Thanks, Alexander.

Crucial MX500 is based on SM2258 controller IC from Silicon Motion.
In general, I usually select SSDs based on controller ICs from Phison.
They are in my experience have better backward-compatibility with older
hardware.
The make\brand of the SSD itself doesn't really matter, if you choose
appropriately the rest of SSD parts (i.e. NAND type, bits per cell, etc)
There is an one workaround you should try:
Inside BIOS of the laptop, check if there is an option to switch between
protocols in HDD or Chipset sections. They could be called "Legacy",
"Native" and "AHCI".
Make sure to set it to "AHCI", which should be default for any SSDs.
Some SSDs will still work in "Legacy" mode, but it could cause a
compatibility issues.
