Review: Dependable performance from a brand you can trust. - Crucial have become my top choice for memory and storage solutions, and for good reason. First off, the performance of this SSD is nothing short of exceptional. With read speeds of up to 560MB/s, this SSD has breathed new life into both my PC and laptop. But what's truly remarkable is how it transformed my older, slower laptop into a lightning-fast machine. Replacing the hard drive with the MX500 was like giving it a turbo boost – it now boots up in seconds and runs applications with lightning speed. As a loyal fan of Crucial, I've come to trust their products for their quality and reliability. Both of my PCs and my laptop are now running on Crucial SSDs, and I've been consistently impressed with their performance and durability. The MX500 continues this trend, offering the perfect blend of speed, capacity, and reliability. But perhaps the most compelling aspect of the MX500 is its value proposition. For anyone with an older, slower laptop, upgrading to an SSD can make a world of difference. Not only does it significantly improve performance, but it also extends the lifespan of your device, saving you the hassle and expense of buying a new one. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD. It's a game-changer for anyone looking to breathe new life into their PC or laptop. Whether you're a gamer, a student, or a professional, upgrading to the MX500 is one of the best investments you can make for your device. Highly recommended!
Review: Saved my laptop from the recycling bin - Needed desperately to update or renew an ageing Toshiba C850 laptop that was to put it politely, slow to do anything, lagging, slow to react, webpages freezing, and boot time was turn on, make a cuppa, return to laptop..... I have a main desktop PC, but the laptop is handy to have around for browsing etc whilst watching the goggle box... the C850 was still with its factory hardware and a few months back did a fresh install of Win 8.1 which was a rollback from win10 (yes I did get the free win10 update but it was almost unusable). ... bearing in mind, this lappy is equipped with a 1.8mhz Celeron processor, 4Gb DDR3 Ram, and a Sata 2 5400 spin 500 GB HDD so it's never going to break any speed records. I decided to do a firmware upgrade, knowing the speeds gained from fitting SSDs as have done my own and a couple of other PCs to great advantage, usually buying Samsung drives but not wanting to go overboard on the price for this machine I went with the Crucial MX, and an 8GB stick of Crucial RAM just to finish things off. first things first,before purchasing I searched online for a video for my model lappy on how to get things apart (I have built several PCs, but apart from keyboard changes never played with laptops)... looked easy enough to install (it really was too) ....... So, I installed the Acronis clone software from Crucial, and connected the new drive via USB3 using the Ugreen USB - SATA cable (available on desertcart, can also do 3.5 drives too as has a power cable if required, but not needed for SSD)... note: the Crucial version of the software will not work unless you have a Crucial drive connected... it found the new drive, took a few minutes to set it up and successfully cloned my existing drive in about 30 minutes... Then following the afore mentioned instructions, I installed both the new RAM and drive to the machine, literally under 10 minutes later, battery back in and rebooting the machine.... boot time was greatly improved, as said before, not blisteringly fast due to other restrictions, but several minutes quicker than before, under 30 seconds for fully loaded.... no need for a new laptop, this old gal is perfectly usable for what I require now and programmes etc install a lot faster and have had none of my previous, freezing / lagging issues...... the only issue I had was that for some reason the sound device driver needed reinstalling, was on the drive but for some reason didn't work...a 1 min job I picked Crucial, because I have used their RAM in many applications before, with no issues, their Micron branded chips are used by other manufacturers (inc the WD blue 3D nand SSD) and they are priced quite reasonably.... possibly being one of the "best of the rest" after Samsung in the SSD market, obviously using the SATA 3 format, speed is restricted by the actual format itself, but some improvements can be made further by installing Crucials own SSD software, this has a function whereas the cache is used to speed things up even further, and allows you to monitor the health etc of the drive... One question remains though, and this one is for Toshiba, with the laptop having a SATA2 drive factory fitted, I was expecting speeds around the 250-280MB/s mark, as S2 tops out at 300 MB/s, so imagine my joy when testing immediately after install a test mark of 551MB/s read and 518 write... the motherboard is actually a SATA 3... so happy days.. here are the Seq Q32T1 speeds taken from crystaldiskmark, for the old HDD, the SSD and then the SSD using crucials Momentum Cache software HDD read 105.4 MB/s - write 99.12 MB/s SSD read 551.2 - write 518.4 MC read 1504.1 - write 1609.7 as you can see, speeds are greatly improved and the momentum cache software is pure witchcraft.... bottom line, with a little bit of knowledge, research and confidence you can breath new life into an ageing machine (Laptop or desktop) with great success for a lot less than a new machine, better still you can then just use your existing HDD as an external backup for photos / documents etc using the same cable you used to clone the original (wipe it first) The cable I used is desertcart item number 20627, this is ideal for using 3.5 HDDs as well as 2.5 and SSDs due to the power cable, they also sell a non powered version for around a tenner less which would be fine if only ever going to be used with SSDs

