In the Solid State Drives portfolio
The MX500 has anchored the value SATA segment for years: Micron TLC NAND, a DRAM-equipped controller, 560 MB/s reads, and AES-256 hardware encryption with TCG Opal support — a feature set that still distinguishes it among budget SATA drives.
Integrated power-loss immunity protects data at rest during unexpected shutdowns, and the drive's long track record makes it a staple for system integrators refreshing office fleets. Capacities span 250 GB to 4 TB with a five-year warranty.
