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

For my main desktop been waiting for a drive that made sense with a ~300GB Boot drive...This is the best deal from a reliable company for anything much bigger than 500GB...Mushkin 1TB is the only other option but that is kinda slow...MX300 is a winner. Hint make regular backups, (Paragon have a free version backup app available that will even move an OS drive to different hardware). Super drive got multiple sizes (275GB for the laptop)

Drive works great on my MBP.. The migration software is for a PC. Acorns image 15. Tried to install on my PC and it kept saying installer error. So if you are going to use in a Mac plan on using another program to clone with.

Worked right out of the box! Came with Acronis cloning software license key but not needed. Everything worked as expected, no drama. Crucials Storage Executive and Momentum Cache were running great! Lot of interesting information, e.g. S.M.A.R.T. about the legacy HD and etc. even help updated drive firmware. Package only has a spacer but no 3.5 inch tray or cable. Comes with 3 years warranty. We shall see. Am a little skeptical but check out the performance gains after enabling Momentum Cache and Crystal Disk Mark. (see uploaded images)

I bought one of these to upgrade my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I had previously replace the original hard drive with a 750GB drive, but the system was getting slower with each successive release of the Mac OS. I was concerned when I first got this drive because there were no instructions except for a web link to a utility that runs on windows. So I clicked on the chat button of the Crucial web site and was promptly greeted by an agent who gave me the link for instructions on a Mac. I had already upgraded to El Capitan and the instructions for installation did not require any third party software, only the Mac disk utility. I used an external drive case to connect the new drive to my Mac (the one I got for my earlier disk upgrade) and cloned my hard drive to the Crucial SSD. This took quite something like 8 hours due to the disk size and the relatively slow USB connection, so I was a bit worried about how the SSD would perform once I installed in my MacBook. My worries were unfounded; my system works really well and boots up in a fraction of the time it used to. Almost everything runs much faster and the computer feels like new once again. The only glitch Ive had so far is that my Microsoft Office 11 software decided it was on a new machine and demanded that I enter the license number before I could use it. Fortunately, I save the original disks and packaging, so it all worked well (and quickly) after I entered the license number. I like this upgrade so much I will get another for my wifes Macbook Pro and also for my Mac mini.

Wonderful drive. Installation and loading windows took me only 1 hour total. For $180, my laptop has a SSD and is like new again. This is not 750GB. This is 749,629,075,454 bytes or 698GB. Reduced 1 star because of the 698 GB vs promised 750GB

Excellent drive. Got it for an extreme deal on Black Friday for $99. Couldnt be happier. I use it for games as a secondary drive in my PC. Speeds are to be expected from a tier 2 brand of SSDs but its still light years above HDD.

The ssd drives meets my expectation. It is just some hiccups during the delivery which results in delay. But the final shipment plan went quick and I received it about a week after the final shipment plan.

I bought this drive to upgrade from a smaller Crucial SSD in a desktop. I ran the Crucial software available on their site and it indicated this would work in my computer before I placed the order.. The computer is home built and the MB and CPU are now 8 years old - but its quad core and still quite fast. I tried twice to use the cloning software, and tried twice to do a fresh install. I probably called Crucial 10 times over a two day period, and they were very helpful. The last individual I spoke to indicated some changes that could possibly make this work, but they would affect how I use the computer, so I elected to return the drive (at his suggestion). Doesnt mean its not a great drive - its just that it may not work in an older system unless you are tech savvy and can determine the work around.. I have easily installed four other Crucial SSDs in my laptop and this same desktop, and they work flawlessly, as does the memory I purchased from Crucial to upgrade that part of the computer.

I used this SSD to replace my hardrive on my MacBook Pro. I had read the reviews for months and saw all the great feedback on how easy the drive is to install and how fast it was. My only complaint is that I didnt buy this sooner. It was super easy to transfer the data and install. It boots up so much faster and application open up in a snap. I LOVE my new SSD!

5/5 for the product, 0/5 for the data migration software, 2/5 for crutial software, so overall 3/5. The product itself is great, decent quality at reasonable price. But the data migration software comes with it is a piece of sh*t. So I had an old 240GB SSD with only ~20GB space available. So I bought this new SSD and wanted to migrate data from my old drive into this new one. I used the migration software (Acronis) to migrated my data and use all default settings. The migration was smooth however after rebooting I only found theres a 240GB partition in my new 750GB drive, the rest 500GB was not allocated! The only reason I buy a larger drive is to have more space, and the migration software failed to allocate more space to the main partition! I tried again to see if I was able to adjust the partition size during the migration, nope. I either had to create another ~500GB partition with the 240GB partition almost full or figure out a way to merge those 2 partitions. (Trust me its not easy cuz they are not adjacent partitions) Finally I found some workaround to merge the unused 500GB to main partition and get a ~690GB partition. Took me half a day to do so and Im pretty frustrated. If only the migration software could do its job it would be so much easier. It looks like clonezilla is able to clone a smaller drive to a larger drive without such problem, but use with caution, I did not verify this. Also the Crucial Storage Executive said I had 0MB of DRAM so I cannot turn on Momentum Cache, which is the most important feature imo... its another WTF moment Im just done for the day.
