Crucial M500 240Gb Msata Internal Solid State Drive

Solid reliable SSD drive. �I use it to replace an older and smaller, 500GB, Crucial M500 SSD drive. �This 850 Pro drive is much faster to boot and run programs.

The crucial solid state drive installed with ease. I have double the storage memory and it's 5 or 6 times faster than my old hard drive. That's a win win for me. Joe C. Charlotte, N.C.

I purchased this product to move the Windows virtual machine that I run on my MacBook Pro under VMWare Fusion off my internal storage because I was running out of space on the laptop's solid state drive. While I haven't run benchmarks, it appears it to start up and run the Windows apps as fast (or maybe only very slightly slower) than from the Macbook's internal solid state drive. It is an excellent product for this application.

If you are installing an internal Solid State Drive to your desktop computer, you'll need this SATA wire unless you are able to scavenge one off another attached device that you no longer use. It attaches to the back of the SSD (or other SATA device) and to the mother board.

Solid state drive worth it.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

As a computer repairman with decades of experience I only use Crucial Solid State Drives in my own computers and recommend them to all my clients. I have never had one fail though I have seen Samsung and Intel drives die.

I've been using Crucial and WD SSDs since the M500, and so far, they're all still in commission. To compare, i purchased a Samsung 250gb 850 many many years ago and it failed right out of the gate. I would buy this again.

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!
