Crucial MX300 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD - CT1050MX300SSD1: Affordable High Capacity Solid State Drive for Enhanced Storage Performance Review

The first important product and certainly not the last It's an SSD, it does everything faster than an HDD, so I won't talk much about it :) Day and night performance? Yes, it's about 5x faster than my HDD and everything happens instantly, but can any cheap SSD do the same thing that Crucial offers? Set for preparing and checking smart status along with fast cache and other fun stuff. Second, the SSD looks like a tank and is packaged really well. Thirdly, their website is really well thought out

My Dell Inspirion laptop speed has improved amazingly. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and don't see why they don't put an SSD in all laptops. The computer turns on and works after about 20 seconds after turning off. The original CD lasted 2-3 minutes. Win10 was updated 5 months ago and the computer started to become very slow. I've found that it's accessing my hard drive frequently and that's causing the problem. I started looking for an SSD, not one of those hybrids. I found this…

This SSD breathed new life into my Dell XPS 8300 - now it's lightning fast! Otherwise, my desktop is a great machine: two fans, 16GB or RAM, lots of USB ports, but it had a jagged hard drive that took forever to find and load programs. I went to the Crucial website and found a "compatibility checker" that confirmed it worked. The SSD comes with access to the Acronis software, which does an excellent job of creating a duplicate or "clone" of your current hard drive. Acronis copies all of this…

I have a mid 2011 iMac that was low on disk space but had enough processing power for my needs. I just installed this guy behind an optical drive based on video instructions from Macsales. You'll need suction cups, the right screwdrivers, and a SATA cable to connect it to your motherboard; They are available as a kit from Revain or elsewhere. Installation is not difficult, but requires attention to detail and monitoring the number of screws and connectors. I installed High Sierra on this drive…

Bought to replace the hard drive in my early 2011 MacBook Pro. Quick and easy installation, especially as it is a clean install of Sierra OS. It now takes 20 seconds for the system to boot and the login screen to appear. Programs run very fast, no problems so far. The system also runs much cooler. Early 2011 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM

I had no problems installing this SSD (although I forgot to add a bracket to fit in a standard hard drive bay). It works as expected. My only complaint is with the Acronis True Image software that Crucial makes available for download. You will receive the 2015 version of True Image HD Build 4061. This software often causes problems for Windows 10 users based on my experience and the experience of others (which is easy to verify by googling the issue). My computer often froze and after…

I am working on a large project to restore my old film and print images. I ordered this CD hoping it would speed up the project. While this drive is slightly faster than my old hard drive, it's not fast enough to justify the cost of the drive. Its main benefit seems to be that I can use a larger drive in my laptop without additional heat from the drive. It comes with a spacer to place under the drive as it is a little thinner than a regular hard drive. Also, migrating from my old hard drive…

This is amazing. Most computers today are equipped with a solid state drive, or SSD for short. For those not very familiar with computers, there's a difference between an old-fashioned floppy drive, where a real hard drive spins and stores data, and a flash drive, which plugs into a USB port. The benefits of an SSD drive are startlingly obvious: First, when you update the second period, your time start is almost instantaneous. You know that annoying Windows logo that you have to stare at for a…

I have this for my Windows 10 computer. I had a SATA 2TB HD 7200rpm. I have an AMD FX 4 Core and an ASUS FX MB with 32GB DDR3 RAM and a Radeon R7 GPU with 1GB RAM. Okay, but Windows 10 takes a while to load. I installed a CLEAN install of Windows 10, SELF-ACTIVATED Windows, so I didn't spend any time on it. HOLY COW IT'S FAST NOW! Okay, here are the actual times. From pressing the ON button on my case to logging into Windows 10 in 4.3 seconds. From entering my password to starting Windows 10…
