    5 out of 5 stars
    It's a pretty good drive.
    Would I recommend this SSD? Yes, I've had it for a little over a month now and I've had no issues. (I bought the 500 GB version and am only talking about the 500 GB version) I would recommend you also check if you want a different similarly priced SSD. (This entire review is talking about the 500 GB versions of each drive as of January 2021) For example: The ADATA SU760 $52.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDW86SQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I included a picture of the performance of my brother's drive that he has been using for many months now) The ADATA SU800 $54.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K8A29CS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I don't know anyone who has one, so I can't say how good it is from experience, but the overall star rating is pretty good) The Samsung 860 EVO $54.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0781Z7Y3S/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_voubGb4T4G14K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (It's a Samsung drive so it will usually be high quality but it's not always in stock) *If the links don't work I'm not fixing them, just search the name of the drive. Why I bought it (please skip if you do not care): I have a laptop that had a hard drive. The hard drive would blue screen like once a month for a few months before it decided to completely brick itself. It would blue screen about 1 minute after booting. It would still let me boot into safe mode without blue screening but I couldn't use wifi so there was no point. I could no longer write to the drive. I have a HP laptop and since they come with HP hardware diagnostic tools, I was able to determine that the problem was the drive and not something else. I bought this drive just because it was the first one I saw that would arrive the next day. My laptop broke on Friday and I was able to get it working before school on Monday. Instillation (Drive and Windows): Installing the drive was very easy for me because I have a good amount of computer knowledge. This drive and my old hard drive are exactly the same size so all I had to do was remove my old drive. Then I took the vibration cover off the hard drive, this cover also held the drive in place. I put the cover on my SSD and slid it into the drive area. It fit tightly in there just like my old hard drive. After that, I turned on my computer and went to the bios to make sure it would boot off of a usb. I plugged in my window install usb and the computer was able to boot into the windows install manager. I was able to painlessly install and boot into windows 10. My old windows used secure boot but the new windows used legacy boot so I did have to change that in to bios to be able to boot. Since I have an HP laptop my virtual windows license automatically transferred to the fresh install of windows. Performance: I have uploaded 2 pictures of this drive's performance. The performance is as advertised and the differences could be do to a lot of different things. In day to day tasks it is a lot faster and smoother then my old hard drive with 16 gb of optane. Windows boot time is significantly faster. Downloading, transferring, and unzipping files is a lot faster. Being able to use my computer while windows is updating in the background is also nice. For gaming, don't expect a significant improvement in most games. Maybe your load times will be a bit faster but most games just don't really rely on your drive. Overall: This drive has not given me any issues over the month that I have owned it. I highly recommend buying it.

      The Crucial MX500 1TB SSD is an absolute game-changer for my system! I installed it as an upgrade, and the difference in performance is night and day. Boot times are now nearly instantaneous, applications load in a flash, and file transfers are incredibly quick, thanks to its impressive 560MB/s read speeds.

      What I appreciate most is the reliability and durability of this drive. It uses 3D NAND technology, which ensures excellent performance over time. The installation was straightforward, and Crucial's included software made cloning my old drive a breeze.

      Whether you're upgrading an older system or building a new one, this SSD provides incredible value for the price. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to significantly boost their computer’s speed and overall performance. Highly recommended!

      Would I recommend this SSD? Yes, I've had it for a little over a month now and I've had no issues. (I bought the 500 GB version and am only talking about the 500 GB version)
      I would recommend you also check if you want a different similarly priced SSD. (This entire review is talking about the 500 GB versions of each drive as of January 2021)
      For example:
      The ADATA SU760 $52.99
      https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDW86SQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1 (I included a picture of the performance of my brother's drive that he has been using for many months now)

      The ADATA SU800 $54.99
      https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K8A29CS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2UXO5LPTDY3LN&psc=1
      (I don't know anyone who has one, so I can't say how good it is from experience, but the overall star rating is pretty good)

      The Samsung 860 EVO $54.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0781Z7Y3S/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_voubGb4T4G14K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (It's a Samsung drive so it will usually be high quality but it's not always in stock)
      *If the links don't work I'm not fixing them, just search the name of the drive.

      Why I bought it (please skip if you do not care):
      I have a laptop that had a hard drive. The hard drive would blue screen like once a month for a few months before it decided to completely brick itself. It would blue screen about 1 minute after booting. It would still let me boot into safe mode without blue screening but I couldn't use wifi so there was no point. I could no longer write to the drive. I have a HP laptop and since they come with HP hardware diagnostic tools, I was able to determine that the problem was the drive and not something else.

