I wasn’t aware you could get a 2TB MX500, and even at the 1TB mark, you wold be hard pressed to create your own external SSD at this price. I do understand your thoughts on QLC in comparison to TLC however.

I have no problem whatsoever with you expressing your opinion but do not make it derogatory towards the site or myself. The is the easiest way to get banned and unable to send future comments. The test results are as they are. This is a SATA SSD which means that, regardless if it is USB 3.2 or not, it is still only capable of speeds as advertised. In todays world that is slow and I stated that. Considering the tests performed, we are confident that any abnormalities such as speeds of 35MB/s would be identified. Having said that, we made not that this SSD is NOT for the transfer of OS files or small files…because the low 4K randoms are horrid. Most important thing…. Know what you need this for. If you buy this in hopes of putting all of your media on it in just a few minutes…look in the mirror for the problem.
