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

Would rate 5 stars but a clean install shows only 698 GB available, maybe the OS takes 52GB?

I replaced my late 2011 MacBook Pros failing hard drive with this one. My laptop got a new life as performance is amazing. Very happy with the purchase. I chose to install fresh OS on new drive and copied files from old drive using external case.

Was excited when I saw the package in my mailbox. With this excitement I go and power down my computer thinking of how my other driver will have some much needed storage support. Go ahead and plug in the cables, dust off its bay, close the case and power this sucker up. I then go and open my disk manager and discover that it doesnt appear there :V. Thinking that I messed something up decide to change cables to another driver that I have plugged in and no go. Seems that I got the lemon of the bunch. Leaving a 2-star review because I have faith that there is still hope for this SSD in my life. Will update when I get the new one.

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.

everything good!

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.

Replaced a 6y/o hdd with this. its better than new. i used Macrium Reflect instead of Acronis. Take the time to manage your partitions so you dont have unallocated space separated from the drive you want to expand. It took about three hours to clone the hdd to ssd via usb 2.0 cable. An excellent upgrade.

With an SATA-to-USB 3.0 adapter, this works great as a portable USB drive. Its super-fast for back-ups and file transfers, and its so much smaller than a typical external USB drive. Eventually, this will make its way into a desktop system replacing a 3.5 7200rpm 500 GB hard-drive...from experience, I can anticipate huge performance improvements with an solid-state drive in that system.

I really like this drive. I used the included Acronis software (seems this is a customized version for Crucial of the 2015 software; more than the free version but less than the full) to clone my hdd 1 TB drive and then installed the Crucial MX300 ssd drive in my Inspiron 15 7537 laptop. My boot time is the fastest Ive ever had. I will probably do a clean install of windows 10 at some point, just because I like to keep things in good shape and I dont fully trust cloning based on things Ive read. Definitely enable Momentum Cache in the Crucial Storage Executive Client. It pushed my read/write x4. Ive included my Crystal Disk Mark results after enabling the Momentum Cache. I used the StarTech hard drive enclosure S2510SM12U33 to use in cloning my drive after reading many reviews (and will use it after to house my hdd drive). Read lots of horror stories about non-bootable drives after cloning. Just happy this worked on the first try.

Works as advertised but slower than my 850 EVOs. I have 2 of these in RAID 0 and althoug the read speeds hit close to 1000mb/s the write speed is still staying around 500mb/s which was a little depressing. However, due to the amount of storage, I have decided to deal with the slower than expected RAID write speed and keep these.
