Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5" Internal SSD

The Crucial CT250MX500SSD1Z is a 2.5-inch internal solid state drive that lets you replace a sluggish hard drive with responsive, modern storage. Built on 3D NAND technology and connected through a standard SATA interface, it delivers the kind of speed that makes an older desktop or laptop feel new again.

With sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and write speeds up to 510 MB/s, everyday tasks like system booting, launching applications, and transferring large files happen in moments instead of minutes. Photographers moving raw images, students juggling class projects, and gamers loading expansive worlds will all notice the difference right away.

The drive installs easily in most PCs that accept a 2.5-inch SATA device. Slide it into an existing drive bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, and your system is ready for a noticeable performance upgrade without complicated setup.

Data protection features are built in. AES 256-bit hardware encryption helps keep sensitive files secured, while integrated power loss immunity guards against data corruption if the power cuts out unexpectedly. These safeguards make the MX500 a smart option for remote workers, travelers, and anyone who values peace of mind alongside speed.

Whether you need extra space for family videos, a faster workspace for creative projects, or a reliable drive for daily computing, this SSD offers a balanced mix of performance, security, and long-term reliability backed by Crucial’s trusted support team.
