Conclusion StorageReview installed eight Crucial MX500 4TB SSDs in a Dell PowerEdge R740xd looking at RAID0 and RAID5 across the SSDs leveraging hardware RAID as well as Windows Storage Spaces. Turning the PCB around we find the Silicon Motion SM2259 quad-channel controller, 512MB DDR3L SDRAM module by Micron and two more 3D TLC NAND flash modules again by Micron. Exclusive Data Defense: Prevent your photos, music, videos, and other files from becoming corrupted and unusable with layers of error correction and adaptive read technology.

but the MX500 uses Dynamic Write Acceleration (DWA) which dynamically shrinks or grows the SLC cache size depending on the amount of data stored on the flash. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.Redundant Array of Independent NAND: Protect your data at the component level with an SSD that automatically provides parity protection for your data. This high-end feature works similarly to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives and maintains the integrity of your data, especially for intense users. Integrated Power Loss Immunity: Avoid unintended data loss when the power unexpectedly goes out. This built-in feature of our new NAND protects your data swiftly and efficiently, so if your system suddenly shuts down, you keep all your saved work. When it comes to small business and home lab IT decisions, sometimes thinking outside the box helps to create cost-effective and high-performance solutions. Crucial just released the new 4TB capacity of the long-standing MX500 SATA SSD, which may just be a perfect price and performance mix for a low-cost all-flash storage setup. We installed eight of these SSDs in one of our Dell EMC R740xd servers and measured performance using hardware RAID and Windows Storage Spaces.

Needing additional storage space is an issue that many people will find themselves running into eventually, particularly if you're a heavy PC user and are often creating, saving, and transferring files. Whether it be games or work-related documents, having larger storage capacity is something worth investing into and sales like the one available right now are arguably the best times to make that call. Many people have made inquiries about the charts in the past so once again please do keep in mind that the Charts have the average performance numbers of each drive recorded and not the peak (highest) ones. Also, although every single one of these programs can help potential buyers choose the right drive for their needs you should also remember that from any kind of benchmark up to real world usage the gap is not small (and usually most differences will go unnoticed by most people). All tests were performed in a fresh Windows 10 Pro x64 installation with every update installed up to the date of this review. Finally, as we look at bandwidth across our four configurations, we find the leaders all top out around 4GB/s. This is pretty good since if you look at this in terms of shared file storage (or scratch space with RAID0) you could easily saturate a 10Gb or 25Gb LAN connection. Write performance on both HW and SW RAID0 configurations came in around 3.2GB/s, while HW RAID5 dropped to 2GB/s. Software RAID5 took the biggest read and write hit, coming in at under 1GB/s read and 272MB/s write. the 4TB model can handle up to 1000TB (TBW) which equals to about 520GB writes per day.
