Crucial M500 960GB
We've said for quite some time that the biggest performance increase you'll see in a system upgrade these days it moving to a Solid State Drive. The improvements of an SSD, in our opinion, are nothing short of astounding.
Pros:
- Sleek design
- Excellent incompressible data results
- Great value
- Massive storage capacity
Cons:
- Not the fastest on the market

1st SSD - happy!
Upgrade for my 2008 MacBook Pro which had mechanical hdd. Very happy with the performance gain. I've read quite a bit about these drives and the 120GB and 240GB are said to have poor write speeds compared to peers. I don't need great writes for my Mac so price was my driver.

When asked at CES about the M500 price points, we were told the 960GB model would hit the $600 price point and the other capacity would scale from there. Although not specifically stated, I took that to mean $300 for the 480GB, $150 for the 240GB and around $75 for the 120GB.

SSD
Great drive with lots of speed. Hope it lasts and doesnt crap out after a year or so. Downgraded it because it didnt include an adapter for a 3.5 slot.
Pros:
- Great drive
- Gave me the extra speed I needed for the computer I use as a small business server
Cons:
- said comes with a adapter but I had to order one that would work in a 3.5 slot

I went through a few iterations to install the drive. It was not possible to create a mirror image of the original using a USB external drive box because of format restrictions. I installed the SSD drive in the computer, and with a free program called "Macrium Reflect" the cloning worked like a...

Lightning fast and dependable
Fast, lightweight, the 480gb version seems to hit the sweet spot between price and capacity. I use mine as a portable drive (without a case) which I plug into a SIIG mini-doc. (I do had a case for transport to protect the drive in my briefcase).
Pros:
- Fast
- Highly Compatible
- Quiet
Cons:
- Expensive

One of the best things I have bought for a PC ever.
I've been using this for a while now and can safely say I would not go back to a normal HDD as a boot disc. Booting up my machine is now fast enough I no longer put off reboots. I use this as my main drive and keep media files on a secondary drive where speed is less important and it has made more...
