Crucial is a budget brand. Samsung is the complete opposite (in regards to SSDs).
Where did you hear this?
The MX500 is pretty much the market leader as far as older SATA SSDs are concerned, with PLP capacitors, very generous NAND overprovisioning, and an onboard DRAM cache if I'm not mistaken.
The BX series is pretty budget oriented though, those are just standard 3D nand SSDs with no PLP, no DRAM.
If storage TBs are the concern, Samsung absolutely offers higher capacities than the MX series last time I checked
Edit: forgot the most important piece of info... Crucial is essentially Micron, the RAM and SSD manufacturer. They only sell things that Micron manufactures, so they don't sell SD cards, blank CDs and other generic storage stuff
Micron is also an OG memory inventor and still makes some crazy innovations in storage space. Crucial is their performance brand and it's leagues better than recent Samsung.
Let's hope Samsung's general quality issues won't reach their SSD market.
Huh, my crucial SATA SSD was more expensive than the Samsung equivalent when I bought it a few years ago.
