Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT500MX500SSD1(Z)

Ouch, the lost time on this really stings. I spent the better part of many days trying to get this to work. I was hoping to replace my 1TB internal windows 7 drive with this 500GB SSD. Since only 350GB of the original disc was full, everything said this would work. The auto clone function in the software appeared to work (and gave a success message) but booting failed. Some said I should instead try using the “backup” and “restore” method, which I also did. The software is incredibly painful to use (you need to wait up to several minutes between clicking on a button and getting a response). I’ve now spent the better part of several days trying all sorts of things to get this to work. I REALLY wanted this to work. Sometimes I can get it to boot to safe mode, and my icons & desktop appear, but I quickly get a BSOD (blue screen of death) before I can do anything. Other times it just goes to an infinite boot loop.

I thin for the price it is really good. It is really fast. Windows boots up in 9 seconds and most games arouns that time also. It ia really good value. 500 gbs are good enough to store those programs and games you need to load fast

This ssd doesnt come with the M3 screws required to install it, (or the sata cable). Super annoying!

Ok, so I got my ssd today and I opened the package to see a plastic casing with the ssd inside. At first, I thought that the ssd was bent inward, but I just passed it along as an illusion (I know, stupid af). When I tried to open the plastic casing, it didnt budge. It was as if there was superglue sticking the two plastic pieces together. Finally I got the casing open to see that the sdd inside was actually bent inward all along. My illusion was fake, and the ssd was really bent. Obviously I will get a replacement and one is to come in the next 2 days. I will update yall with speeds and how it performances soon.

Lo instalé en una iMac 21.5 inch late 2013, para lo que no se requiere adaptador adicional. Encaja bien en el receptáculo original que viene con la máquina. Se calienta poco bajo cargas normales de trabajo. No lo he utilizado con videojuegos, así que no podría suministrar información adicional en este sentido. Después de la instalación la velocidad de la iMac aumentó considerablemente (el disco original era un HDD mecánico a 5400 RPM, muy lento). Lo recomiendo.

Likes. Great capacity, easy installation, and really good price. Its operating well with no noticeable increase in battery draw-down. I now use my old 1TB solid state hard drive as a backup drive. I dont do gaming, so I made no rating under that category.

Schnelle Lieferung, alles super.

Works great, simple to install and is fast compared to a spinner-hard drive. I use it as a backup clone drive to my M.2 Boot drive.

Compre este disco para substituir uno de 5400rpm de mi portátil. Le ha dado una nueva vida, mejora un montón la velocidad. Una de las cosas mas importantes es que en la pagina de crucial hay una versión de Acronis que sirve para copiar de un disco duro a otro, por lo que el cambio resulto muy sencillo

Aucune problème à linstallation et les performances sont correctes.
