For a long time, PC gamers fitting an SSD to their rig would have used a 2.5-inch drive with a SATA interface. The best one to get was a Crucial MX500 and it was so good that it topped the charts for almost seven years. However, all good things must eventually end, and parent company Micron has begun calling time on the evergreen SSD.
News of the MX500 being discontinued was confirmed by ComputerBase (which caught wind of the decision via a Reddit user) and while it shouldn't come as a surprise, given the sheer popularity of NVMe M.2 SSDs, I'm a little sad to see it go.
