Crucial was hard at work in creating the successor to the MX300 SSD, aptly named the MX500. Whereas the MX300 showcased Micron's 32-layer 3D NAND flash memory, the MX500 showcases Micron's latest 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory, and this has enabled Crucial to increase the warranty length on the new MX500 to 5-years, instead of the 3-years offered on the MX300. I always tell people that a SSD is arguably the best single upgrade one can make for their computer. So without further ado, let's take a look at the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD and see what improvements Crucial have managed to achieve.
