> 3 dayEven though I did not get to try these specific 525gb drives out I own plenty of them in various sizes. Well, My rating is not because of the lack of performance on the drive but its lack of compatibility of utility software on other operating systems other than Windows... Cmon Crucial.. Extremely Disappointed in the blatant disregard of supporting a huge customer base of your product. Not only do I use these on my Linux based servers but in my MacBook Pro. So the responses I have received back regarding the unimportance of the software which if true stop advertising it so boldly on your packaging e.g. Storage Executive which increases drive to blazing speeds!!! Supported Operating Systems • Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) • Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) • Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) Yet oddly enough there is no mention on the packaging of this limitation? Or the fact it does not support Raid. Why? Is it not important? I know I would like to have the utilities to tweak my optimal performance also especially thats why I purchased them for my raid db servers and MacBook Pro.. and no I do not wish to go spend my time to R&D other solutions supported by major customer base Operating Systems. I could understand if I was trying to get this to work on some absurd setup. Wake up or hopefully the consumers will and stop buying deceptive marketed drives. I am not allowed to post the link to the PDF but it can be found...

17-11-2024Ive got this for half of the regular price from a blackfriday deal at the Amazon. Installed it yesterday. Works great with my macbook pro mid 2012 13 inch non retina model with Sierra. Boot up speed improved to circa 20 seconds, Programs open as you click on the icons. It is like a new model. Im very pleased with the result so far. Cons: Migration software Acronis serial key which comes in th box only works with windows version of the program. However Apples own disk utility tool does the job while cloning the disk, no other tool or program is needed. There are also youtube links at the Crucials website, explaining how to do the entire process. Tips: Dont forget to choose the new SSD as your startup disk in the preferences menu. Otherwise the start up time increases. I figured it out after a little dissapointment. The item is shipped to Turkey with an extra USD18,46 for shipping and customs and delivered to my door in 13 days. I was able to track the whole process at the Amazons website. This was a very nice experience. I did not know that Amazon handled the whole customs process. Everything went so smooth.

> 3 dayThis Solid State Drive is working Excellent. Computer starts up and is running after BIOS starts in about eight seconds. I needed to contact Crucial to get software recommendations to make the SSD to its fullest size by increasing the partition, as the cloning software that I used (Macrium Reflect) mirrored my computer. Once done, you uninstall the free Partition software and the clone software. For those who have never owned a Solid State Drive, please note that you NEVER Defragment the drive, as this will degrade the performance of your SSD. Just turn this off under services.msc in your start menu. NOTE also, contrary to some websites, you can leave Windows Search turned on as this will speed up your computer even more when looking for things. Remember, DISABLE defragment and ensure that you have Optimize for SSD checked in Macrium Reflect. The clone process takes about One hour on a 500GB HDD to a 698 SSD. I do not recommend the Acronis software as it does not run within a Windows environment and will display errors, use the Free Macrium Reflect software instead.

> 3 dayThis was BIG DEAL!! Just less than $100. (in 2016 Late) It is in my PS4 Original. Loading is short than HDD. And, it’s not have problem.

> 3 dayDrive is very good and fast. Loads windows 10 up in about 20 seconds on a cold start up with a budget HP 15 laptop. I will say this though for the inexperienced, if you have a low memory budget machine (like this one which only maxes out at 8 gigs), then make sure you dont enable momentum cache in Crucials Storage Executive software. It could cause audio jitters during playback. Another thing is that the Acronis software caused a lot of crashes for some strange reason. It worked flawlessly throughout the cloning procedure, but after a couple of months it started crashing a lot. So just make sure you save the code and uninstall it if you start getting that problem.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayGreat SSD for the price. I used it to replace an old laptop hard drive. The laptop runs faster then ever. I did have to get a 3 party cloning software because the one that came included did not work for me.

> 3 dayExcellent quality of hard drive. The included software did the job of migrating correctly and easily, but contained some annoying adware.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayI installed this in my HP laptop after getting a Windows message that my hard drive was failing. Using the recommended software for cloning I transferred the files and installed the new drive. Hurray! It booted up and worked normally with all my programs and files in place and operative.
