Review on Crucial MX500 500GB Internal SSD - Lightning Fast Speeds up to 560MB/s by Mateusz Roczon ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

I bought it to replace the old HDD in the Asus N56VZ laptop. I stuck it in without problems, installed the HDD in place of the CD drive through a sled, cloned the system using AOMEI Partition, immediately through Sata without any adapters and dances. The computer, despite its age, came to life. The system boot speed is about 8-10 seconds, instant application launch and other goodies of SSD drives. The screenshot shows the indicators with Momentum Cache enabled. Without this feature, the performance is typical for SATA3 (I got about 550 / 500)

Pros
  • Excellent speed, easy installation, case looks very reliable
Cons
  • Quite slow and clumsy Crucial Storage Executive software
