Crucial MX500 vs Seagate FireCuda 510

I have over 2,000 hours of operation at the time of this writing on a 4 disk array of these in a hardware RAID 5 on a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller. On the plus side this has partial power loss protection and RAIN protections and it looks like it covers what it needs to while the controller with RAID controller BBU covers the rest.

Most popular Western digital and Samsung drives were in excess of $200 at time of purchase because prices of computer hardware were rising soon after COVID19 started

I have been using Crucial SSDs since 2010. After getting my first one, I never went with a different brand unless there was some unavoidable reason. Crucial has consistently delivered me quality products with excellent performance and longevity. To this day, I still use my first SSD from them and it works just as well as the day I got it

I need the Seagate firecuda 510 1tb nvme drive is because I can finally change to using an SSD for my brother's editing rather than from a Seagate barracuda 1tb drive and still have some space for games...

I bought two of these. This first review is for the 500GB SSD. My review for the 1TB drive is below. This serves two purposes for me

I need the Seagate FireCuda 510 because some extra SSD space to install all my games would be nice instead of having to uninstall everytime i wanna install another triple A game that's 100gb
