Crucial T500 2TB
The sensible alternative to the 990 PRO for enclosure use. Both are PCIe Gen4 TLC drives quoting around 7,400 MB/s internally, and behind a USB4 bridge that difference disappears entirely. The gap that survives is warranty and endurance, so compare those rather than the headline speed. Not tested here yet.
Quick decision
- Best for
- A fast PCIe 4.0 upgrade or USB4 enclosure where value matters more than winning a benchmark by a small margin.
- Avoid if
- Your machine only supports PCIe 3.0, or the cheapest adequate drive is the more sensible purchase.
