Smart FAQs

Is this an NVMe SSD?

No. The Crucial MX500 M.2 2280 uses the SATA III interface over an M.2 connector, not NVMe. It delivers SATA-class performance (up to ~560/510 MB/s).

Will it fit my laptop?

Check your device specs for an M.2 2280 slot that supports SATA protocol. Some M.2 slots only accept NVMe; confirm SATA compatibility before purchase.

How much of a performance improvement will I see?

Expect much faster boot times, quicker app launches and snappier multitasking compared with HDDs—real-world speed gains depend on your system but are especially noticeable when replacing a mechanical drive.

Can I clone my existing drive to the MX500?

Yes. You can clone your OS and data using third-party cloning tools or imaging software. Always back up important data before cloning and follow manufacturer guidance for best results.

What does the 5-year warranty cover?

The 5-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature failure within warranty terms. Keep your purchase invoice and contact Vlebazaar or Crucial support for warranty assistance.

Do I need special drivers to use this SSD?

No special drivers are required for most modern operating systems. The drive is plug-and-play via the M.2 SATA interface; ensure your BIOS supports SATA M.2 devices and update firmware if prompted.
