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

My first SSD and I am highly impressed. I put one in my game pc and games like WOW when I load zones I do so in 1/5th the amount of time I did before, windows boots to desktop in 12 seconds, everything feels snappier, just in general I am VERY happy with this drive. Happy enough I put one in my second pc, my wifes computer and in my playstation 4 pro.

I got this on sale for $100, and for that price this is an absolute steal, and honestly I would have been willing to pay more for it. Speed isnt blazing, but its slotted in between TLC SSDs and MLC SSDs and can often be had for TLC SSD price. This is especially great for my itx build, where I dont have the luxury of space to fit spinning platter drives but still want a decent amount of storage. Hasnt stopped working after a couple months, so no immediate reliability issues are present.

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.

Excellent quality of hard drive. The included software did the job of migrating correctly and easily, but contained some annoying adware.

This is a very fast little SSD. I have an Asus ROG GL552VW laptop which already has a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB m.2 SSD for OS and a 1TB 2.5 HDD that came with the laptop. I removed the ODD of my laptop and used a HDD caddy to move the HDD to this position. Then I connected the MX300 in the place of the HDD. I have dedicated the MX300 for my Steam, Origin and Uplay collection. The difference is performance is obvious. Games load much faster and I feel there is less to no stuttering in games like Shadow of Mordor and No Mans sky where large draw distances are used. So it should work well with games with large open maps.

I bought one of these to upgrade my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I had previously replace the original hard drive with a 750GB drive, but the system was getting slower with each successive release of the Mac OS. I was concerned when I first got this drive because there were no instructions except for a web link to a utility that runs on windows. So I clicked on the chat button of the Crucial web site and was promptly greeted by an agent who gave me the link for instructions on a Mac. I had already upgraded to El Capitan and the instructions for installation did not require any third party software, only the Mac disk utility. I used an external drive case to connect the new drive to my Mac (the one I got for my earlier disk upgrade) and cloned my hard drive to the Crucial SSD. This took quite something like 8 hours due to the disk size and the relatively slow USB connection, so I was a bit worried about how the SSD would perform once I installed in my MacBook. My worries were unfounded; my system works really well and boots up in a fraction of the time it used to. Almost everything runs much faster and the computer feels like new once again. The only glitch Ive had so far is that my Microsoft Office 11 software decided it was on a new machine and demanded that I enter the license number before I could use it. Fortunately, I save the original disks and packaging, so it all worked well (and quickly) after I entered the license number. I like this upgrade so much I will get another for my wifes Macbook Pro and also for my Mac mini.

I bought this at a cheap price during Black Friday, installed it and after some tricky formatting (moving a C drive turns out to not be incredibly easy... especially if you screw a step) it seems to be working quite well. My games load very fast and I havent heard or had any stuttering. Im actually not sure how the speed of this stacks up to more expensive drives, or what the lifetime is, but as a cheap 750GB SSD option I couldnt ask for better.

Used it as a replacement for my 500GB Dell laptop OEM HD and have loved it since. Did have a little problem transferring cloning the original HD onto it but overcame that easily. Boot up time is fast and obviously file access is equally rapid. I dont have any benchmark studies but am completely satisfied with its performance. Virus scans provide the most extreme example of the speed gains with a SSD. The Quick Scan for Microsoft Defender virus check is so fast I was completely caught off guard when it flashed complete. The original OEM HD was no slouch but this is in a class by itself. Not quite instantaneous in loading files and programs but fast enough to satisfy me for a relatively modest investment.

I bought this SSD when it was on sale for 100 dollar and it was such a good investment. You see HDD going for half that price of 1tb but the speed is nothing compared to this. This SSD is totally worth buying and I recommend anyone debating on buying it or not to buy it.

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.
