Review on Crucial BX500 480GB SATA Internal SSD 💾 with 3D NAND Technology, Up to 540MB/s - CT480BX500SSD1Z by Ba Li ᠌

It took me about 3 days to optimize (correspondence with Support, search for programs to move the partition to the right, etc.), here are the best practices: First, make Momentum Cache, and then you will have to tinker with the Reserve Area (Over Provisioning (OP)) if the Recovery partition is to the right of C:\ and not at the beginning of the drive. Crucial Support wrote in a letter that it (OP) should be located at the very end (on the right). I have a Recovery partition after the C: (Boot) partition, and in Windows 10 Disk Management I was able to create a partition for OP only between them, and not at the very end on the right. I tried 3-4 programs for this (mostly free, one paid Trial, 30-day) - it didn’t work out. I had to boot Acronis Disk Director 12.5 from a flash drive and Create a volume in Unallocated space (the one between C: (Bootable) and Recovery) (it is also called unallocated space, and in Disk Management - Unallocated (area)). Check the boxes, set the percentages, and on the left you need to set 0GB, and on the right click and the desired size will appear, depending on the percentages set. It seemed to do so. I had to take a video, I fiddled for a long time. After clicking on the Reserve Area button in the Crucial Storage Executive, one section turned into two. Acer laptop with i3 processor (low price category). And the speed has decently increased))), especially in Crystal Disk Mark v.3.0.3 (2022 version).
