Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT1000MX500SSD1

No issues (yet).

Great

My hard drive died so I put this in my laptop to replace it. It was a real noticeable difference in regards to processing speed. Im actually glad my drive died so I could upgrade to the SSD.

As someone who is always looking to speed up their computer, I was excited to try out the Crucial MX500 SSD. Upon receiving the product, I was impressed with how quickly it arrived and the care taken in packaging the drive.

This little SSD has held up very well for me. I got it because I was running my pc off of one hard drive and I wanted something to help boot my computer a lot faster. This product did the trick. It took down my start up time from minutes to seconds. I could really see the difference when it came to launching different software as well. One of the most annoying things was waiting for all my applications to boot up when I started my system. This SSD was so much faster and made a big difference in the time I had to wait while all my software that boot on start warmed up. I still use this SSD in my build to this day and have not had any issues with it. I am not the biggest computer expert, but if you just need a cheap SSD to help you start off your build this is a great option.

Got this for a thunderport dock for my mac mini and 1TB is too small but 4TB will last me a while. I dont know how fast this drive is as the thunderport dock uses a USB controller for the drive, which isnt as fast as SATA, but it is good enough to store files on.

SSD is installed and working and it did speed up my computer, I had mechanical drive which was slow. My problem was the Acronis software to clone my old drive kept ending with an error. After almost a week of searching for a fix and contacting Acronis still no fix. My solution was to find 3rd party software for cloning. Four hours later my old drive was cloned to the new SSD and installed that night. Im not necessarily blaming Acronis, this is a free scaled down version of their software for Crucial installation. A side note Amazon did offer to do a return but I really wanted the upgrade, it was just more difficult than it should have been.

Put this into an older computer and wow! It really sped it up.

It’s really fast and worth the price.

I have an HP Pavillion All-in-one PC that was top spec 5 years ago. For some time it has run ridiculously slow. It was very frustrating waiting for it to load Word, Excel, a photo or PDF. I had been reading about Solid State Drive replacements and with falling reachable prices, I thought I would try one. In the past, I used Crucial to supply additional ram to help speed up slowing computers, so I elected to try their SSD.
