At 2TB it suits large game libraries, video projects and photo archives, and it is the sensible way to make an older machine boot and load like a newer one. Note that a SATA connection caps out around 550 MB\/s, so treat this as a capacity and responsiveness upgrade rather than a step up from an existing NVMe drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5\" internal SSD, 7mm height, mounts in a standard drive bay with a SATA data cable and SATA power lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequential speeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 540 MB\/s read and 500 MB\/s write over SATA 6.0Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEndurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated at 720TB Total Bytes Written\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicron 3D NAND:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built with Micron 3D NAND flash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal monitoring, SMART reporting, error correction code (ECC) and TRIM support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSLC write acceleration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Writes land in a fast cache first, which is why very large sustained transfers settle to a lower steady rate than the peak figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMigration software:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes Acronis True Image for Crucial cloning software so you can move your existing installation across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2TB (formats to roughly 1.81TB usable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5-inch internal SSD, 7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA 6.0Gb\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 540 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 500 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEndurance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e720TB TBW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLife expectancy (MTTF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 million hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicron 3D NAND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0°C to 70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucial BX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5\" SSD x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcronis True Image for Crucial x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacked by a 3 year warranty.
