Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the second crucial SSD I have used one 500gb and one 1tb. So far no gripes. Would recommend to any friends or businesses.

This was perfect for my little rig. I was looking for something inexpensive but with a good reputation. This is working great.

I thought my computer had windows 11 but they installed windows 10. Other than that all went well

Product works well, SSD boots up computer and other applications quicker than you can blink your eyes. Very good stuff

Great Value, good well-known company good read/write speed. solid metal case. Great support software. excellent choice.

I bought two of these MX500 SSD drives in May for a new computer build that I was finally able to find all the parts and start building at the end of June. Fortunately, they were just extra library drives for an audio recording computer, with M.2 drives as the system drive and primary library drive. One of the MX500 drives is still working -- however, the other failed in just two weeks. No warning at all -- it just stopped showing up in the drive list. All power and MB connections were fine -- also tried it in an external dock on another computer, just to make sure. Sure enough, it was dead. Of course, it's outside the return window for Best Buy, but will try to get a RMA with Crucial and see if I can get a replacement. In the meantime, I may order another SSD from another brand - and just in case the other MX500 is from the same batch and happens to fail. Thankfully, I had HDD copies (via external dock) of most of my sound libraries on SSD -- made it a bit less of a disaster.

Crucial is always good quality, both the electronics and the physical case.

Great upgrade from my old hard drive. Faster loading with great value.

Good price, works great. Imaged my old spindle drive to this with Macrium and the boot speed is great!

Crucial is always quality. Bought this as a gift for a friend to expand his old PS4's storage and speed it up.

Quick addition to my laptop for my Steam library. Quiet operation and super easy to install. Price matched.

This has made my computer so much faster than my old drive. So glad Nathan correctly identified my problem.

They work. Usually. Have seen failures. If Samsung is not available you can usually use there.

Good drive for value, bit slow but fine for general use

Wasn’t working with my old motherboard. But, it was relatively cheap for a 1Tb SSD.

My husband needed this for his computer. He said it works well

Excellent drive. Had for over a 2 years and had zero issues. Would buy again.

The Crucial MX500 SSD is a great product in a small package and can serve many needs. For my purpose, I wasn’t seeking a replacement for my main hard drive. The reason is my current solution has my OS on a NVMe/PCIe SSD. It’s faster than the SATA makeup of this one. With that being said, it doesn’t disappoint though. My secondary drive was a standard SATA HDD and this Crucial MX500 SSD is a great upgrade. It allowed me to stock more games and programs on a faster solution. I didn’t record the time it took things to open, but it clearly opens things a lot quicker than before. To get to this point, the process was pretty easy once I had everything I needed. Crucial supplies an Acronis cloning tool that is pretty straightforward to use. Before you use it though, you need to find a way to connect the SSD to the computer to transfer the data. The directions call for an USB-to-SATA cable and that is an additional purchase that needs to be made. The software is free though. Once you finish the easy steps to set it up, you are good to go. You just need to find a free slot in your computer and connect it for use. Personally, it had been a long time since I set up a hard drive and this was the easy thing I needed to get to where I wanted to be. I look forward to extending the life and performance of my system for quite some time. If anyone is using a SATA HDD, then I think they would truly benefit upgrading to the Crucial MX500 SSD. It’s very affordable and easy to set up.

Looks like the hard drive might be okay, but the installation service may not have been okay. I sometimes have the same hard drive issue I had before taking my laptop to the Geek Squad at Best Buy.

excellent product, totally worth the upgrade, especially when on sale
