I have purchased a number of these drives in the last couple of years while upgrading laptops for myself and friends and they are seriously good. Speed difference between a standard hard drive and this SSD is amazing. The fact they come with a 5 year warranty suggests Crucial have faith in these drives and thus far I fully agree as I have never had an issue.

A small and thin drive that is perfect for anyone. Great value for money and extremely fast. You can easily remove the sticker on the front if you have it visible in your PC and want it to have a cleaner look. I did this, and underneath the sticker is just the same metallic grey as the rest of the SSD. A small and thin drive that is perfect for anyone. Great value for money and extremely fast.

I have only had the Crucial SSD installed for a couple of weeks, so haven't had time to test it, other than to say it appears to be well made (I'm an electronic engineer) and looks like a good quality product, especially having a 5 year Warranty. The price was competitive and overall was an excellent purchase. It arrived virtually the next working day after I paid the account and I was very impressed by the service from PbTech who were recommended to me by a close friend who is IT technical manager for a large TV production company.

Furthermore, companies with integrity usually ensure their products are good quality and measure up to the the customers expectations.
Excellent product, great price. Was easy to clone. Installed into mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Much faster startup and running. Excellent product, great price. Was easy to clone. Installed into mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Much faster startup and running.
I needed an ssd for external music storage. Transferring over 300Gb was no issue, as the sustained write speeds didn't dip due to heat like many cheap drives. On USB 3.0 the drive runs faster than I need, and editing hundreds of files at a time is a snap. I needed an ssd for external music storage.

Awesome. Speeded up up the laptop no end, cloning was easy Awesome. Speeded up up the laptop no end, cloning was easy
I bought a couple of these SSDs for our home laptops about a month ago. Really breathed some new life into them & boot times much faster. Overall the PCs feel much more responsive. Be aware that you will need a USB-to-SATA cable as well to perform the disk backup - I used a Unitek C-U3SATA USB 3.0 to SATA2 Adapter. The included Acronis backup software was well documented & fairly easy to use. Initially the Acronis software did not recognise the attached SSD in both cases, but a good shove on the SATA connector solved that issue. Ease of installation varied - install in a Toshiba Satellite i5 laptop was very easy but install in a HP Pavilion...view more I bought a couple of these SSDs for our home laptops about a month ago.

great value and easy to install. Using it as a second (internal) drive to record multitrack audio and is stonkin. Noticable improvement, even with simply loading a session. great value and easy to install. Using it as a second (internal) drive to record multitrack audio and is stonkin.

Great SSD drive and good pricing per GB.
Upgrade for 12yo son's laptop from SATA3 rotating drive and he is over the moon with the performance upgrade in the three weeks he has been using it..
Had 12yo do most of the upgrade himself with no issues .
Performance is in line with everything we had read about this drive.
Pros:
* Comes with access to Acronis True Image software (love this product)
* Comes with 2mm spacer
Cons:
* Documentation around accessing True Image software could have been clearer.

This hard drive went into my daughter school laptop due to the one that came with the laptop was small in size. This hard drive has been fantastic and no hassle getting it to run smoothly either. Its a great buy for its price too. This hard drive went into my daughter school laptop due to the one that came with the laptop was small in size.
