Fast SATA storage for notebooks and desktops

The Crucial BX500 is a 2.5-inch internal SSD that connects through a SATA interface. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and uses 3D NAND with dynamic write acceleration to speed up boot times and application loading. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption protects stored data.

Suits owners of older laptops

This drive fits any system with a standard 2.5-inch SATA bay and works with the included Acronis software for straightforward migration. Buyers who require the higher throughput of a PCIe interface or an M.2 form factor should consider other options.

Drops into a 2.5-inch bay

No extra adapters or brackets are needed for typical notebook or desktop installations. The drive draws power from the existing SATA power connector, freeing up an M.2 slot for other components while adding up to 1 TB of encrypted storage.
