This SSD uses memory chips made by Micron, one of the oldest and largest chip makers. It has a DRAM buffer and an SLC write buffer, 2 important features for high performance and longevity. It has a metal chassis for heat dissipation. The specs on this drive are good, both read and write speeds are acceptably high. It is priced a little lower than drives from Samsung and other premium makers. It's price/performance ratio is good, I own several of these SSDs and recommend them.

Installed in a Mac Pro tower, 2010. Hey, no big mystery here. They work until they don't. As far as brand difference, I can see none that is significant. I'd lean to the company with the best QC in manufacturing and customer service. Performance difference between brands for most people is hardly an issue. The best feature of these drives is they are dead quiet, run cool, and speed up your machine considerably.

I ordered two Crucial 1TB SSD drives and formatted them on my Mac Mini 2018 system. 3D NAND is proven to be very durable and fast! Wow! Very fast! The price is very reasonable. In fact, I now have 4 TB in storage, 2 SSD and 2 fast HD. Looking forward to years of use. At some point I will go all SSD!

I love it it's my secondary drive in my computer but that is my computer requires a newer type of drive for the primary. I wish I can use this for the primary I would take the slightly slower speed for the fact that the new technology doesn't have very big drives. This is absolutely great it's fast and robust

The MX500 series SSDs use 3D NAND, which makes them much more durable than cheaper planar NAND without sacrifing speed. With as fast reads and writes as any premium SATAIII SSDs on the market, the $240 I paid for this 1TB device was terrific. I am using it in a Dell XPS 8920 for all my virtual machine files and my load times are only a few seconds and operations are swift. I recommend Crucial's MX500 line very highly.
