Amazon is now offering the Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD at $153.99 shipped. Also matched at Best Buy. Regularly up to $230, today’s deal is as much as $76 or 33% off the going rate, a new Amazon all-time low, and the best we can find. Accelerated by micron 3D NAND technology, this model can reach speeds of up to 560MB/s while integrated power loss immunity “preserves all your saved work if the power unexpectedly gets cut.” The usual 5-year Crucial warranty is in place here as well as AES 256 bit hardware based encryption. There are much faster options out there, but they also cost drastically more than today’s lead deal. Rated 4+ stars from nearly 57,000 Amazon customers. More details below.
