Excellent value in a PC that only supports SATA. If you have a PC that supports NVME I'd go with that as the prices have really come down. Unfortunately, my Lenovo only supports the SATA interface so this is the route I went. Inside my Lenovo, it does reach max SATA3 speeds.

So, to answer some common asked questions, this drive is a B+M key layout M.2 SSD, the wonderful name means it is compatible with both B and M key layout slots. Check your spec sheet before buying, but this is a SATA-speed SSD, not NVMe nor PCIe (Don't really know the difference).

I've upgraded my Acer laptop from 128GB SSID to 500GB SSID using this Crucial SSID. Acer would not commit to saying it would work and din't recommend it, but mine works perfectly from the moment I switched on.

This was my first m.2 SSD and I've enjoyed it greatly. I've installed my OS to it and it boots up noticeably faster than my standard SSD. Barely any wait time.

Very fast; much faster than any standard mechanical drive. Your operating system will boot far faster, and programs will load faster if mechanical is what you're used to. Installation, in particular on motherboards with an M.2 slot, couldn't get much easier. Excellent drive for the price.

Not the fastest on the market but good value for its price.

Small and plugs right into motherboard; Price matched good price for this size of drive

Crucial has some solid SSDs to its name, with the MX family in particular often winning favour with enthusiasts for its decent balance of price and performance. Today, we're looking at the latest model in this family, the MX300, in three different varieties: a standard 2.5in model (525GB) and two...

After adding more DRAM to my 2012 desktop tower, I replaced the old 7200 rpm 1TB HDD drive with the Crucial 1TB SSD. The Acronis cloning software made it very easy. This SSD is incredibly fast upon start up, installing software, opening apps, scanning files, etc.

Affordable; Blazing Fast; Dependable; Quiet

We already had a chance to review Crucial MX300 SSD but not in M.2 version and not so high capacity. It's time to present you Crucial MX300 M.2 1050GB SSD which is designed for new
