I see it. Might need to be signed in to see Prime pricing.I'm not seeing that..
Crucial MX500 1tb 2.5'' is $51.99 via prime too.
Make sure you update that FW to the latest version before using it.
This is where I first learned of the issues. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...ware-certain-batches-prone-to-failure.291504/Are the 2.5" drives having issues too? The 870 Evo has been out forever.
It seems like not long ago that was the sale price for the 512GB version of that drive. Really good deal and one I heartily recommend.Crucial MX500 1tb 2.5'' is $51.99 via prime too.
Back in the day, Crucial was my go to SSD. Never had an issue with them.It seems like not long ago that was the sale price for the 512GB version of that drive. Really good deal and one I heartily recommend.

My question is - do SSD's come with mounting screws?
I don't think my previous 870 EVO's came with screws...
I added 2 x 6TB WD BLACK spinners (retail boxed) & they came with screws.
I'm planning to dual boot - gamer HD / OS vs work HD / OS
My case has a mounting bracket for 2 SSD's but I have no extra screws.
*All my old PC parts are in storage in another state.
Are mounting screws the same for 2.5 SSD & 3.5 spinners?
If so - what size screws? I don't want to buy a $10 PC screw box.
EDIT: I found my answer - they don't come w/ screws... I'm ordering the PNY!
