Crucial’s MX500 1TB SSD is currently £111

SSD pricing has decreased significantly in 2018, making Solid State Storage more accessible than ever before to PC builders. Today, we will highlight just one of the many SSD offers that are available this holiday season, with Crucial’s 1TB MX500 costing £111 at Amazon UK, delivering a lot of value to PC builders. 

When compared to mechanical hard drives, SSDs offer faster boot times and software loading speeds, increased system responsiveness, making storage one of the most impactful upgrades that PC users can utilise. With today’s SSD prices, it is hard to recommend building a PC that lacks SSD storage, with 250GB drives costing as little as £30, offering enough storage space for your OS and a few useful applications/games.    

For those who want to place the most frequently played games on Solid State Storage, the merits of 1TB SSDs quickly become apparent, especially as game files stretch to 100GB sizes, thanks to the push for 4K resolutions and textures/video to match. 

With a price tag of £111, Crucial’s 1TB MX500 offers PC builders a lot of value, delivering read/write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 510MB/s, sitting at the peak of what the SATA interface is capable of.
