Go for DRAM based SSD if you want no compromise speeds and longer life or if you are a power multimedia user.
#PROBLEMS WITH CRUCIAL STORAGE EXECUTIVE PLUS#
I shortlisted this Crucial and Samsung 870 evo(my choices also included WD blue SA510 & ADATA SU650), but eventually went with Crucial as it wasġ) Good brand with less complaints from users(did some digging into forums) unlike samsung where many got their 870 corrupted after some 2-4 years, WD blue also had serious deadness issues and personally I don't wanna mess with corrupted or dead HD's😑, plus Crucial is made by Micron company which also supplies FLASH memory modules for other companies to make their own SSD's, so kinda reliable throughout industries 😉.Ģ) Good price and offer especially for 500GB version.(It again got reduced to 4175/- & 4125 now from Appario Retail😑, you might get it even cheaper from Appario itself)ģ) I'm not a gamer, just a normal/multimedia user with some Image editing here and there + normal jobs, and M2 slots were not available on the motherboard for those new NVMe SSD's, so this was the only possible solution to give some new life to my old PC.Ĥ) This is one of those SSD's in this price range with DRAM, meaning it'll have longer life than DRAM-less SSD's like crucial BX500, EVM, and all other inexpensive SSD's.

And a quick test confirms the manufacturer promised speeds(provided you are using it on the "SATA 3" port on the motherboard- VERY IMPORTANT👈🤚). The pictures are given comparing the size to an older 500GB 7200RPM HDD from Seagate. 👉The Boot time has become 13.63 or 12 seconds from 20 seconds(previous old HDD was a 500GB 7200RPM Seagate), the shutdown time reduced from >2mins to just 13.43seconds😮😉. Bought this Crucial SSD after doing some good research during this festive sale and it has made my 8 year old Core i3 + 8GB Ram Desktop super-fast🤩.
