Crucial M550 256Gb Msata Internal Solid State Drive

I bought the MyCloudEX2, a Crucial M550 SSD, and Newer Technology Adapta Drive all from B&H. It all went together quickly and now have all files shared on my home network. The adapter came with the screws to mount the SSD and the bigger screws to slide in the 3.5 bay. Quick, easy, light weight but not weak.

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.

I had a Crucial SSD that was only 256GB. It was a few years old and filled up to 90%. I started to get some software lagging time in opening and overall windows freezing up. I don't know if it was due to the SDD filled near to the max or corrupt software. Generally, I like to do a complete reinsall of Windows every year or two to get rid of these problems, so opted to put in a 1TB drive so there will not be any more issues with the drive getting full. I love the SSD, now only have 1 moving part in my laptop, the cooling fan. This 1TB SSD is actually lighter by 1/2 the weight of my 256SSD. The SSD comes with software that partitions the drive, leaving 10% for memory...I'm trying that for a 1st time to improve speed. Note that 1TB does not equal 1TB of usable space. I think that's a little misleading of all HD/SSD's but was understood going into my purchase.

KC600 SSD 256GB mSATA installed in laptop works very well for upgrade of original SSD. Shipment arrived on schedule.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

My new computer has an internal 256GB SSD drive and that does not have enough space to hold all the Photos I take of Seniors, weddings, landscape, etc.. So, I looked and found this 5TB drive to have the space I need for my photo storage. Works great and does not require external power. Also, the small size makes it great to carry in my laptop bag.

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.
