Upgrading my PlayStation 5 with the Crucial T500 2TB SSD with Heatsink has been a game-changer. The installation was surprisingly easy, even for someone who doesn’t usually mess with hardware. Once installed, the PS5 recognized it immediately, and I was able to move my games over without any issues.What really stands out is the performance. Load times have noticeably improved, and everything feels so much smoother. Games like Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI, which are pretty demanding, launch almost instantly and run flawlessly. The built-in heatsink is a great touch—it keeps the SSD cool even during marathon gaming sessions, so I don’t have to worry about overheating.The extra 2TB of space is a blessing. I no longer have to juggle which games to keep or delete; I can finally have my entire library ready to go. Overall, I’m really impressed with the Crucial T500.

I have bought multiple M-Dot two drives over the last few years and my experience has been very mixed. I’ve had to return several as they either didn’t work or didn’t work as they should have. The experience with this project however, has been very good. It was easy to install and works as advertised. It was easy to set up and benchmark test. Show this to be a very fast product, I have had it now for several weeks and have had no issues. I bought this at a time where pricing was very reasonable and for the price, this is a very good product. If this is the first time you’re buying this product, make sure you read up on how to install it properly and enable it within Windows if you’re using on a PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great drive at a good price.

Choosing the ideal NVMe drive can be a daunting task. There are so many different manufacturers and specifications out there but I had read numerous reviews before going for this drive and it gets consistently good reviews.I got the T500 2TB as part of a project to refresh an old desktop PC which had been using an SATA SSD as the main boot drive. This is so much quicker than the old SATA SSD and makes the PC feel like new.The drive was installed into my PC without problem and was immediately detected and ready for use.It does need a heatsink fitted or it can get quite warm while running. It shouldn't get too hot without one, but any heatsink helping to keep the drive cool will keep the drive running for longer.

Superb performance

S.N. · 2 March 2025

Superb performance and works better than original NVME which was factory fitted in Dell 5520. Initially performance dragged for some days as I did a fresh install of OS and till the indexing settled down. Once the indexing of 650 GB data settled, performance improved and also i tweaked the performance by enabling momentum cache.

Crucial T500 2TB: Der unangefochtene Preis-Leistungs-Sieger für PS5, Laptop & Desktop!

D. · 4 June 2025

Ich habe die Crucial T500 2TB NVMe SSD getestet und bin restlos begeistert. Sie ist für mich der klare Preis-Leistungs-Sieger und eine hervorragende Wahl für jeden Desktop- oder Laptop-PC.Die Installation war dank des vorinstallierten Kühlkörpers denkbar einfach. Die SSD passte perfekt und wurde sofort erkannt.Die Performance ist beeindruckend: Mit bis zu 7400 MB/s Lesen und 7000 MB/s Schreiben werden die versprochenen Geschwindigkeiten voll erreicht. Ladezeiten von Programmen und Dateien sind drastisch verkürzt, und mein System bootet blitzschnell. Auch bei anspruchsvollen Aufgaben wie Videobearbeitung zeigt die T500 ihre Stärke.Ich bin immer der erste von meinen Freunden, der bereits im Spiel ist, während die anderen noch im Ladebildschirm hängen.Diese SSD ist PS5 kompatibel. Sie kann in einer PlayStation 5 Konsole als Erweiterungsspeicher verwendet werden.ACHTUNG!Um das volle Potenzial der SSD rauszuholen ist die Schnittstelle PCIe 4.0 x4 Voraussetzung.Bei PCIe 3.0 4x wird sie logischerweise gedrosselt.Fazit: Die Crucial T500 2TB bietet eine beeindruckende Kombination aus Geschwindigkeit, Zuverlässigkeit und einfacher Handhabung. Der vorinstallierte Kühlkörper und die konstant hohe Leistung machen sie zur Top-Wahl. Angesichts des Preises ist diese SSD eine absolut lohnende Investition. Ich kann sie uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Muhteşem.

Crucial T500 works on Dell XPS 8950

P. · 30 December 2024

Dell XPS 8950 desktop (Costco 2022 build) i7 Intel-12700, 32GB DDR5 RAM, AMD RX 6700 XT, PCIe M.2 Gen 4. Replaced the C: Drive with a larger and faster 1TB Crucial T500 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 by cloning with a Sabrent Model EC:SNVE USB TYPE C Tool Free Enclosure with no issues. Macrium Reflect Home X, the trail version, was used following an article from XDA-Developers.com “How to set up an SSD as boot drive for your new or existing computer”. I also referred to a older You Tube video by Access Random – “UPDATE: Using Macrium Reflect Free to Clone Windows to a Bootable M.2 SSD” to create a USB Rescue Media . The clone time was about 30 minutes using the Type C port (20 Gbps) on the rear of the computer. Removed the old drive and replaced it with the new T500. I did nothing to the BIOS and left the original settings as Boot [UEFI] and Boot Option one as [Windows Boot Manager] and SATA/NVMe Operation as [RAID ON]. The XPS booted up and ran fine with the exception of Norton having to have the KEY reentered to work. The T500 was recognized by the CrystalDiskMarkInfo program and the old Kioxia NVMe was not listed. With all the problem comments on RAID and UEFI settings in the BIOS, I was at my knowledge limits. Using the winsat disk command in the Terminal Admin mode the Sequential Read was 5980 and Write was 4993. The Crucial Spec Sheet lists their 1TB at 7300/6800. I did not turn on the Momentum Cache in the Crucial Storage Executive software. The current Firmware Version is P8CR003 and would not update to P8CR004 using the Crucial Storage Executive – there was a warning of “no drives were found in the system. This may be because your drives are allocated in a RAID configuration. You may proceed with a manual firmware update”. I will try Crucial Support for the answer. Overall, I am happy the way it turned out – thanks to the XDA-Developers and Access Random articles/video for Macrium Reflect.Update 12/31/2024 Called Crucial Support and the agent confirmed that in order to update/add the P8CR004 latest Firmware with Crucial Storage Executive I could not do this with a RAID configuration on the Dell XPS as it would affect other drives (HHD and SATA SSD) as well. This was why I was receiving the Warning or error. The agent also cautioned using Momentum Cache for the same reason – RAID being on in the BIOS. With my limited computer skills and knowledge, I chose to leave the T500 as is – after all it is twice as fast as the original Kioxia NVMe.Crucial has two FAQ’s to better explain the subject – The first, Storage Executive Fails to Update the Firmware on My SSD states, “Ensure that you are not using RAID mode in the system BIOS settings. RAID will often prevent many of the features in Storage Executive from working with your drive, AHCI is the preferred mode. Refer to your system manufacture for any help with this setting.” The second, Basics of RAID – “In terms of day-to-day use, RAID works similarly to a single disk, but diagnostic tools read data from a RAID configuration differently than they do a single SSD or hard drive. For example, Crucial Storage Executive is not fully compatible with some RAID controllers and configurations, and specific functions such as SMART reporting or firmware updates may not work at all in these unsupported environments, requiring the RAID to be temporarily disassembled for updates or troubleshooting of individual drives. Also, while modern operating systems and RAID drivers allow trim commands to run on SSDs in RAID, legacy operating systems and drivers may not properly support them, meaning functions such as Garbage Collection become more important for maintaining the highest performance from connected SSDs.”
