Recently we also showed an interesting video in our OCinside YouTube Channel where we filmed a Crucial MX300 M.2 SSD on an ASRock Z270 Taichi motherboard with the thermal imaging camera while the AS SSD benchmark is passed. For the thermal images we use an infrared thermal imaging camera, which supports image overlay and thus results in an interesting mixture of the infrared image and the real image. performance.īefore we continue with the benchmark results, we would like to show something special on and that is the temperature with heat distribution of the SSD.

In addition, Crucial Storage Executive software allows you to set the Over Provisioning range to adjust SSD durability vs. It allows the activation of the Momentum Cache function, which uses the memory as a buffer and can safely erase the SSD with Secure Erase. The Crucial Storage Executive Tool shows clearly which SSDs and hard disks are installed, what the SMART values look like and updates the firmware directly if desired. The Crucial Storage Executive Tool can be downloaded from the Crucial website and is quickly installed.

Usually you can also use the classic method: Download Crucial firmware, unzip the contained ISO file, transfer the ISO file with unetbootin to a USB stick (alternatively burn it to a CD or CDRW), boot with the USB stick and the firmware update starts. With the new Crucial Storage Executive Tool you can update the firmware of the SSD relatively easily, but as always you should back up important data before the firmware update. Crucial provides this firmware version M3CR020 for the MX500 as the latest SSD firmware. The MX500 SSD was delivered with the M3CR020 firmware. After we have shown the design of the Crucial MX500 1TB M.2 SSD, we now come to the firmware update.
