Crucial MX500 Vs. Samsung 860 Evo – The Best 2.5" Sata SSD of 2018 is…?

I need business cooperation. Please contact me on WhatsApp 8615919576303

Thanks for guiding me to buy SSD for my laptop, I was confused whether to buy Crucial MX500 but now I am pretty clear that I will go for MX500 as it is "cheaper" in India too by AUD 30 (INR 1550) as compared to Samsung EVO 860. Also, the performance of both of them are nearly the same.
Thanks again! Cheers!

I'd buy the Crucial because it is an American company.

so which one is worth to buy?

Get an extra 2-300 MBps enabling Momentum cache on Crucial MX and BX 500 if you have a battery backup

So guys, who is the winner??

Thank you for your right to the point review. I greatly appreciate you going to detail of comparisons with the knowledge of benchmarks and without wasting people's time trying to find out the differences.

Damn coming to this video 2 years later the prices sure have dropped. Pretty much by half.

6:22 – TBW for the MX500 is 360TB – not 300TB. That's quite a big difference.

Great review, has really made the choice harder as I wanted to believe the supremacy of Samsung. However when you mentioned the magician software and the fact I will be pairing it with a NVMe 970 plus in my rig I think Samsung won out. The optimisation options and ability to drill down has been useful on high end graphics processing

is Crucial SSD tlc or qlc?

Just got mx500, looked all day for measurements on what the HDD Bay would hold in my laptop, and crucial came through with the information I needed so I ordered a 2TB on the spot, and going by your results it seems it was a good buy.

I installed an SSD for the first time. It was in an old work computer, an Acer X480G. I used Samsung 860 Evo. Unfortunately the Samsung Data Migration software didn't create a successful bootable drive. Ultimately I needed to use Clonezilla bootable usb to do the clone.

MX 500 1tb only $119 at newegg 🙂

Should have thrown in a WD Blue 1TB into this battle royale

I would take the Samsung with ease of use and software.

How about the TBW ?
The different is massive TBW between both drive

It's say ta not saaaaataaaaaaaa😂

Is there a big difference in video editing speed between the 256 GB or the 512 GB on the SSD Drive?

I've considered several SSDs for upgrading an older lappy (DELL 5420 with i3-2330m 2×2,20 Ghz) incl. Western Digital Blue and Samsung 860 EVO. In the end I opted for MX500 500GB (these days I never go for less since I like to think that the more DRAM buffer is onboard the better SSD operates). The difference compared to 250GB 5400 rpm HDD should be noticeable, esp. counting the fact that the CPU is G2 socket and can be easily swapped for a i7-2640M 2×2,8 Ghz with more L3 cache and Turbo Boost.
Now waiting for the MX500 to arrive in the mail ))

No real difference? Phew; my SSD didn't 'lose' 😂 Chose it as apparently the 2tb SSD has the edge with longevity, & £60 cheaper. If you clone with Acronis but get only ye evil blue screen of death, & have tried the obvious solutions, try 'Rescue Media Builder' in Acronis; finally did the trick after days of trouble-shoot dead-ends, & much swearing 🙄

Macrium and EVO FTW

the temperatur is bullcrap I have both in my system, Samsung 860 500GB running my WIndows and Crucual MX500 2TB running my games and etc. Both underload the Crucial always 10-15°celcius hotter than samsung.

38 celcius on mx500 is a f bullshoit, i bought today one, i have 50 celcius doing only copy from another ssd, disk is outside PC and my room temp r about 23 BX series from Crucial is a fucking nightmare in terms of temps, i hit easy 75-80 Celcius doing only copy or insrtal the game, so no, temps 38 is a bullshit

Mx500 or adata su800 ???

Hi, i bought the crucial MX500 500-GB SSD and the actual usable drive size is only 465-GB is this normal? thx.

How about the longevity? Thats the most important, speed is all the same.

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM)

I had a Samsung spinner die a few years back, but never an SSD. Their SSD's are proven to be the most reliable.

How long did it take crucial to ship to you?

For cloning, I simply remove the old source drive and clone it to the new SSD within a desktop using Macrium….(no issues of cloning within an active Windows installation)

i prefer samsung on their High TBW warranty.

Since both are TLC,,, they are equal.

The 300 tb lifespan for the MX 500 and the 600 tb lifespan for evo is for the 500 gb models if i'm right. While the MX500 1tb and the sansung 1tb EVO are double that lifespan.

Crucial MX 500 is a beast. 👊😎

tbh I rather pay an extra 20 Euro for the Samsung drive based on the software that it associated with it

Those speed numbers aren't that important

These things look like HDD's after using nvme lol
