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

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.

Excellent solid state disk for the money. Highly recommended. If you need to resurrect an older machine, two things you can do is max out the memory (RAM) and upgrade the disk to a solid state disk. The difference in read/write speeds with a solid state disk is like night and day. Booting your computer is much faster as well. Before thinking about recycling your older computer try memory and SSD upgrade. It may be cheaper than buying a new one.

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

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.

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.

I bought two of these drives on Black Friday and Ive noticed the same new issue in both of my computers that I put these in. Occasionally (it seems to be random), the computer will just completely lock up for 10-15 seconds. It doesnt happen very often, but it happens enough to be noticeable. Probably three times a day at most. It seems that theres some sort of issue with the interface on these drives between the computer and the addressable space. I didnt think it was possible for drive IO interrupts to cause this sort of complete hanging of the operating system, so I switched this drive out with my old one for a week to see if the problem persisted. It didnt, so its definitely caused by this drive. Im guessing its a bug in the firmware that comes on the drive, but Im not sure it can be fixed with an update. Hopefully so. Ill update this if anything changes. Other than that, it works fine, its definitely an upgrade over a disk drive.

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....)

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.

I got one for me and one for my wife. It took less than 2 hours to clone my wifes 750 GB regular spinning drive to this SSD using CloneZilla. Mine is running Slackware-current and is lightning fast

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!!!!
