Today’s article is groundbreaking as we guide you through transforming an SSD with QLC NANDs into an SLC SSD for improved durability and performance. We’ll use the Crucial BX500 SSD and caution that this process is safer than overclocking but requires attention. The SSD features a Silicon Motion controller SM2259XT2 with unique characteristics like a single-core design and low bus speeds. We’ll use the leaked mass production tool MPTools to make necessary firmware modifications. After conversion to pSLC mode, the SSD shows a drastic increase in endurance by over 3000%. Detailed benchmarks demonstrate significant performance improvements across different scenarios. Donate to support more articles on SSD comparisons and upgrades.
