The M3CR046 firmware update for the MX500 SSD is optional and aims to fix an issue that can cause the SSD to hang in certain situations. Most desktop and laptop users are not affected by this issue. If you have not experienced any problems with your MX500 SSD, it is recommended that you do not install this update. --https://sasatimes.com/crucial-mx500-ssd-firmware-update-to-fix-a-rare-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a Crucial MX500 as my system drive for the last five years. It's stayed on M3CR023 the entire time. Never a problem, great drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
