    I am PhD students who deals with a bunch of data for research. Without this device, I may not work with the high efficiency.... Thanks SSD !!!! ( I actually bought another one since actually 750 Gb may not be enough....)

    When it comes to SSDs, unless your putting them into a server the sued differences between them will almost certainly be negligible. For home users what should be important is if it works out of the box and how long it lasts... I have purchased 9 different crucial drives in the last 2 years and have not had a single problem yet. For the price and performance gains its almost a no brainer to add an SSD to your laptop or desktop computer.

    Good price, and it was easy to clone over to from my old Mac Book Pro drive -- and so far its functioned perfectly (and no real concerns about that; Crucial Technology is known for the excellent, long-lasting quality of its products).

    Put this in my PS4 and couldnt be happier. The drive is fast and I havent had any problems with it so far. Games load much much much faster and there is a huge difference in system performance verses the drive the PS4 came with. Why doesnt PlayStation just ship their consoles with drives like this already in place? Very happy with the performance, and wouldnt hesitate at purchasing the drive again. Glad I did.

    Very simple to install, but you have to install windows 10 on, because the clone tool was not able to transfer the primary boot on the new disk.

    I bought it when it went on sale. Hainving used Crucial products since many years ago this is a brand I trust. I use it as a game installation disk and does what it should.

    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.

    I 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.

    Full disclosure: I am a sysadmin. More than capable of upgrading a drive, Ive done it hundreds if not thousands of times. I purchased this, my first SSD, with some trepidation about the lifespan of the number of potential write-cycles that I would be able to get from the drive before it wore itself out. Not something I have ever worried about with spinning platter drives. After installing and cloning my Macbooks main drive (I have two drives internal, and moved all the media / heavy data files to the other disk) yes, the computer booted up very fast. Id say the total boot time went from about a minute (I load a lot of programs) to about 20 seconds. Loading programs also was much snappier, they launched into memory (16gb) much quicker than before. So Im going about my day, using this like any other disk... Until I get a funny error message from Thunderbird (my email client) that it was unable to write to the cache when downloading mail. Odd... Close the program, try to relaunch - error that it is already running. Check Activity Monitor... Nope, nothing there. Launch Finder to go look if the lock file is stuck... Finder skyrockets to 180% processor use, and the system grinds to a crawl. Icons stop properly rendering (because they are also cached to disk), and eventually I have to hard-boot the system to get back to using it. Everything comes back up as it was several hours before, and works great again for several hours until... Lather, rinse, repeat. Crucial Tech Support suggested that the power management needed to be completely off for the drives, that the operating system cannot try to put the drive to sleep as that would cause problems. NOWHERE IN ANY DOCUMENTATION had I seen this, and still have not. So I disabled that, and all was well yesterday for about 5-6 hours of usage. Im somewhat dubious that a computer will just magically cut power to a drive without receiving any kind of acknowledgement from the drive that it is ready to power off - that isnt how power works, the computer can send a please power down command to the drive, but it is usually up to the drive itself to accept or reject this command. But this is what the tech at Crucial says happens: That the computer just cuts the power off when it wants to send a drive to sleep and this screws with the SSD since they have to always have full power. OK, so Ill try that for a while... It worked last night anyway and nothing interesting popped up in the system logs. Wake the computer this morning, and within 20 minutes of starting up, I find Disk I/O Error comments in the system log! Funny thing is, it took another 2 hours after those errors before the drive errors locked the system again. Again started with the error from Thunderbird (like a canary in the coal mine) and just so you dont think it was somehow Thunderbird - I have this program open all the time, and it checks for email about every 10 minutes, and I get about 150 emails a day. So if there will be a drive issue, this is the most active program to trap it. So this drive is now pulled, and being sent back - Thank you Amazon and your great return process. I havent decided yet whether I will try another SSD... But certainly not THIS brand, with no Mac-based tools OR support staff with any kind of clue of what is actually happening. I have NEVER had problems like this with my spinning drives, and the only thing on the computer that was different was the installation of this SSD... So the problem is definitely within this product. The speed is NOT worth the tradeoff of possibly losing your data.
