Crucial BX500
SATA · 2TB · $199.99 MSRP
Silicon Motion's SM2259XT controller runs the BX500 without a DRAM cache, keeping sequential speeds capped at 540/500 MB/s over SATA — Crucial's budget option at $199.99 for 2TB. Its 720TB TBW rating beats the P3 Plus's 440TB, though the three-year warranty runs two years shorter than either NVMe drive in Crucial's range.
