  • Great Performance Boost for an Aging Workhorse
My girlfriend's older Dell Inspiron N5110 Laptop was starting to get pretty slow despite being maxed out on ram, so I talked her into letting me install an SSD for her. I had previously installed a 525 gb MX300 on my laptop and was impressed with the results. The MX500 has good reviews, a fair price, excellent reliability, solid performance and a 5 year warranty. C/Net has an excellent article on installing an SSD so I used that as a guide. The hardest part was actually getting to the hard drive. My HP was easy to access, but her Dell required a fairly major disassembly. Luckily I had previously replaced the motherboard to fix a charging problem, so I am familiar with the disassembly. I bought a simple external SSD enclosure with a USB connection so I could clone the old hard drive. C/Net suggested using Macrium Reflect software to create the clone. The program is easy to use and worked flawlessly. Crucial offers their own software, but I was already familiar with Reflect. Compared to the old hard drive, the MX500 is lightweight, fast and quiet. After the installation, I used Crucial's free Storage Executive software to make sure I had the most up to date firmware. My girlfriend was very happy with the significantly shorter boot time as well as the time it takes to open a program. No more lag time and freeze ups. I had done everything I could to speed up her older drive, but nothing worked and it is probably 10 years old. ... show more

  • Quality you'd expect
I have been using Crucial SSDs since 2010. After getting my first one, I never went with a different brand unless there was some unavoidable reason. Crucial has consistently delivered me quality products with excellent performance and longevity. To this day, I still use my first SSD from them and it works just as well as the day I got it. The drives have only gotten faster and cheaper since. The MX500 is no exception. It gives you the vast edge that you want over a traditional HDD. You can't go back after making the switch. Operating System boot time, application loading, and general file access are leagues faster. One of the best things about this product is that once you buy it, you won't need a replacement for a very long time. This will very likely outlive the rest of the computer it is housed in. Mine has outlived several laptop/desktop configurations. Every single one I have bought for myself or others still works. If you do run into an issue, Crucial's tech support is fantastic. I ran into a problem a few years ago where my laptop wasn't detecting the SSD. It turns out that the machine itself was the problem(voltage issue), not the drive. The representative I got on the line was respectful and spoke clear English. They even make the RMA process painless. I fully recommend this product. The MX series from Crucial does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's going to save you time and practically pay for itself over its lifetime. ... show more

  • Greatly increased the boot and program loading speeds of my Toshiba laptop
I bought two of these. This first review is for the 500GB SSD. My review for the 1TB drive is below. This serves two purposes for me. It greatly speeded up myToshiba i3 laptop as compared to the HDD. Also, the HDD now serves as a backup in case the SSD fails. The original HDD is 500GB so I went for the same size SSD. I downloaded and installed the Acronis True Image software from the Crucial web site. I cloned the drive using a USB to SATA adapter and the software said it was successful. The software runs in the Windows 10 environment. I removed the HDD, installed the SSD and the computer booted up much faster. Programs also start much faster. I did not need the included spacer for this computer. This second review is for the 1TB SSD. I downloaded and installed the Acronis True Image software from the Crucial web site. I cloned the drive using a USB to SATA adapter and the software said it was successful. However, when I installed it into my laptop, the computer would not boot. I put the HDD back in and connected the SSD. Windows Explorer did not recognize the drive, but it was visible in disk management. After spending a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong, I found cloning software called AOMEI Backupper Standard. This software successfully cloned the HDD to the SSD. The computer boots up and works normally. It greatly speeded up myToshiba i5 laptop as compared to the HDD. After doing more research, I found out that the recommended process is to create a Media Recovery CD or USB flash drive to boot from that, and also to have the SSD installed in the computer and the original HDD connected to a USB to SATA adapter. This will enable the SSD to be bootable after the cloning. However, I believe that the original HDD will no longer be bootable after cloning it using this method. I have not tried doing it this way since I had success with AOMEI Backupper Standard. I needed the included spacer for this computer. I recommend both of these drives since the end result of cloning the HDDs with SSDs is much faster laptop computers, and having drop-in backups of the original HDDs in case a drive fails. ... show more
