![]() This utility will allow you to monitor the drive, check the S.M.A.R.T. The Crucial MX300 series is fully compatible with the Crucial Storage Executive Tool for easy drive maintenance. You also have two Micron DRAM chips that make up this drives 1GB of cache and then of course the Silicon Motion 2258 controller. Other than that you can see the MX500 1TB drive shown has 16 NAND packages that are 64GB in capacity each that are based on Micron’s latest 64-layer 3D TLC NAND technology. The new Micron 64-layer 3D TLC NAND paired with the latest firmware refinements allows for the data needing to be written to complete in a power loss situation without the need of external capacitors. This is because Crucial has replaced their usual power loss protection feature with something called power loss immunity. Notice that the row of capacitors that Crucial usually has on the PCB for power loss protection is no longer present. For the first time on the MX series we see that Crucial went with a Silicon Motion SM2258 controller, which just happens to be the same one used on the Crucial BX series with its 3D MLC NAND. Inside we see start to see some of the changes that Crucial made with this drive series. If you want to open this drive there are four Philips screws on the side that can be removed. The back of this 2.5″ 7mm z-height drive has the usual label, so nothing new to report here. Life Expectancy: 1.8 million hours MTTFįrom the outside the Crucial MX500 series looks pretty much like any other Crucial MX series drive as the front label hasn’t changed in years.Random R/W (IOPS): 95K / 90K (all capacities). ![]()
