Crucial MX300 750GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT750MX300SSD1

This was BIG DEAL!! Just less than $100. (in 2016 Late) It is in my PS4 Original. Loading is short than HDD. And, it’s not have problem.

This is a very fast little SSD. I have an Asus ROG GL552VW laptop which already has a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB m.2 SSD for OS and a 1TB 2.5 HDD that came with the laptop. I removed the ODD of my laptop and used a HDD caddy to move the HDD to this position. Then I connected the MX300 in the place of the HDD. I have dedicated the MX300 for my Steam, Origin and Uplay collection. The difference is performance is obvious. Games load much faster and I feel there is less to no stuttering in games like Shadow of Mordor and No Mans sky where large draw distances are used. So it should work well with games with large open maps.

Would have been 5 stars if the instructions had mentioned to download the Storage Executive Client software to manage the drive. At first the drive would cause Windows 10 to lock-up randomly. Turns out that enabling the Momentum Cache in the Storage Executive client solved the problem for me. I stumbled across this purely by accident, while researching the problem on the internet. Otherwise, its been a great SSD, especially so, considering the price.

The price was a little high, but then it isnt a HHD. I love the light weight & size of these. I think I notice a speed change on boot up, but I dont know if that is the other new parts of my computer doing that. With the 750GB this SSD should outlast me. My old HHD was a 500GB & I didnt even use half of it. Anyway, I just use these as data storage. No OS on them.

Ive been using this for months and so far trouble free operation and it makes my older computer seem like new again. By far the most bang for the buck in terms of computer upgrades.

Excellent quality of hard drive. The included software did the job of migrating correctly and easily, but contained some annoying adware.

I have a Mac Mini that is a couple years old which has a 1tb 5400rpm hard drive. When I first got it, I cloned it to an external SSD (different brand than this one) but the SSD was only 256gb and since I use Parallels, I had another external SSD for the Virtual Machines. Eventually, something happened in which the SSD cratered and I had to revert back to the painstakingly slow hdd. I had been keeping an eye on a 1tb SSD, expecting it to fall below $200 at some point. One day, I was cursing through the 1tb SSDs and came across this one... a 750gb SSD which is actually more than adequate for my needs, plus it was well under $200. I feel that this is the right compromise where 500gb is nice, but when running VMs where one may need to make backups then it can get really tight whereas the 750gb drive is just perfect! First thing I did when I got the SSD in my hands were to move the large files from my mac mini to an external storage, copy my VMs from the external SSD to the internal hdd and then format the new SSD and clone the drive. For me, it took about six hours because of all the large files I had to move. I do a lot of video editing and have a lot of video files. When I rebooted, I immediately saw the speed difference, especially when I logged in and opened up a VM. Web browsing is a lot faster too, since every element on a web page is downloaded into the cache. This brand rocks... very fast and very solid. Now, I feel as though I am on a computer that is seamless with memory, processor speed, and now disk speed. What is really cool is that I can easily shut down the mac mini and take the external SSD and plug it into my MacBook pro and boot off of the external SSD so that I can have my personal desktop when I travel.

I work in I.T. and bought this for my laptop. Drive worked fine while it lasted but not very long and in todays world of technology i would expect it to last much longer. After my first true test with an SSD hard drive, i must say it is very disappointing. I hope this is not what i will see in the future. I just bought a Samsung EVO to replace it which i have used in customers computers without incident thus far. I will not be buying Crucial hard drives in the future.

Ahh...the perfect upgrade for my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 - El Capitan boots up super quickly and the overall experience is much snappier!! With this drive and 8-16 gb of RAM your MBP should be quickly zipping around like mine! I feel as if Ill get another 2-3 years out of my MBP 13 with this upgrade!

I really like this drive. I used the included Acronis software (seems this is a customized version for Crucial of the 2015 software; more than the free version but less than the full) to clone my hdd 1 TB drive and then installed the Crucial MX300 ssd drive in my Inspiron 15 7537 laptop. My boot time is the fastest Ive ever had. I will probably do a clean install of windows 10 at some point, just because I like to keep things in good shape and I dont fully trust cloning based on things Ive read. Definitely enable Momentum Cache in the Crucial Storage Executive Client. It pushed my read/write x4. Ive included my Crystal Disk Mark results after enabling the Momentum Cache. I used the StarTech hard drive enclosure S2510SM12U33 to use in cloning my drive after reading many reviews (and will use it after to house my hdd drive). Read lots of horror stories about non-bootable drives after cloning. Just happy this worked on the first try.
