In terms of performance, the MX500 is in the upper range of SATA SSDs. It maxes out at a read speed of around 560MB/s, with write speeds closer to 510MB/s on this 1TB size. That makes it significantly slower than NVMe SSDs, even budget models which typically reach 2500MB/s at their peak, but the difference in random read and write speeds is actually quite minimal - and that’s reflected in very similar game load times between SATA and NVMe SSDs. In any case, let’s wrap up - a good solid SATA SSD, available for a historically low price, cheaper than an NVMe alternative while offering nearly the same performance in terms of game load times. Not bad! This sale price runs for today only, so do pick up the SSD if you’re in the market for extra game or media storage! You’re not likely to find a better price any time soon.
