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

This was easy to install on a MacBook Pro Late 2011 laptop. Apples new OS had slowed my computer load and login times to a crawl. Applications took forever to load. This drive has brought my computer back to life. Now boot time is at least 10x faster and login is seconds. Apps like Outlook, Word, and Excel load quickly and disk access is instantaneous. I was hesitant to dump the money into an old computer but I would highly recommend it. This was the best upgrade decision, installation experience, and results I have ever had for the money.

everything good!

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....)

I just finished using this Crucial MX300 750GB SSD on a fresh WIndows 7 install - the specs for the box are an ASUS PM8Z77-V LE motherboard, and i5-3570K Processor, 16GB of Corsair DDR3 and and MSI Twin Frozr Video Card. The build went smoothly, no hitches related to the new drive. The computer formerly had a 1TB 7200rpm WD mechanical drive. The Windows Experience for the Hard Drive was 5.9 before the build, and maxxed out at 7.9 after the build. The box is now blazingly fast on boot up, and the system is no longer bottlenecked by the hard drive. I have installed a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB on an identically built machine a few months back (I have twin boys with the exact same build gaming system), and the performance of this Crucial drive is just as good. I did not do any detailed benchmarking, all assessments are based purely on boot times, and basic access times. I have had absolutely no issues with this SSD to date - I actually bought a 500GB Crucial yesterday for an old Vaio laptop. I liked the performance so much that I stuck with it for my next build. My wife has a 1TB Sandisk Ultra II in her Dell All-in-One desktop, and I like both the Crucial and Samsung better than the SanDisk after working with all three. Recommended - so far so good - if anything changes, I will update the review. Note this only comes with the plastic cheap mounting base, and no software, but I am told you can download the software for a transfer of data from your old drive - read other reviews for that information. I did a fresh build, so transfer software was not needed. UPDATE: I enabled Momentum Cache, and was having issues with simple things like Microsoft Security Essentials scans completing (they would freeze), and updating Windows Experience (it would error out on disk check) and other strange disk issues. Long story short, I disabled Momentum Cache, and the problems went away. The same thing was happening on my laptop where I installed a 500GB Crucial MX300... this issue cost me a lot of time and head scratching, and as soon as I disabled Momentum Cache everything was fixed. I am having doubts that Momentum Cache has some side affects, but could be wrong. It appeared to be isolated to it on my computer.

Used to upgrade the harddrive of a 2010 MacBook Pro. This computer runs better now than it probably ever has in the 8 years we have had it. Super fast access time for opening programs and lightning fast bootup. From the time I push the power button until I can open a program is now about 25 seconds. Cant recommend this enough. Do yourself a favor and switch to a solid state drive to renew the performance of your computer.

Blazing fast and large disk space (750gb). I have been using SSDs for the last 10 years (mostly intels for reliability) in my rigs and I found this to be a very good consumer grade level product. Only time will tell how long this will last, but from other reviews, this line has not failed to satisfy most peoples need.

I put this in my mid-2012 MacBook at the same time I upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB RAM. I copied the old hard drive over in its entirety. Worked great. Takes about 15 seconds for startup vs 28 seconds previously. Converted a large video file in 18 minutes that took over an hour previously. Not sure how much is due to the SSD drive vs the RAM, but I am very happy with the new performance.

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.

Bought it for my Asus G752VS laptop. Has usable capacity of 698.64 GB. Been using it for a month or two as my main drive for games (System drive is an M.2 SSD). Extremely fast. Dont have any complaints yet.

Arrived on time and perfect condition! I had to put into an external docking case before instilling it to format it for MAC OS. I opted for a fresh install so i chose to install a brand new copy of El Capitan. This involved downloading a copy from the Apple store to a flash drive and the instaliing the new drive and running the set up from the flash drive. There are plenty of options to clone your current drive (some free) so you can clone and then install and you are done. My mid 2012 MBP saw a huge preformance increase with this drive. I changed to this HD and also went from 8gig of MEM to 16gig of MEM - it is like a brand new computer now.
