Crucial T500 Pro Gen4 2TB SSD Review – Move Over Expensive 8-Channel High End SSDs!

CRYSTAL DISK BENCHMARK VER. 8.0.4 x64

Crystal Disk Benchmark is used to measure read and write performance through sampling of random data which is, for the most part, incompressible. Performance is virtually identical, regardless of data sample so we have included only that using random data samples.

AS SSD BENCHMARK VER 2.0

The toughest benchmark available for solid state drives is AS SSD as it relies solely on incompressible data samples when testing performance. For the most part, AS SSD tests can be considered the ‘worst case scenario’ in obtaining data transfer speeds and many enthusiasts like AS SSD for their needs.

ANVIL STORAGE UTILITIES PROFESSIONAL

Anvil’s Storage Utilities (ASU) are the most complete test bed available for the solid state drive today. The benchmark displays test results for, not only throughput but also, IOPS and Disk Access Times. Not only does it have a preset SSD benchmark, but also, it has included such things as endurance testing and threaded I/O read, write and mixed tests, all of which are very simple to understand and use in our benchmark testing.

AJA VIDEO SYSTEM DISK TEST

TxBENCH

TxBench is one of our newly discovered benchmarks that we works much the same as Crystal DiskMark, but with several other features. Advanced load benchmarking can be configured, as well as full drive information and data erasing via secure erase, enhanced secure erase, TRIM and overwriting.

    Right now on Amazon (11/6/23), using the above link:
    2TB no heat sink is $119.99
    2TB with heat sink is $124.99
    This is truly unbelievable. I am currently buying parts for a new build. I had planned on a 990 Pro, but not any more! The Crucial T500 2TB replaced it on my list, and I see no justification for a gen 5 SSD, considering the reviews here at TSSDR. Thanks for an excellent review

    I just bought two of the 2 TB Crucial T500 (no heat sink) SSDs using the link above today (1/1/2024) for $107.99 each.
    These prices for such an outstanding performer are unbelievable.
    After reading the review on TSSDR when the Crucial MX100 came out, I bought the 500 GB 2.5″ SSD, if I remember correctly, for at least as much as I paid for one of the 2 TB T500s I just bought.
    Things certainly have changed over the years, and I’m thankful for that.
