MX500 has been thoroughly tried, tested, and proven. Secure yourmost important files on a drive with established dependability and theadvanced features MX-series SSDs are known for.

Crucial® MX500 SSD advanced features
Hardware-based encryption: Keep personal files and confidential data restricted from hackers andthieves with AES 256-bit encryption that meets all industry standards, including Microsoft® eDrive, IEEE1667, and TCG Opal 2.0.

Integrated Power Loss Immunity: Avoid unintended data loss when the power unexpectedly goes out.
This built-in feature of our new NAND protects your data swiftly and efficiently, so if your system suddenly
shuts down, you keep all your saved work.

Exclusive Data Defense: Prevent your photos, music, videos, and other files from becoming corrupted
and unusable with layers of error correction and adaptive read technology.

Redundant Array of Independent NAND: Protect your data at the component level with an SSD that
automatically provides parity protection for your data. This high-end feature works similarly to how RAID isused with multiple hard drives and maintains the integrity of your data, especially for intense users.

Built-in durability: Because SSDs don’t use moving parts that wear out over time (unlike hard drives),
your files are less susceptible to a crash. SSDs are better equipped to survive physical trauma, like getting
dropped, because they don’t rely on mechanical parts.
