Crucial Crucial BX500 vs MX500, what are the differences, which one is better for you, will this publication show some differences between Crucial BX500 vs MX500? In addition, a MiniTool SSD upgrade tool will be shown.

These are two SSDs that sell a lot thanks to their rather low sales prices, with the added bonus that we can often find them on sale, making them excellent options for users who want a high-capacity SSD without having to spend too much money. Here you have for example the best selling models, 480 and 500 GB.

There is no doubt that if there is a flagship manufacturer of SSDs, that is Crucial.

They have an extensive catalogue and, actually, all the SSD models they have are usually top sellers because they are quite cheap. Today we're going to compare two of their SSDs with a 2.5″ format and SATA 3 interface, the Crucial BX500 vs MX500, to see which of the two models is more worth buying.

The Crucial MX500 should be higher than the BX500 because its price is higher. Let's look at its main features:

Although for most manufacturers the speed of writing and reading varies depending on the device's volume, in the case of the Crucial the same is true for all power, where the MX500 runs on the front of the BX500 though it is much smaller. Where it wins the most numbers is in the lifecycle used, because that MX500 is almost double that of the BX500, and the proof of this is that it has a 5-year warranty against the 3-year-old builder on the BX500 model.
