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

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.

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.

Had 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!!!!

Its been two days and its been working fine so far in my old HP DV7 laptop running Windows 7. Booting is perceivably faster and programs load much faster, plus I get a bit more space as opposed to my 500GB mechanical disk that had served me well for a few years. Lets hope it gives my laptop at least another 3 years of life.

Easy to install and used the license for the included software to clone the drive to the new SSD. I was going from a 250GB SSD to this drive and although the clone worked, the partition order was out of whack, so the Windows partition didnt use all of the free space, and because of the partition order, I wasnt able to expand it in Windows 10. I actually had to delete my recovery partition and then was able to expand the Windows partition to the full size available.

I downsized my HDD, copying things to a large USB drive and then cloned it to this one with no problem, with Windows 10. It came with a software key for something, but I cloned it with another free product. I dont remember making a boot order change in BIOS, since it was all so trivial. I feel spoiled now.

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.

It is a good item

Im not certain what the issue is with the drive. HDDSMART shows it as working perfectly and having good speeds. But about twice a month I get a freeze on my work laptop, which I feel like is coming from the hdd. Im not certain that the drive is at fault, but i believe it is. The issues mainly seem to arise from waking the computer from sleep.

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)
