This SSD made my wife's laptop faster than day out of box in 2009. She wears a helmet and goggles for safety, cause it is scary fast now....anyone can install it, really easy and fun to see it work so well.

Greatly Increased Speed; Very East To Install

None

When you think 256GB may not be quite enough, this is a good option. It's fast too! Installed a fresh copy of Windows10 of my wife's laptop, which had 256GB used of her 500GB HDD (but that did include the extra partitions the OEM always installs) After moving her data files over, she ended up with...

A little extra capacity; which was needed

Canada Post was slower than normal; They had it one day more than normal, which made it show up after the weekend I needed it; Had to buy another SSD at a local store

Installed this drive in an OWC external array (using a newertech AdaptaDrive) and connected to my MacPro via Thunderbolt 2. Mechanical installation was simple. My MacPro immediately recognized it and initialization via the Mac OS disk utility was simple.

I have postponed writing this review for long enough. I bought these drives because Crucial has, in my opinion, dominated the memory market for an age. I figured they knew what they were doing. Boy was I wrong. These drives are totally useless. They cannot and will not hold any data beyond 30 days.

None I can think of

Totally unreliable for use as PC storage

SATA Drive 525 GB. I kept hearing my camera recorder's hard drive running. Eventually I knew it wouldn't last long so I ordered this unit and popped it in my GW NVR. No external formatting needed. Now I have peace and quiet. When the price drops on the 1Gb I'll definitely check with Crucial first.

Easy to install and comes with a software key to expedite migrating data.

Advertised as a 525 GB SSD; Only has 488.5 GB of usable space and 500 MB of that is reserved space.<br /> Acronis program is a little tricky to use if you aren't migrating your entire drive to the new one

Item as described. Good performance.

Any new drive entering the 3D NAND SSD fray is going to be compared to Samsung's 3D V-NAND equipped drives. After all the Korean giants have had a huge head start when it comes to bringing 3D NAND drives to market and are currently already producing denser 48-layer NAND to enable huge capacity SSD's...

3D NAND; Strong write performance

4K read performance; Having to wait for smaller capacities to come to market

If you don't own an SSD by now, you really should. Nothing is quite as satisfying as seeing Windows boot up in mere seconds, versus the half a minute or more it sometimes takes with traditional hard disk drives.

Great overall price; low cost per gig; solid performance

None

While Sata 6Gbps may have a 550MB/s bottleneck, such performance is more than adequate for a vast majority of users wanting a slice of the SSD cake. In recent times the cost per GB of Sata-based SSDs has plummeted meaning there has never been a better time to move away from aging mechanical storage.

+ Slightly faster than smaller capacity MX300; + Consistently good results; + Great value high capacity drive; + Features dynamic write acceleration; + Acronis True Image bundled with drive; + 3 years' warranty
