Crucial T500 500GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD

The Crucial T500 is an internal solid-state drive designed around the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol. This configuration achieves sequential reading speeds of up to 7200 MB/s and sequential writing speeds of 5700 MB/s. The high transfer rate, paired with rapid random performance of 800,000 read IOPS and 1,390,000 write IOPS, positions the drive for demanding applications such as high-refresh-rate gaming and professional content creation.

Built using TLC NAND flash, the drive utilizes the standard M.2 2280 form factor for broad compatibility with current desktop and laptop systems. Its specified endurance rating is 300 Terabytes Written (TBW) over the product lifespan. Data protection is managed via built-in ECC, End-to-End Data Protection, and 256-bit AES hardware encryption supporting TCG Opal security algorithms. The thermal design relies on passive cooling, and the drive features a low average power consumption of 2.5 W.
