Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the nitro 5 i5 processor gaming laptop and with it comes the capability to expand the SSD. The build allowed me to get this beautiful hard drive which worked flawlessly. Quiet smooth quick and easily recognizable without the bloatware. As I had the appropriate slot empty there was no need to clone the drive, but the software is available free to use as well. I love the fact that it is a memory that I have used in past and know the reliability of the brand and the SSD relies on that same premise. This one is more secure and still fast without the threat of power /data loss. General Drawback It could have been much cheaper, for certain for the comparable hard drives there was notable competition. Lowering this paired with the outstanding reliability would be a five star value. Unfortunately the requirement to have online access to get this material is essential. This can be daunting to a system that is in critical state with a failed hard drive as you would have to make a way to recover. A thumb drive install would have been great for that case which is a complaint across the board for all hard drives now.

Just finished upgrading my HP laptop with the Crucial MX500 1TB. No special tools required. Fits right into SSD slot. I did not do any disk imaging, as I had most of my programs backed up in the cloud and will require just password installation. I just used the Microsoft media Creation tool found in Microsoft website to reinstall Windows 10. You will however, need an 8GB USB drive to download the software from MS. once transferred and followed instructions you will then plug the USB to the laptop and boot from the USB port. Make sure you have the MS serial number for Windows 10. I noticed that MS recognized my serial number stored in my MS profile (cloud) and did not need to search for it! You will immediately notice how fast the laptop starts with very little lag time and response time when opening programs also has improved greatly. No issues in the internet, as well. Recommend this SSD. PS, since the laptop is now open, this is good time to also upgrade/expand internal memory. I also went from 8 GB to 16. Both of these upgrades make your laptop just as new and refreshed as any, as long as it is not a very old laptop.

Bought it for one of my desktops for extra space, and speed. Worth the money. Crucial always making good stuff. Easy to install.

I bought this to be my main drive to store footage for editing. It does amazingly! Even through an external USB 3.1 bay it is incredibly fast (much faster than a HDD). It is stable, and one thing that made me choose this over a traditional drive is because it is an SSD it has no moving parts and is completely silent.

If you are looking to save a few bucks on a SSD-- this is the one. You can often find this SSD on sale, but its MSRP is already cheaper than other brands. It's a 1TB sata SSD. It works, it loads games and applications very quickly. If you are reading this in 2021, it's time to go with Solid State Drives.

Excellent storage device. Fits everything I need and speeds for read and write are excellent. Using a Samsung 980 pro NVME and I can't notice a difference. For the price this drive is a must.

Used this for my PS5. No issues and easy install. Good price for your buck.

this product is great. So great thats the only sata drive i want. super fast and great performance

Great value. Just be sure to format and download the Acronis software from Crucial website. This upgrade for a client gave new life to their aging laptop. Totally good enough.

I got this to saap out the hard drive in my sons PS4 to get a little extra life from it. The swap was simple and the new hard drive works exactly how it should.

This is by far the best SSD. The cloning was easy and entire setup did not take more than 15 minutes. My pst attempts to clone and installing SSD of other brand has failed. But crucial SSD was just so easy and quick. I would highly recommend this SSD for upgrading your traditional Sata disks.

Great amount of storage, and it is a great price as well. My laptop has never run this fast. And it is old.

Easy install. Crucial provides software for migrating to the new drive. Sped up the laptop immensely. Like a brand new machine. Did have an issue where the migration software showed I was short ~150 MB. Check online. There is a simple way to "shrink" the main drive. After that no issues.

Got this new hard drive for my computer and it works great and so much easier and faster than my old hard drive wish I had bought one sooner!

Nice upgrade for an old laptop. Great capacity and decent speeds brought an old laptop back to life.

Summary; Great performance, fast, and reasonably priced SSD. Pros - Fast - Reasonably priced Cons - As with most SSD, does not come with the mounting screws. You will need to purchase them separately. Neutral - Cannot speak to durability yet, but Crucial does has a warranty.

Purchased to replace original Hard Drive. It's faster and feel I got good value for the price. It seems be be reliable product.

Considering the fact that I was contemplating throwing my 5 year old laptop this computers in the trash, my purchase of the Best Buy Protection Plan allow provided a diagnostic check and repair on my electronic items for free, so I brought it in to have it checked out. The geek squad troubleshot and found that the HDD was bad. For the low price of $69 for a 1TB SSD, Best Buy made this decision very easy. It is not my primary computer but it serves its purpose. It runs like a brand new computer again The solution , a $69 SSD.

Great SSD for my older laptop. Life saver when my slightly out of warranty laptop hard drive gave up the ghost. Decided to upgrade to SSD from the old spinning platters. Best decision. Faster startup, lower noise, lower power consumption, and overall better performance.

I have been using Crucial ssd since they first came out, and non have failed me so far, so this time I needed a clone of my main drive, I have hdd clones but they are about 7 yrs old and one of these days they might not be accessible so I want to be sure that I am covered, I just need a 500gb but unfortunately Best Buy did not have one available so I just picked this 1 tb Crucial, I have one Crucial 500gb ssd with Windows 7 which I switch to when I need to use my old programs that would not run on Windows 10 i.e. Adobe CS3, and another with Win 10, all my old Crucial were MLC which I prefer, these newer ones are TLC, 3d are supposed to be an improvement over the old TLC, though they did have 500gb on m.2, but I still prefer this type of ssd due to non heating and throttling issue that m.2 suffers, so now I will just wait and see if the newer one will be as good or better than my 2 older ssds. But I do trust this company so I could for sure recommend using their products
