Micron Quality: A Higher Level of Reliability

Micron redefines the frontiers of storage with technology that revolutionizes how we use data. Thanks to the synergy between Crucial and Micron, memory and storage drives are designed, tested, and refined at every stage of the production process.

1. Typical I/O performance figures based on measurements using IOMeter with a queue depth of 32 and write cache enabled. The drive is considered in a fresh out-of-the-box (FOB) state. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD can be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations may affect measured results.

2. A portion of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1 GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities are available at initial launch.

3. Comparison of average active power consumption based on published technical specifications for the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD and the Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX 1TB internal hard drive. All other Crucial MX500 SSDs with different capacities have comparable average active power consumption specifications.

• Sequential reads and writes up to 560/510 MB/s on all file types; random reads and writes up to 95k/90k on all file types.
   
• Accelerated by Micron 3D NAND technology.
   
• Integrated power loss protection preserves all saved work if power is suddenly interrupted.
   
• 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption keeps data safe and secure from hackers and malicious actors
