Hello, I have a technical question about the Crucial BX500 2TB. I compared this SSD with a BX500 1TB in the same PC (same SATA cables, same SATA ports, SATA/600 mode). During prolonged writes (copying large files or installing Steam), the write speed starts at around 400-500 MB/s and then drops rapidly to around 20-40 MB/s for a long period before rising again. This behaviour does not occur on the BX500 1TB, which remains much more stable. So my question is: Is this normal behaviour for the BX500 2TB (SLC cache / NAND QLC), or does it indicate a hardware problem? Thank you in advance for your technical feedback

I have several Crucial SSDs of different models and interfaces in use. Basically you can say: You become what you pay! Crucial keeps many specifications under wraps and can sometimes make significant changes within the same model group, see this report (describes P2 NVMe, but is still very informative) -> https://www.computerbase.de/news... or also here -> https://www.computerbase.de/news... Also bear in mind that the BX500 is an inexpensive entry-level drive that has been on the market for some time. But I wouldn't necessarily suspect a defect because of this... Perhaps "Crucial Storage Executive" will provide more information -> https://www.crucial.de/support...

Good evening, Does anyone know if the cable to install the hard drive in the notebook is also included or do I have to buy this separately? Thank you in advance for a message.

Since the 90s, when there were still "retail" versions, data carriers have never come with any cables. If you _replace_ a 2.5" hard disk in the notebook, you don't need anything else ("clone" accessories aside). If the SSD is _additionally_ installed, the notebook must be equipped with a corresponding SATA connection in the 2nd bay - preferably/possibly also with a frame for the installation.