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come ready to install into a computer eg the SATA cable and pins for bracket?**
A: This comes as you see it in the photo, if you are swapping it with a laptop you don't need anything else. If you are going to install it in a desktop, you will need a mounting kit which comes with everything you need.

**Q: does this come with the adapter plate?**
A: I bought a bare drive, there was a plastic spacer item that did not need used in my Lenovo laptop PC. There was a small fol out leafet with a link to download cloning software. No adapter plate.

**Q: Crucial website says this comes with a 9.5mm adapter but other people on here say it doesnt. 

Does anybody know for certain ? thanks**
A: Most of the answers are wrong because they're confusing 9.5mm adapter with 3.5" adapter. And it doesn't help that the question incorrectly uses "adapter" when they mean "spacer". Because that's what they mean. Anyways:
1) Yes, the ones I bought all came with a small plastic spacer frame that you can fit against the underside to make this 7mm thick ssd fit more snug into 9.5mm thick bays.
2) No, they don't come with a 2.5 to 3.5" adapter as those are significant brackets that you buy separately. Now, some brackets come as kits that include an ssd. This isn't one of those, this is just an ssd. The vast majority of ssd are sold this way - i.e. just as ssd and not as part of a kit.

**Q: The technical info states that lithium ion batteries are required. I thought it used a spare power cable from the desktop power supply. What is the ac**
A: I replaced an existing SSD in my PC and it just uses a standard PC power supply cable. Easy to install and has worked well since I installed it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Install of an excellent product
*by S***N on 24 July 2020*

First off, I do recommend that anyone thinking about updating their laptop with an SSD - and particularly if they have a Dell Latitude E6230 – should definitely give it a go. I have upgraded from a 320 Gb mechanical drive to a 500 Gb SSD. The instructions that came with the drive were comprehensive and the free Acronis True Image software (which you down load) worked without a hitch. It needed one screwdriver (to remove three screws) and an SATA-to-USB cable. You can also use the “Inateck USB-to Dual SATA HDD with offline clone” (facility). The SATA-to-USB cable is probably the simplest solution. The SSD came with an additional tray to host the 2.5 inch SSD but I found I did not need it. The first step is to clone the existing hard drive in your laptop. The SSD is connected to your laptop via the SATA-to-USB cable. Having downloaded and installed the Acronis software and run up the software you take the option to CLONE the incumbent drive. This is really a matter to selecting the which drive you are cloning and which drive is the target drive. It’s mostly a question of taking the “automatic” options when prompted. It then gets cloning. Now this does taken some time – in my case over 90 minutes. Step 2 is to pop out the old drive and replace it with the SSD clone. You need to power down the laptop, remove the battery, discharge any electrical charge remaining in the laptop (by pressing the power button from 5 seconds) and then proceed to open the laptop up. In a few minutes I was pulling out the existing drive and replacing it with the SSD. The 320 Gb drive extracted with ease and the new SSD snapped into place just as smoothly. Step 3 is to reassembly your laptop and download some additional software. Having closed the laptop I reconnected the battery and the power and started it up. The “setting up” by Windows 10 took a few minutes the first time but the drive was already recognised and performing well. I then downloaded the “crucial storage” software (as recommended by Crucial) and installed it to make some final adjustments to enhance the performance of the drive. And I was done. The SSD has given me enhanced capacity and made a noticeable improvement in the performance of the laptop. Windows is up-n-running much more quickly as are the main applications. I should also note that since I had the laptop open to upgrade to an SSD I also upgraded the memory from 8 Gb to 16 Gb. The combination has breathed new life into an oldish laptop.
