Questions about Mx500

Can also be installed in a PC. The notebook package comes with a 9.5mm adapter, otherwise the SSD might be too thin with its 7mm. Attached is a picture: https://www.jcbtechno.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Crucial-MX500-SSD-1-To-contenu-coffret-1024x768.jpg

YES! The enclosure accepts 8.9mm high drives and the drive is less than 8mm thick (just read the specifications of both products!) As far as I'm concerned, I used the SSD as an upgrade of an old Dell Precision 4700 when I switched to W10. The original Dell SSD was already a Crucial 250GB, one of the first generations of SSDs, which has worked without any problems for over 6 years! A very good product! Sincerely, Andrei

1TB is a bit big for the cache in my opinion. If you buy the 500GB or 250GB you could save some more money. (sry Digitec :-))

Whether there will be a discount specifically on this product is not entirely clear :-)
But you can add the product to your watchlist, then you will get an email when it becomes cheaper 💪

This should work without any problems. The Crucial MX500 is 7mm high, possibly the hard drive now installed in the HP notebook is 10mm high, so the Crucial MX500 will definitely fit.

Hello, so far I have not seen a definition for "New + Tested". No cut-off values either.

Based on my experience, I would define it as follows:

(1) for "As Good As New + Tested" I see opened original goods which have been returned but are externally and theoretically internally new but used. The product is complete and works. There is full warranty / guarantee from the seller. The manufacturer's warranty is also still available. Crucial support is very helpful.

(2) Smart values: You have to assume that the SSD is used for performance tests or does not actually fit the intended use. I would classify "not suitable for the intended use" as rare. Performance or power tests in the majority. I can see this in the data already written, which is actually always between 1.5TB and rarely 7TB. I don't have the total TBW of the SSD in my head, but for my applications it's irrelevant. So far, all 14 or so SSDs have shown no problems. If TBW is important, it's better to use an enterprise SSD anyway.
