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

Item as described. Good performance.

Crucial down loadable software for installation also works well. I cloned my original hard drive to the new SSD then fitted the new drive into my Dell. All worked well first time.The ability to check compatibility on your web site is reassuring when choosing products. Thanks.

It's an SSD and it works. Thats all I wanted, so I'm happy.

The hard drives in my Samsung laptop crash on me(once from a drop and the other randomly happened) within a year. I made the change to this SSD and once I got Windows 10 loaded I immediately noticed how much quieter and cooler my laptop became and how quickly Windows loaded.

While the MX300 series cannot be located in an enthusiast class SSD series based solely on write performance, we also have to acknowledge that its lower write performance is incredibly relative. Would you really notice the difference in-between 400 and 500 MB/sec writes?

Final Thoughts So the MX300 is the first consumer product to make use of Micron's 3D TLC NAND. Crucial took a different approach than Samsung with their first 3D NAND product. The MX300 is not designed to be the fastest consumer SATA SSD out there like Samsung's 850 Pro.
