The CT250MX500SSD1 is a Solid State Drive (SSD) from Crucial, a well-known manufacturer of storage solutions. This model belongs to the Crucial MX500 series, which is known for its high performance and reliability. The CT250MX500SSD1 offers 250 GB storage space and is intended for users who are looking for a powerful and reliable storage solution. Here is the detailed information about the technical details, features and application areas of this SSD:
Technical details:
- Model Number: CT250MX500SSD1
- Storage capacity:
- 250 GB. This provides enough space for the operating system, basic applications, as well as documents and some media files. It is well suited for users who need a performance boost but don't necessarily need a lot of storage space.
- Form factor:
- 2.5 inch. This is the standard form factor for many internal SSDs and will fit most laptops and desktop PCs designed for 2.5 inch drives.
- Interface:
- SATA III (6 Gb/s). This interface enables a maximum data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s). The SSD is backwards compatible with older SATA standards such as SATA II and SATA I.
- Data transfer rate:
- Maximum sequential read speed: Up to 560 MB/s.
- Maximum sequential write speed: Up to 510 MB/s.
- These speeds provide a significant performance increase compared to conventional hard disk drives (HDDs).
- Random read and write speed:
- Up to 95,000 IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) for random read.
- Up to 90,000 IOPS for random writes.
- High IOPS numbers improve response times when executing programs and accessing small blocks of data.
- Controllers:
- The MX500 series uses the SMI (Silicon Motion) controller, which is known for its stability and performance.
- NAND type:
- 3D NAND Flash. The use of 3D NAND increases storage density and performance by stacking the memory cells vertically.
- Bug fix:
- Dynamic Write Acceleration and Error Correction Code (ECC). These technologies ensure high write speeds and high data integrity by optimizing write operations and correcting errors during data transfer.
- Dimensions:
- Width: 69.85mm
- Depth: 100.00 mm
- Height: 7.00 mm
- The 2.5-inch size is standard for internal SSDs and allows easy installation in most computers.
- Weight:
- About 45-50 g, which makes the SSD light and handy.
- Operating temperature:
- 0°C to 70°C. This operating temperature ensures reliable performance under normal operating conditions.
- Storage temperature:
- -40°C to 85°C. This temperature range ensures that the SSD is safe even under extreme storage conditions.
- Service life:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Over 1.8 million hours. This indicates high reliability and long service life of the SSD.
Features:
- SATA III interface:
- The SATA III interface offers high data transfer rates and is compatible with modern computers and laptops. This improves system performance through faster data transfers.
- Dynamic Write Acceleration:
- This feature uses fast SLC caching technology to accelerate writes. Data that is written frequently is stored in a faster cache, resulting in better write speeds.
- Integrated Power Loss Immunity:
- Protects against data loss in the event of an unexpected power failure by ensuring that all data is written correctly even if the power fails.
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES):
- The SSD offers 256-bit hardware encryption, which enables secure data encryption to protect data from unauthorized access.
- SMART monitoring:
- SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) monitors the health and performance of the SSD to detect potential problems early and extend the life of the SSD.
- Energy efficiency:
- The SSD offers better energy efficiency compared to traditional hard drives, resulting in longer battery life in laptops and lower power consumption in desktop systems.
Areas of application:
- System Upgrades:
- The CT250MX500SSD1 is ideal for system upgrades as it dramatically improves the performance of a computer. Replacing a traditional hard drive with this SSD provides faster boot times, shorter program launch times, and faster access to data.
- Laptop Storage:
- Perfect for laptops as it offers high performance while maintaining low power consumption. This SSD improves laptop responsiveness and battery life.
- Desktop computers:
- In desktop PCs, the SSD ensures fast loading times for operating systems and applications. It can be used as the main drive for the operating system, while an additional HDD can be used for larger amounts of data.
- Compact and mobile devices:
- Due to its rugged design and reliable performance, the SSD is also suitable for use in small or mobile devices where high performance and reliability are required.
- Gaming:
- The SSD is ideal for gaming as it offers fast loading times and fast data transfers, which enhances the gaming experience.
