SSD Drive Crucial BX500 480GB 2.5" SATA III 3D NAND black

Crucial BX500 480GB 2.5" SATA III 3D NAND SSD Black

The Crucial BX500 solid-state drive with a capacity of 480GB is an efficient solution for significantly upgrading the disk subsystem of your computer or laptop. The use of Micron 3D NAND technology significantly speeds up the operating system boot time, reduces the launch time of heavy applications, and enhances the overall responsiveness of the software environment. Unlike traditional hard drives, this SSD has no moving parts, making it silent in operation, resistant to vibrations, and more energy-efficient.

Performance and Advantages of 3D NAND

The Crucial BX500 drive is designed to provide consistently high data transfer speeds through the SATA III interface. The use of multi-layer 3D NAND flash memory provides increased data storage density and an extended write endurance compared to planar structures. This ensures reliable device operation even under intensive daily loads typical for office work, multimedia editing, or gaming.

Compatibility and Versatility

Thanks to the standard 2.5-inch form factor and 7mm case thickness, the drive is compatible with most modern systems. It is ideal for installation in laptop, ultrabook, and desktop PC bays. The SATA 6Gb/s connection interface is backward compatible with previous generation ports (SATA II), allowing you to breathe new life into even outdated computers, significantly enhancing their performance without replacing major components.

Recommendations for Selection and Installation

When choosing the Crucial BX500 480GB drive, ensure that there is a free SATA port and power cable in the system unit or a corresponding slot in the laptop. This memory capacity is optimal for use as a system disk for Windows or macOS, as well as for storing a working library of documents and games. For data transfer, it is recommended to use specialized software (e.g., Acronis True Image for Crucial), which simplifies the process of cloning the old disk to the new SSD.

Usage Method

The device is installed in a free 2.5" slot and connected using a SATA interface cable and a power cable. After physical installation, the disk must be initialized through "Disk Management" in the operating system, a partition created, and formatted (the NTFS file system is recommended for Windows or APFS/HFS+ for Mac). The drive is ready for use immediately after formatting and does not require the installation of additional drivers.
