QLC SSDs started to appear only in late 2018 which isn’t that long ago. But yeah, you’re right, we need to update this section. Sorry for a bit dated info. Working on it.

Hi,

Thank you for the comment. You are right.

Our writers often analyze user reviews to come up with cons and almost all negative reviews for MX500 are about failure. The thing is that Mushkin REACTOR or Kingston SA400S37 (and frankly many other SSDs) have the same complaints. So you are right, we can’t say that MX500 has a “higher” chance of failure. We are replacing it with your con=) Thank you so much for noticing this.

We’ll work on improving the content quality and level of research.

Sorry this happened.

That is completely incorrect, if anything Crucial drives (especially the MX500) are very known to being “resilient” to data loss/failure. especially seeing as the MX500 compared to all their previous drives had and even higher warranty limit AND endurance, overall better than many other sata SSD out there in this regard.

Good list and all, but try to be a bit more “truthful” in your suggestions and ratings IMO

I probably would put a more ACCURATE con such as
*sometimes runs a bit hotter than other Sata SSD because may not use enough tim pad/tape under the casing*

other sata SSD similar speed specs run ~40-45 max the MX500 can hit 55-68c easy enough under heavy sustained workload because they seem to only use one small square of a tim pad under/in the casing from chips to the casing, tiny metal heatsinks probably would help a great deal and/or just more thermal pad/tape to make better conductivity
