    After almost 2 months, this SSD has been very solid for my needs, and not too difficult to setup it’s storage executive software, for 85 dollars, it’s an amazingly good deal. Highly recommend it!

    I bought two of these, one for my 10 year old HP Pavilion desktop and another one for a Pavillion laptop, which is relatively new. Both loaded Windows way too long, maybe 10-15 minutes. To replace the HDD in the laptop was super straightforward, I closed the lid and now enjoy the fastest laptop I ever owned! For a desktop I had to buy an adapter (sheet metal), as the old HDD was 3”. Nevertheless, replacement was a breath. My desktop is now one of the fastest machines I tried… This SSD does work! It turned the two machines I planned to dumped into power machines that load Windows in about 1 minute! Works for me, can recommend.

    Clone old HDD to Crucial SSD Went well

    I used my USB 3.0 Sabrent docking station to clone from installed hard drive to the new Crucial using the Acronis for Crucial clone software. When the drives are identical in size, straight forward. My new drive is 1 TB, old 500GB. I chose auto and it went very quick, less than 30 minutes, but had to go back into Windows disk management on PC to stretch the new partition from 500 to 1000 GB . Would be better to do this with Acronis up front. I thought Auto would have done this, and the free Acronis is not a partition manager, but windows tools worked well to adjust this. Otherwise all went well.Helps to have USB 3.0 to greatly speed up transfer.

    This is one of the best upgrades I have purchased for my PC. Installation was super easy and the drive is super fast. If you need a 1tb SSD, you should really get this. The price to performance ratio is just right.

    Great drive but hard to find in Windows 11

    This drive was very easy to install. However upon installation it showed up in BIOS but would not show up in Windows File Explorer. We reinstalled and still could not find it in Windows File Explorer or in Disk Management. Luckily I was able to find one comment online after weeks of searching that for some reason this drive was put into a storage pool in Windows 11. Once it was deleted from there it showed up everywhere. A little frustration but a lot of value!

    Had to help a client replace her SSD that only had 128GB with this one on her laptop. Was easy to install and price point was very good. Have used these for other clients and definitely recommend.

    Good boot drive for an old computer

    I didn't buy this for myself - but my friend had no issue installing the drive nor installing windows and what-not. Should be good enough for what he does with a computer, especially with the platform he is on. There is a small chance this drive survives longer than the motherboard at this point, it's a relic that's not been ran easily through it's life!

    I purchased this ssd to replace a mechanical hard drive in a 10 year old computer that was really slow loading windows. Now it takes about 20 seconds to boot up. Great upgrade and the price was fair.

    Bought them for our HP Pavilion Gaming Laptops since the laptop can run a 2.5” SSD alongside its M.2 SSD. So far, not disappointed at all! Definitely worth taking a look at for the price and reliability

    Fast and reliable drive. I bought it to replace a failing older drive. I got it working quickly and it's so much faster than the old spinning media. I won't buy spinning media, except for LARGE capacity drives anymore. Looking at my reviews one would think I only give 5 stars, but I don't like giving negative reviews unless I think that people need to beware. I do a lot of research before I buy so that I don't usually regret my purchases. Nothing worse than buyers remorse. This drive had been great. I do recommend it. I buy several drives each year to replace failed drives in computers, so I also have experience with many of these.
