A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

In the absence of alternatives, I took this SSD for 4400, but I recommend taking the M2 if you have the opportunity to take the M2 SSD for about the same money + - 200 with a Pci-E interface (Important, M2 with Pci-E support, M2 with an interface SATA does not make much sense compared to a regular SATA SSD 2.5, only there will be a little less wires in the case, there are no other advantages)

Pros

+ Speed - the speed is amazing, after HDD you feel dramatic changes +Off. software from Crucial Storage Executive - I can't fully evaluate it yet, but according to the Internet, the software can improve the performance of the SSD, so you need to install it. + Reliability and cost - go together, because unlike competitors' SSDs, which put a phison ps3111-s11 memory controller, Crucial uses Silicon Motion SM2258XT for its BX500 - which, although structurally, is not very far from Phison (it also does not use DRAM cache ), but according to numerous reviews outperforms the competitor in terms of reliability.

Cons

- A visible, but almost imperceptible drop in read / write speed when the SSD is ~ 70% full, the laptop turned on Windows in 17 seconds before filling, now - in 21-24 seconds. (Laptop has Storage Executive installed and Momentum Cache enabled)
