There are some more shots and descriptions of the internals in the excellent review at http://techreport.com/review/24666/crucial-m500-ssd-reviewed

That also highlights the big problem with this drive that's kept me from buying one so far:

"Unlike rivals Intel and Samsung, Crucial doesn't provide utility software with a built-in health indicator. The M500's payload of SMART attributes doesn't contain any references to flash wear or bytes written, either. Several of the SMART attributes are labeled "Vendor-specific," but you'll need to guess what they track and read the associated values using third-party software."

That's a serious problem for most business use of this sort of drive.


Agreed - I was thinking the same thing!



Having said that, there does seem to be a wear leveling counter in its SMART attributes - but, yes - I'd like to see indicators more similar the level of detail that Intel provides.

Cheers

Mark
