The CT120BX500SSD1 is a solid-state drive (SSD) from Crucial designed for various applications and devices. Here is detailed information about this model:
General description
The Crucial BX500 is a cost-effective SSD designed to improve system performance in desktop computers, laptops, and all-in-one computers. The CT120BX500SSD1 offers solid performance while benefitting from fast access times and increased durability compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs).
Technical details
- Capacity: 120 GB (Gigabytes)
- Form factor: 2.5 inches
- Interface: SATA III (6 Gbit/s)
- Read and write speed:
- Read speed: Up to 540 MB/s
- Write speed: Up to 500 MB/s
- Storage technology: 3D NAND Flash
- Cache: Depending on the model and revision, the cache may vary, but often the BX500 series does not use a dedicated DRAM cache.
- Operating temperature: Typically 0°C to 70°C
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Approximately 1,500,000 hours
- Security: No hardware encryption or advanced security features like some other models.
Features
1. High Performance: The high read and write speeds of up to 540 MB/s and 500 MB/s provide noticeable performance improvements during system startup, program launches and data transfers compared to traditional HDDs.
2. 3D NAND Flash Technology: Uses advanced 3D NAND technology that provides higher storage density and improved performance by packing more memory cells into the same area.
3. Energy Efficiency: SSDs like the BX500 have no moving parts, resulting in lower power consumption and less heat generation compared to HDDs.
4. Robustness and reliability: The absence of moving parts makes SSDs more robust against physical shocks and impacts.
5. Easy Installation: The BX500 is compatible with the common SATA interface, making it easy to install in most desktop computers and laptops.
Areas of application
1. System Upgrades: Ideal for upgrading computers to improve system performance and reduce boot times of operating systems and programs.
2. Laptops and Desktop Computers: Due to its compact size and common SATA compatibility, the BX500 is suitable for most desktop PCs and laptops.
3. Cost-effective storage solution: The 120 GB capacity makes it an economical choice for systems where large storage requirements are not required or for specific applications and operating systems.
4. Backup and storage solutions: Useful as an additional drive for backup purposes or for storing less frequently used data.
Further considerations
- Capacity: At 120GB, the capacity is rather limited, making it more suitable for systems or applications that do not need to store a lot of data. For more extensive storage needs, a larger capacity should be considered.
- Software Tools: Crucial often offers its own software such as the Crucial Storage Executive Tool or the Crucial SSD Toolbox that allow users to perform firmware updates and monitor the health of the SSD.
- Compatibility: Before installation, please ensure that your system supports the SATA III interface and has enough space for a 2.5-inch SSD.
The Crucial BX500 CT120BX500SSD1 offers a cost-effective way to boost computer performance while being a reliable choice for a variety of applications that require an SSD.
