  • Read/Write speeds have radically improved, from around 40Mb to typically 500Mb.
  • System startup has vastly improved, from around 2 minutes to just 7 seconds.
  • Whether it's MS Office or Adobe CS, apps open in moments.

  • It is a good quality SSD at a reasonable price, and it works as expected. I have not noticed any problems with it.

What customers say about "Features"
Crucial M550 128 GB SATA 2.5 Solid State Drive
  • Ensure you back up all data before installation and create a USB boot disk. Setup is then really straightforward.
  • I advise that you download a fan controller and TRIM Enabler software to maximise the potential of the new drive and to keep fans running at a sensible (and quiet) speed.
  • Was very quick and easy to install and the performance is excellent.
  • Brilliant drive. Fits and works very well in a 15" Early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite.
  • Great capacity, at very good price, and almost top-speeds!
Crucial MX100 512 GB SATA 2.5 Inch Solid State Drive
  • Installation on my Dell XPS M1330 was straightforward.
  • Reliable, fast, and relatively cheap - partly down to the fact that since Crucial themselves manufacture the Micron NAND found in all their SSDs.
  • It is a simple aluminium case with a Crucial sticker on it. The drive is 7mm high, which ensures it will fit into just about any laptop, or PC with a suitable adaptor.
  • This really speeded up my old ASUS laptop so much that its as good as buying a completely new laptop.
  • The drive installation was simplicity itself and I was up and running in no time.
