Incredible performance. I plugged this into my Ultrabook which now just flies along on Windows 8. The transfer speeds are incredible and the laptop boots up in under 10 seconds.

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).

Recently purchased three BRIX and NUC systems requiring MSATA drives. Liked the first Crucial M500 as boot disk, so bought two more for the other systems. Great price/performance ratio.No issues.

Exceeds rated read and write speeds; 7mm low profile fits in many Ultrabooks and thinner laptops; Excellent compatibility; Decent 3 year warranty; Massive storage (for an SSD; Very affordable for a terabyte-class SSD

No desktop drive bracket included; No software bundle included in the box for migration

My HP Pavilion has had a new lease on life. Windows starts up in about 25 seconds! A massive improvement. All apps start more quickly in Windows 7. Quite simple to install too.

Bought this for my 2009 27" iMac, seemed a good replacement for the 1TB built in spinner. Had no trouble from it so far, speed improvement is fantastic. Tried putting an SSD into a MacBook previously and the MacBook wouldn't take it, so very happy that this worked first time.

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...
