  • Best SATA III SSD. Hands down.
Capacity: 1TB
I run an IT company in Brooklyn, NY. I've seen hundreds of SSDs go out to clients and tens come back dead after a while. In the past, I've worked with Samsung, SanDisk, Intel and others. I've found that Crucial MX500 is both one of the fastest and one of the most durable. I have seen much fewer SSDs dying once I started using Crucial MX500 (in any capacity size) Note: do not confuse MX500 with BX500. Those two could not be more different. MX500 is a high performance, high endurance SSD. BX500 is a cheap budget SSD. Crucial MX500 is now my go-to SSD for any built and upgrade. ... show more

  • Died 3 months and 2 days after purchase
Capacity: 500GB
When it was working the drive was great but it died, unexpectedly ;), 3 months and 2 days after purchase. Considering it probably wasn't installed for a few weeks from purchase date this is a pretty crappy lifetime especially and suspicious given the product support windows ended 3 days before it died. NOTE: Keep the original packaging! I went to return this under warranty only to learn that you need the "...original packaging that shipped with the product must be returned. If any accessories or packaging are missing, we are unable to issue a credit or send a replacement and the product(s) will be returned to the customer at his/her expense". WTF Crucial, who's keeping the original packaging for a year in case the drive fails. ... show more

  • Review for the Tech Challenged
Capacity: 250GB
I have an old HP DV6 laptop that was a dog from the day it arrived a number of years ago. I spent hours going over all the settings trying to speed it up, even overclocking the CPU, all to no avail. I put the computer away and tried to forget the gross error of my purchase. But from time to time I would think of the laptop in the closet and imagining I might be able to have a go at fixing it with a brand new solid state drive. By this time the sting of my waste of $600 on this blasted thing had faded. I felt I no longer had anything to lose if I screwed things up. If I failed I'd just donate the mess to the local electronics recycle store and forget everything. The original mechanical drive in the laptop was 500GB but in pricing SSD replacements I thought putting in a 250GB drive would be more economical. After all, I would use it only for Web browsing and E mail. So I ordered the Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA SSD. After reading some reviews I learned I also needed the Sabrent SSD to USB adapter to clone the old hard drive and downloaded the Acronis cloning software as Crucial recommended. Cloning the old drive to the new SSD is where things got frustrating for me. I got everything connected, fired up the Acronis cloning software that I had downloaded onto the laptop, choose all the defaults because I had no idea what all the stuff was under the manual settings, and waited while the progress bar slowly progressed. After about an hour and a half I saw Acronis just fold up and disappear leaving nothing on the screen other than an error had occurred and that I should check some log. I couldn't find a log even after a long search on my laggy laptop. After considering what might be the problem I finally figured out that trying to clone a 500GB drive onto a 250GB target drive might be a problem. Duh. Now I'm starting to think I'm in over my head. I couldn't find anywhere on the Acronis web site how to clone a larger drive to smaller one, so I started searching the web for a solution and found a free cloning utility called EaseUS Todo that can dynamically change partition sizes during cloning. I started the process using the new software, watched the computer exit Windows and begin the cloning process. After a few hours Windows came back. I connected the SSD to another computer in order to view what was now on the new drive. It appeared to be a clone of the old drive but with different volume numbers. That worried me. What would happen when I put the new drive back in the laptop? Would it be able to read a boot drive F: ? No way to tell except to put it in there and see. Swapping the drives was the easiest part of the process. I just removed the screws holding the bracket onto the back of the laptop and then the screws holding the drive in the bracket. Lastly, pulled out the data and power connector and the drive is loose. Reverse to install the new drive. To my great relieve, when I turned the computer back on I saw that a program had automatically run to name the drive partitions back to their original letters! Windows started surprisingly fast. My old dog of a laptop had a new lease on life! So that's my story with the Crucial MX500 SSD. The drive itself is great. I'm loving it. The process of cloning the old to new seems to be more difficult than it needs to be for rank amateurs such as myself. Why couldn't have the Acronis software told me at the start my new drive was too small to clone to and then offer to make adjustments? Why did I have to search the Net to find answers? My advice for those new to things like this is clean up your old drive before you clone and get rid of the GBs of trash that are probably there. That will save you hours of time. I found some old system files from a Windows 10 upgrade that were taking up 25GBs of space. Use the Disk Cleanup app in Windows to get rid of all that before you clone. Good luck! ... show more

  • Cloning software is horrid and a piece of garbage.
Capacity: 500GB
Received new SSD today to upgrade my wife's laptop. Followed instructions from Crucial website on how to clone. The software that they use is astrious. Not a friendly user interface at all and it does not work porperly. I attempted to clone her existing drive 3 times and each time it would fail out after 2 hours of cloning. Finally gave and formatted SSD and currently installing a fresh version on Windows 10. I highly suggest spending to couple of extra dollars to get the Samsung SSD. They have their own cloning software that works flawlessly. ... show more

  • Easy to Install and made a Big Difference in Performance!!
Capacity: 500GB
This SSD was really easy to install! I'm 56yo and have never done anything like this before. I think it is really important to get all your ducks in a row before starting this process if you have never done this before. It's creating a bootable USB Drive of your OS, Formatting the SSD and Enabling the TRIM that can seem overwhelming. All of my docs and photos are in the cloud, so that was easy. I did a clean install so that made everything easy and fresh. Watch some youtube videos so you can prepare yourself. I installed this SSD and RAM at the same time. One other thing, Crucial is a US company in Idaho and if you have any questions call them. They are really helpful and you get to talk to a friendly human being!! This is really Rare these days!! ... show more

  • Amazing Upgrade From Stock PS4 Harddisk!!!
Capacity: 1TB
I have had the original 500GB PS4 from launch day and wanted to upgrade it so I could not only double my storage (Got tired of deleting games to install new ones) but also get faster boot up and load times. Man, this 1TB SSD freaking delivers!!! For example, from the time I turn on my PS4 I can be in a COD lobby in about 45 seconds. This used to take 3 minutes with the stock drive... I didn't want to spend more money by buying an upgraded PS4, like the pro, especially with the PS5 coming out soon, this was the best upgrade that took only minutes to do. A piece of advice, backing up your PS4 settings before swapping the drive will take hours if you are have games. My best advice would be to delete the games on your PS4 first, then do your back up, and then download the games once everything is installed as it will be much faster then transferring it from the drive. ... show more
