What customers say about "Key Specs"
Crucial BX500 SATA 2.5-inch 3D NAND Internal SSD
  • My laptop is now very fast with this SSD and I'm very happy.
  • Now applications like Word or Excel load in 2 seconds instead of 15. Booting and shutdown are also many times faster.
  • A great boost to loading speed and now the Read/Write job of my computer a lot faster.
  • A great general performance improvement with 480GB of fast data.
  • Significant being 400+MB/S down to about 28 BM/S - about the same speed as a cheap usb memory stick.
Crucial MX500 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD
  • This thing is a awesome. I highly recommend this product if you are needing a really fast loading external storage for your consoles.
  • I switched over to this Crucial 500gb SSD. Now everything works really fast and 500gb of space is pretty high.
  • This SSD takes about 20 seconds for boot. I was amazed. Microsoft Word took 40 seconds to open with the HDD. It opens in 6 seconds with the SSD.
  • Windows 10 starts immediately, login in a breeze and start to use applications without delay.
  • 500Gb will be plenty of space since I plan to link the large files for programs like Unity to my 3TB drive.

What customers say about "Features"
Crucial BX500 SATA 2.5-inch 3D NAND Internal SSD
  • Battery life of laptop with this drive now seems a better.
  • Extends the useful life of the laptop by a few years too, so well worth the small outlay versus buying a new laptop.
  • Battery life is way better, had no issues at all with this drive.
  • Added advantage is prolonged battery life as there is no motor chuffing around to drive a disc.
  • Unfortunately, the Acronis Crucial cloning software doesn’t recognise the drive.
Crucial MX500 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD
  • Laptop now runs perfectly and is so much more responsive than before. Its like I bought a brand new laptop.
  • It took about 4 hours to clone the SSD then I took out the HDD and replaced it with the SSD in my laptop. That was relatively easy too.
  • The disk form factor is exactly the same as the former 7mm Hard Disk and reinstalling is easy.
  • The software is astrious. Not a friendly user interface at all and it does not work properly.
  • After cloning I struggled to get system to recognize disk to boot.
