The Crucial T500 only released on October 31st 2023, yet not even a full three weeks later, its prices are being cut to noodles as part of the earlyBlack Fridaysales. A very welcome surprise, that – it feels like I only just finished adding it to ourbest SSDrankings, for its absolutely top-class performance in game load speeds.
To be sure, this is no aborted launch that’s now been doomed to the bargain bin. The Crucial T500 really is an elite NVMe SSD, up there with the WD Black SN850X andSamsung 990 Pro, and it even beat those drives in some of my read/write speed tests. Both the standard and heatsink equipped versions are on sale too, the latter being useful when your motherboard doesn’t include its own SSD heat spreaders.
