> 3 dayAfter 3months, no issues at all. You only get 698MB, but that seems to be normal for all 750GB drives with Windows OS formatting (I am not exactly sure why). Been using as my primary drive and it still says 100% life left on it.

> 3 dayUsed it as a replacement for my 500GB Dell laptop OEM HD and have loved it since. Did have a little problem transferring cloning the original HD onto it but overcame that easily. Boot up time is fast and obviously file access is equally rapid. I dont have any benchmark studies but am completely satisfied with its performance. Virus scans provide the most extreme example of the speed gains with a SSD. The Quick Scan for Microsoft Defender virus check is so fast I was completely caught off guard when it flashed complete. The original OEM HD was no slouch but this is in a class by itself. Not quite instantaneous in loading files and programs but fast enough to satisfy me for a relatively modest investment.

> 3 dayI bought this on sale, and for the price it was a great purchase. I have been using Crucial SSD in my other computers in my house, and Im very happy with them. No failure so far after more than a year of use. Each drive comes with a copy of Acronis, which makes transferring from my own drive to the new one a breeze. I do recommend this drive.

> 3 dayI installed this in my HP laptop after getting a Windows message that my hard drive was failing. Using the recommended software for cloning I transferred the files and installed the new drive. Hurray! It booted up and worked normally with all my programs and files in place and operative.

> 3 dayHad great expectations. But after receiving it and then realizing I could not use it in my MacBook pro. Because it has flash storage . its now for resale. But I have used this product on other computers and they are great!!!!

> 3 dayI’ve got this hard drive back in 2016. I installed it myself in my 2010 MacBook Pro. Never have had an issue with it. My 9yr old Mac is still as fast as ever.

> 3 dayI bought this for only $99 around Thanksgiving weekend. I used it in a desktop system to replace a 240GB Intel 520-series that was about 80% full. I dont notice any difference in performance, but I know theres not much difference between SATA SSDs unless you buy a DRAM-less model, and those can be much slower. Ive had good experiences with the MX100, BX100, and MX200 SSDs from Crucial and I dont expect this will be any different.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayReplaced a 6y/o hdd with this. its better than new. i used Macrium Reflect instead of Acronis. Take the time to manage your partitions so you dont have unallocated space separated from the drive you want to expand. It took about three hours to clone the hdd to ssd via usb 2.0 cable. An excellent upgrade.

Greater than one weekDidnt work in my lenovo laptop as this product demands higher amp: 5v 2.1A - which was making windows 10 OS freeze. I finally installed an Intel drive, 5v 1A, which works fine. I do not recommend this product as this may damage the notebook hardware.
