I also removed an older M500 drive, just in case it was freaking out their app, but it didn't help. I thought maybe it was some bad mix of having 2 of the same drives installed, so I unplugged the one that "succeeded", but still no joy. Throughout all of this, both drives do in fact show up in Disk Management just fine - I can create volumes, format, do whatever, but Crucial's own app seems woefully broken. Interestingly, one of the drives seemed to update okay and on the rare occasion when the app shows them at all, it shows the new "045" is on there. And when it does it either says the firmware on one of them still needs updating, or "firmware failure". I ran into the same issues where sometimes their app would see the drives, sometimes it wouldn't. Lo and behold, the firmware updates did not go quite well. So I think, great, I haven't put anything on these yet, I may as well update the firmware right now before I initialize them or do anything else. I put them both in my system, ran their storage exec software to get a look at them, and the first thing it says is that both came with M3CR044 firmware, and by the way M3CR045 is available. But I think Windows 10 is more solid os in my own opinion does exactly what I need it to do including easily accessible where Windows 11 they are locking down a lot of the features for streamlined purpose certain things aren't customizable to the user.Here it is Jand I just got two new MX500 4TB drives delivered today. The task manager is horrible, the start menu is shocking, a lot or the setting menus is in combo menus with submenu took me awhile to find all the ones that I was looking for by going through the whole lot which is pretty annoying for me. As I do have a few complaints about windows 11 the interface is all over the place you have to go through a few menus to find the disk cleanup as right clicking it on the hard drive icon don't show the button. Everything started to work normally for awhile seems snappy enough for Xeon X5675. Strange issues started with Rufus interfering with latest original windows 11 22H2 while installing and during the usb boot it took over an hour before the loading circle even turned then refused to install to the hard drive complains about the controller not enabled in bios so decided to start again with an older Rufus build without windows 11 options interference menu also loaded the cmd before set up to clean the disk and convert to mbr. Been dabbing with the latest Tiny Windows 11 pro iso as testing purpose on another hard drive with tpm, cpu and secure boot removed and surprisely it worked not the first time but a couple of hours later. That nuts that it have 256,gb of ram nothing like a game can fill it LOL. Only drawback is that Crucial Storage Executive won't see these drives behind Marvell controller to check it health remaining so HDSentinel can see them no problem as it may report a different reading based on health remaining so take it with a pinch of salt Isn't too shabbyīut normal mode MX500 wins hands down on read performance and MX300 loses that by a good bit but if I have another MX500 1tb I would raid it without a doubt Now saying this it not too much of an issue considering it on the motherboard knowing it limited to x1 but still can work normal every day usage. It interesting to note that the read is similar in normal mode on MX500 where it just one ssd on it own. Superspeed combines both ssd together as Raid 0 according to the bios which added up to 1.37tb as storage avaiilable. But only forced someone to buy pcie controller to overcome the limitation of the Marvell controller only to add more cost and finding the correct drivers to make it all work in harmony with the operating system without a possible bsod or weird issues.Īs promised here the results with Intel and Marvell on ssd only (red line is write and grey line is read)Īll this in AHCI mode on both controllers Yeah would have been nice to have the newer marvell controller but it usually not cost effective by Asus to use controllers that is limited therefore only been affordable back then.
