 01:19

      Hm should I wait til prime days or black Friday?

      • johangules on 09/10/2020 - 02:59

        possibly should

      • jace88 on 09/10/2020 - 08:12

        I’d wait and see what comes out on prime day given the 2TB MX500 has been hovering in the sub $300 price range quite a few times lately.

    Decent price for a very good drive.

  • DarthAntz on 09/10/2020 - 01:34

    perhaps due to the bad press from a firmware problem this week

      Didn't realise SSDs had firmware to update

      • Merlict on 09/10/2020 - 02:07

        They do.

        Generally the rule is.. if it ain't broke don't mess with it. Same with motherboard BIOS unless you need some of the changes leave it alone.

  • Cheapascents on 09/10/2020 - 01:39

    hmm need a m.2 drive when the ps5 comes out, waiting until then

    • yummycoot on 09/10/2020 - 10:25

      You will need M2 NVME, wait for Sony to partner up with some company like Microsoft did with Seagate then see if those products are same as currently released NVMe M2 ssd drives such as Crucial P1, Samsung 970/980 etc

    On the one hand, this is a good price for a 2TB MX500, but on the other hand, we've regularly seen 1TB MX500 drives for around $130

    i think it needs to come down another $10-20 to be worthwhile getting this over not having two 1TB drives

    • petry on 09/10/2020 - 02:28

      definitively what do you do when a 2tb ssd dies ? I don't see the point after 1tb really

      cloning 1 to 1 periodically seems more cost efficient, with a backup.

        Whats the point after 120GB?

          120GB? This is a stupid comment.
          People have differing needs, different set-ups and different reasons for wanting an SSD larger than 120GB

          The ability to install call of duty warzone

          Currently at 250gb install.. and climbing

      I used to think linearly like you until I ran out of drive bays and SATA cables. That being said I don’t disagree because 1TB seems to be the sweet spot for SSD pricing.

    • garage sale on 09/10/2020 - 14:31

      for laptops, people often only have space for a single SSD, so if 1TB is filling up, you have to move to 2TB or clean-up.

      • petry on 09/10/2020 - 18:53

        wouldn't usb 3 on an external cheaper drive play games assuming that's what you mean? photos and spreadsheets same? ssd file recovery is like really specialist - its a bit like a phone or a tablet if u get what i mean..

  • dts88 on 09/10/2020 - 07:34

    Ordered A2000 on 19/09 and still not arrives.

    • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 09/10/2020 - 12:40

      i did the same for amazon but i paid about $10 or so more but got it within 2 days of ordering.

  • ca6leguy on 09/10/2020 - 07:51

    This or EVO 860 for a slightly higher price?

    • yummycoot on 09/10/2020 - 10:27

      EVO 860 has better cloning software and slicker performance monitor. Better scores too

    • jp1011 on 09/10/2020 - 23:15

      Both are top tier SATA drives so no practical performance difference.

  • dibbz on 09/10/2020 - 08:48

    Be warned mx500's need a 3rd party app to read all the smart data in linux you cant get with smartmontools, but chances are if you use unraid or something that is not possible and you have to disable smart attribute 197 to stop false alerts which is highly undesirable.

  • blueberrybear on 09/10/2020 - 10:43

    870 QVO 2.5" 2TB $254.75 after PLUSNEW coupon code with ebay plus, and after $30 cash back from samsung.

    • Ughhh on 09/10/2020 - 10:53

      Qvo is more comparable to the bx500 version from what I read.

    • falconNinja on 09/10/2020 - 12:14

      The SSD's are basically identical, so this is the better deal.

  • Mister Popo on 09/10/2020 - 10:56

    Not really cheaper than the 1tb drives, but if you're starved of sata ports then it's fine I guess

    • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 09/10/2020 - 12:41

      yeah right? everyone kept saying prices will price. Prices will fall. Its staying the same…?

      • garage sale on 09/10/2020 - 14:34

        there are base costs they can't escape, e.g the packaging, the drive housing, etc, so until they move to different die sizes, it's twice as many chips, so costs twice as much. And the newer die densities would be used on M.2 hence check the cost of 2TB NVME ….. so 1TB is cheap because of old tech, 2TB costs double because twice the old tech.

        • petry on 09/10/2020 - 18:54

          2tb less demand - less units - higher price 1tb old lots of them cheaper price.

        • jace88 on 12/10/2020 - 09:54

          Or alternatively, newer competition comes out which is cheaper and those with existing stock need to flog it to get rid of it! I'm hoping for this especially after watching the DF video that SATA or NVMe drive doesn't make a difference for loading "legacy" games on Xbox Series X - but I need to find a good USB to SATA cable.

  • BruOz on 09/10/2020 - 14:18

    Anyone knows of any good deal for a 500GB SSD possibly crucial MX, thanks