      I recently bought the Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD, up to 560MB/s - CT250MX500SSD1 for a client, and I'm very impressed with it. It's a fast, reliable, and affordable SSD that is perfect for everyday computing.

      The SSD is 250GB, which is enough space for my client's operating system, applications, and some of their favorite games. It's also 3D NAND, which means it's much faster than traditional SSDs.

      I installed the SSD myself, and it was very easy to do. The SSD comes with a mounting bracket and all the necessary cables.

      The SSD has been working great since I installed it. My client's computer boots up much faster, and applications launch much quicker. They're very happy with the performance of the SSD.

      Overall, I'm very happy with the Crucial MX500 250GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD. It's a great value for the price, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable SSD."

      Stable and reliable: The SSD has been working great since I installed it. I haven't had any problems with it at all.
      Long lifespan: The SSD has a lifespan of up to 1.8 million hours, which means it should last for many years.

      I had an old Dell laptop XPs15Z, which had HDD with bad sectors over the years. The laptop was deadslow and programs will never load. My nephew suggested to change to SSD and upgrade RAM to 16GB, which I purchased and this Crucial SDD gave me 100% relief from my trouble. Now improved from 8GB to 16GB with my new Crucial SSD, my laptop is superfast now. I am really satisfied and will recommend this to every one who do not want to buy a new laptop spending heavy

      5.0 out of 5 stars Betrouwbare en razendsnelle upgrade – de Crucial MX500 is een winnaar!

      De Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA SSD heeft mijn computer een enorme boost gegeven, en het is zonder twijfel een van de beste upgrades die ik heb gedaan. Vanaf het moment dat ik hem installeerde, merkte ik direct een flinke verbetering in snelheid en algehele prestaties.

      De lees- en schrijfsnelheden van deze SSD zijn indrukwekkend. Dankzij de SATA III-interface en 3D NAND-technologie start mijn besturingssysteem nu binnen enkele seconden op, en ook zware applicaties en bestanden laden veel sneller dan op mijn oude harde schijf. Het verschil is vooral merkbaar bij het multitasken en bij het openen van grotere bestanden zoals video's en grafische projecten. Voor dagelijks gebruik, zoals surfen op het internet, tekstverwerking of het afspelen van media, is de snelheid van de MX500 perfect en voelt alles soepel en responsief aan.

      Wat de betrouwbaarheid betreft, stelt de MX500 zeker niet teleur. Crucial staat bekend om zijn hoogwaardige producten, en met de ingebouwde integriteitscontroles en databeschermingsfuncties biedt deze SSD gemoedsrust. De AES 256-bit hardware-encryptie is een geweldige toevoeging voor extra veiligheid, vooral voor wie belangrijke of gevoelige gegevens op de schijf bewaart.

      De installatie was ook bijzonder eenvoudig. De MX500 is een 2,5-inch schijf, dus het past in de meeste laptops en desktops zonder problemen. Met de handige kloningssoftware van Crucial kon ik eenvoudig mijn oude harde schijf overzetten naar de SSD, waardoor ik direct kon doorgaan met werken zonder een volledige herinstallatie van mijn besturingssysteem. Dit maakt het een uitstekende keuze voor zowel beginners als ervaren gebruikers die hun systeem willen upgraden.

      Met 500GB opslagruimte biedt de MX500 voldoende capaciteit voor een gemiddelde gebruiker. Het is een geweldige keuze voor wie zijn besturingssysteem en belangrijkste programma's wil opslaan, samen met veel ruimte voor persoonlijke bestanden zoals foto's, video's en documenten.

      Pluspunten:

      Razendsnelle lees- en schrijfsnelheden
      Betrouwbare 3D NAND-technologie met AES 256-bit encryptie
      Eenvoudige installatie en kloningssoftware
      Goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding voor 500GB opslagcapaciteit
      Stabiele prestaties, zelfs bij intensief gebruik
      Kortom, de Crucial MX500 is een perfecte keuze voor iedereen die zijn laptop of desktop een flinke prestatieboost wil geven. Met zijn uitstekende snelheid, betrouwbaarheid en gebruiksgemak is dit een SSD die echt waar voor zijn geld biedt. Een aanrader voor wie serieus aan de slag wil met het upgraden van zijn systeem!
