Update - 31/10 10:30 (CET): We're currently looking into a potential firmware issue with the T500. Apparently, some others had reported issues with post-SLC performance, mentioning speeds can drop to 300MB/s in sustained writes. Our (two) drives didn't show any issues in the last few weeks we've had them, and part of testing is copying two sets of 500GB to the SSD, which it handled perfectly, three runs in a row. Similarly, PC Mark 10 Consistency pushes close to 30TB through the drive, and it did all those runs perfectly as well. SSDs with poor base level (once pushed through dram/slc cache) performance always show issues there. Update 12/12: First off, sorry it took a while to update on this. We've been extremely busy the last few weeks for various reasons. Crucial has been pushing to discuss the firmware topic since day 1, it's not because of them this took a while. Anyway, we've spoken with them since and talked about what we're seeing and what other reviewers are reporting, and they've been very open in talking about why some of these things are happening. The short version of it is that Crucial decided to push for as much SLC caching and as much "real world" performance as possible, at the cost of worse sustained performance when you dorun out of SLC space. But this really only happens if you don't give the drive a chance to clean up (SLC -> TLC) at all, so you basically have to write 1/3rd of the capacity without any interruptions for you to see that drop. So even when copying two sets of 500GB, with a little break in between, we didn't see that in early testing, and neither did we see that with PC Mark 10 Consistency which does push ~27 TB through the drive (and runs various tests with the drive nearly full), since it has some interruptions which allowed the T500 to clean up. I'm happy we got this cleared up, and they did say they are looking into a possible firmware update in the future to improve post-SLC performance if possible, but if you ask me I really don't think the current situation changes anything for most of you, nor is it even a bad design choice for the majority of SSD buyers who end up with a larger SLC buffer with the T500 than with most other drives. If you really need an SSD just for constant file transfers of 100s of Gigabytes, maybe consider something else, but for everyone else, I stand by my opinion that the T500 is one of the top tier SSDs to consider, especially now that prices in most regions already seems very competitive. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'd love to see how the SN570 2TB model holds up. The 1TB has been falling far behind in the latest comparison charts. But the 2TB model now has the same controller as the SN770 1TB and the same NAND as the SN770 2TB model. I bought one today and triple checked before and after the purchase. Not installed yet. I believe it would still be very close to the SN580 and SN770 in your benchmarks.

For a laptop or PS5 the T500 make sense. But in the most laptops, the other components are slower. So you don't need the "fastest" SSD.

I wish I could take up this recommendation, but I've had 2 failures of crucial ssds and both within their warranty but they did not honour it here in Australia. The first drive died in 3 months, they didn't honour warranty saying that Australia doesn't have a warranty service, and ended up swapping it with an Intel one from the retailer. The second drive died on my birthday 5 months old. Again got the same no Australia warranty, this time opting for a Team group SSD as a replacement from retailer.

If possible it would be nice to see you include the SK Hynix P41 platinum in your gen4 lineup as well!

All of the comprehensive speed tests are sick, not much about computers is clear to me but I'm looking to save some money buying an enclosure for nvme and understand from experience and watching videos that performance varies depending on workload, or time under consistent use. I have many terabytes of photos to transfer so this is super-informative and great for a noob.

It seems that this is another good ssd from Crucial. I have mx500 (2tb) and p5 plus (2tb) both of them are up to my standard but p5 plus is on a hot side for me.

In case this matters, I'm going to indulge in semantics: when you speak of SSD speeds and say, "... performant, especially when gaming ...", I wonder if newbs out there took it to mean that, other than game load, map load, and cut scene load times, the actual game performance, frame to frame, etc., barely cares what storage device you are using.

Can your benchmark in the future include the Microsoft's official BulkLoadDemo for direct storage? since new generation of modern games most likely will make use of direct storage it seems to be a good idea to include that because gamers will be most interested in how the drive perform in that regards.
