Rok Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Greetings. I am looking forward to upgrade my old HP laptop, which currently contains a 1TB Seagate SSHD, to a 1TB SSD. I have identified the following SSDs on Amazon and would greatly appreciate your guidance on which option would be the most suitable for medium to high computing tasks, including some video editing: 1. Crucial BX500 1TB 2. Crucial MX500 1TB 3. Samsung EVO 870 4. WD Green SATA 1TB 5. WD Blue SA510 Please note that items 2 and 3 are nearly double the cost of the other options.

SouthernStar Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Crucial MX500 1TB is highly regarded, as you said you pay more, Pretty hard to get a MX500 these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZeb Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Hi, I'm sure there are several technical considerations that can be done for each of those SSD's, one thing that you may want to check is the warranty! from your list the MX500, WD Blue SA510 and EVO 870 have a 5 years warranty.

lurch234 Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 7 hours ago, MrZeb said: a 5 years warranty. It's 5 years or the maximum TBW! Which is 400 TBW according to the MX500 data sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZeb Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 @lurch234 All the SSD's warranty specify a max TBW. The Crucial BX500 have only a 3 years warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch234 Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 @MrZeb Then why didn't you mention this in the first place? The poster might not be aware of that info. And why are you mentioning the BX500? I was only referring to the MX500. One of the three you said had 5 yr warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhotemia Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 i have been using a crucial mx500 256gb for approximately 6 years without any issue. i too think from the list this is the best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
