I have an old HP DV6 laptop that was a dog from the day it arrived a number of years ago. I spent hours going over all the settings trying to speed it up, even overclocking the CPU, all to no avail. I put the computer away and tried to forget the gross error of my purchase. But from time to time I would think of the laptop in the closet and imagining I might be able to have a go at fixing it with a brand new solid state drive. By this time the sting of my waste of $600 on this blasted thing had faded. I felt I no longer had anything to lose if I screwed things up. If I failed I'd just donate the mess to the local electronics recycle store and forget everything. The original mechanical drive in the laptop was 500GB but in pricing SSD replacements I thought putting in a 250GB drive would be more economical. After all, I would use it only for Web browsing and E mail. So I ordered the Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA SSD. After reading some reviews I learned I also needed the Sabrent SSD to USB adapter to clone the old hard drive and downloaded the Acronis cloning software as Crucial recommended. Cloning the old drive to the new SSD is where things got frustrating for me. I got everything connected, fired up the Acronis cloning software that I had downloaded onto the laptop, choose all the defaults because I had no idea what all the stuff was under the manual settings, and waited while the progress bar slowly progressed. After about an hour and a half I saw Acronis just fold up and disappear leaving nothing on the screen other than an error had occurred and that I should check some log. I couldn't find a log even after a long search on my laggy laptop. After considering what might be the problem I finally figured out that trying to clone a 500GB drive onto a 250GB target drive might be a problem. Duh. Now I'm starting to think I'm in over my head. I couldn't find anywhere on the Acronis web site how to clone a larger drive to smaller one, so I started searching the web for a solution and found a free cloning utility called EaseUS Todo that can dynamically change partition sizes during cloning. I started the process using the new software, watched the computer exit Windows and begin the cloning process. After a few hours Windows came back. I connected the SSD to another computer in order to view what was now on the new drive. It appeared to be a clone of the old drive but with different volume numbers. That worried me. What would happen when I put the new drive back in the laptop? Would it be able to read a boot drive F: ? No way to tell except to put it in there and see. Swapping the drives was the easiest part of the process. I just removed the screws holding the bracket onto the back of the laptop and then the screws holding the drive in the bracket. Lastly, pulled out the data and power connector and the drive is loose. Reverse to install the new drive. To my great relieve, when I turned the computer back on I saw that a program had automatically run to name the drive partitions back to their original letters! Windows started surprisingly fast. My old dog of a laptop had a new lease on life! So that's my story with the Crucial MX500 SSD. The drive itself is great. I'm loving it. The process of cloning the old to new seems to be more difficult than it needs to be for rank amateurs such as myself. Why couldn't have the Acronis software told me at the start my new drive was too small to clone to and then offer to make adjustments? Why did I have to search the Net to find answers? My advice for those new to things like this is clean up your old drive before you clone and get rid of the GBs of trash that are probably there. That will save you hours of time. I found some old system files from a Windows 10 upgrade that were taking up 25GBs of space. Use the Disk Cleanup app in Windows to get rid of all that before you clone. Good luck!

Upgraded an old HP EliteBook 8470p that had a 320GB hard drive. The owner after all this time was only using 30% of the drive (96GB) and wanted to save them some money so went with this 256GB drive. The Acronis software is able to downsize the partition as long as the disk usage is below the new drive size which this was by quite a bit. The laptop was barely usable with the old hard drive, took a long time to boot up Win10 and loading programs was slow too. With this SSD drive it's like a brand new computer. The biggest annoyance with the install was that the Acronis software refused to recognize this drive when hooked up to my USB hard drive adapters (I even updated the BIOS on the laptop). I initialized it using diskmgmt.msc and formatted it, and you could clearly see in device manager that is was an MX500 drive but nope it still wouldn't work. I tried 3 different adapters then finally gave up, removed the hard drive from the laptop and direct connected both drives to my desktop motherboard and then it finally worked (I could have probably used the USB adapter for the source drive, just not with this drive). The software says it supports USB hard drive adapters but that sounds like a lie to me! Granted mine are pretty old but they've been working great all these years so dunno what it's problem was. 10/27/20 Update: I needed to upgrade another computer so decided to try another USB SATA adapter to see if it would work with the Acronis software. Went with the StarTech USB3S2SAT3CB and it worked with no problems. It's just 1/1 so far though, but other reviewers said it worked for them too so that's probably the adapter to get if you are upgrading a laptop and want to use the Acronis software (which I highly recommend, it makes cloning the old hard drive a cinch, and it can deal with partition size mismatch issues no problem).

I installed this into an old Acer Aspire One 722-0667, very old and very slow (2012?). It certainly made things faster and was worth the $50 bucks I paid as makes the old system almost usable. Unfortunately, the processor is so slow that not much more can be done; nevertheless, like I said, at least it is usable now. I download the application from Crucial website allowing me to clone my drive using a USB SATA/IDE adapter and had no problems as their were videos explaining every step. The only problem is for some reason it didn't clone by Favorites...oh well, no big loss and perhaps maybe it was because I was using Window 7. Anyway, good bang for the buck!

Ok, I will say more. I’ve always found Crucial to be an excellent choice in SSDs and computer memory, and these drives haven’t disappointed me at all. I know prices have risen maddeningly in this sector due to the proliferation of data centers, but if you’re going going to shell out money for memory, including SSDs, you’ll be hard pressed going wrong with Crucial.

I was given an old Lenovo all in one PC that had a mechanical hard drive. The machine has a nice screen with touch and it runs Windows 10 just fine for web surfing etc. The boot time was long though so I decided to upgrade the PC to an SSD. This was very easy and inexpensive using this drive and the difference in performance is amazing. Installation was very easy and it only took a short time to clone the old drive and get the system up and running again.

I have been a Computer Tech for about 25 years and I have used close to a thousand of the Crucial SSD's of different sizes including their M.2 stuff in the last 10 years. . You can't go wrong with these. They work great and I have had only 2 failures in the many hundreds I have used in the last 10 or so years. And they were both covered under the 5 year warranty Crucial puts on the MX500 series. They are a little hard to deal with on warranty returns but in the end they get it done. I highly recommend their products.
