Question about Crucial Mx500
What exactly is behind the label "NEW + TESTED"? Are there defined cut-off values (e.g. by SMART)? If so, what are they? If not: How is "as good as new" defined?
Hello, so far I have not seen a definition for "New + Tested". No cut-off values either.
Based on my experience, I would define it as follows:
(1) for "As Good As New + Tested" I see opened original goods which have been returned but are externally and theoretically internally new but used. The product is complete and works. There is full warranty / guarantee from the seller. The manufacturer's warranty is also still available. Crucial support is very helpful.
(2) Smart values: You have to assume that the SSD is used for performance tests or does not actually fit the intended use. I would classify "not suitable for the intended use" as rare. Performance or power tests in the majority. I can see this in the data already written, which is actually always between 1.5TB and rarely 7TB. I don't have the total TBW of the SSD in my head, but for my applications it's irrelevant. So far, all 14 or so SSDs have shown no problems. If TBW is important, it's better to use an enterprise SSD anyway.
