Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT1000BX500SSD1, Solid State Drive

Excellent item! It far outperforms the original hard drive in my laptop workstation. It's a lot smaller too, so it's a good thing the workstation supports two internal drives. This 2 terabyte drive gives me enough space to do my video processing (meaning huge files) as long as remember to move files to permanent storage on a hard drive. How fast is it? On a transfer beteen this drive and an externas SSD drive I saw as high as 323 gigabytes per second. For ME? That's blazing fast! My computer starts up in seconds where it used to start up in minutes. Excellent buy!

This SSD made a massive difference compared to using a traditional HDD for game installations. Load times are much faster, and everything feels more responsive overall. I’m using it alongside an M.2 drive, and this BX500 works perfectly as a secondary drive for games and applications. Performance has been solid and consistent with no issues so far. Installation was very straightforward. My 14-year-old son installed it himself using the included instructions without any problems, which says a lot about how easy it is to set up. Great value, reliable brand, and a noticeable performance boost.

I refurbished and upgraded my son's laptop for his birthday. I pulled the old smallish harddrive and replaced it with this Crucial BX500 1TB drive. Now he has plenty of storage space. The drive, for its price, is well built and had no issues whatsoever since delivery and installation. Happy customer.

I recently purchased the Crucial BX500 4TB SSD and wanted to share my experience so far. Here’s a breakdown of its performance and features: Performance Although I’m not sure how to measure the exact read/write speeds, the drive has performed excellently in terms of loading times and file transfers for my needs. It feels fast enough to handle everything I do without any noticeable delays, whether it’s loading games or moving large video files. Installation and Setup The installation process was straightforward. The drive came with all the necessary cables. I did format the drive during setup, which was quick and easy, and everything has been running smoothly since. Reliability I’ve had no issues with reliability so far. The drive has worked perfectly, and I’ve received positive feedback from more tech-savvy friends who recommend the Crucial brand. I’m confident in its performance. Build Quality The physical build of the drive is solid. It fits neatly into my PC case, and I’ve noticed no overheating issues, even when I’m running games and streaming simultaneously. It stays cool under load, which is a big plus for me. Value for Money At the price point, the 4TB capacity is a fantastic deal. Compared to other brands, this drive is more affordable while still offering great performance and reliability. For anyone looking to expand their storage, this is an excellent choice. Overall Impression I highly recommend the Crucial BX500 4TB SSD for anyone looking to boost their storage capacity. Even if you don’t think you’ll need 4TB, Crucial offers other sizes that can fit a variety of needs. Whether you're a gamer, content creator, or just need more space, this drive offers great value for the price.

I've been a longtime fan of Crucial memory products, so trying this SSD out to give my old P920 some new life was a no-brainer. It's a fantastic SSD, with excellent capacity and performance., The executive software that allows you to tweak various performance characteristics of the drive is great - make sure to download it from the Crucial site when you have it installed. Regrettably, my enthusiasm does not extend to Crucial's recommendation of the Acronis software for cloning your boot drive. It simply did not work for me. I was moving a 5 TB drive to the 4 TB drive. Only 1.1 TB of the original hard drive was in use, so it should have been no problem. But the Acronis software couldn't handle it - it said there wasn't enough room on the 4 TB Crucial drive to store the 1.1 TB of stuff from my HD! What's worse is that it took about 4 hours for the Acronis software to decide it couldn't do what I wanted. I was able to use the free utility, DiskGenius, to clone the drive. It worked great, cloning all the partitions, including the rescue partition, adjusting them proportionally. If you have trouble with Acronis, give this a try.

Works for storing data where read speed is more important than write speed. Think movies or games. Pros: Decent price per GB. Good read speeds, up to 500 MB/s as advertised. Cons: Writes are slow for a solid state drive. Around 50 MB/s best case, one big file. I often average single digit MB/s if writing a lot of small files. Seems like a it should be faster, but I guess you get what you pay for. A tale of two drives: 1. Replaced a 5400rpm HDD in an old laptop. Boots up quickly, plenty responsive for a 3rd gen i7 machine. 2. Added it to a modern 12th gen i7 machine to hold VMs. I got suspicious when it took a while to copy the 80 GBs of VMs to the new drive. But, the VMs booted up and ran fine. One time it did freak out and stop responding until I restarted. This was during a lot of random writes from parallel file downloads and response times got into the 3000ms range before it just locked up. I don't try to run VMs from it anymore and I wouldn't use it as the boot drive on a modern system.

Best $100 upgrade I ever made! Fast quiet and cooler than old HDs

.. Upgraded both of my Optiplex Computers with these .. and they work great .. Their App makes it easy to copy from your Old Hard Drive to this one ...

Works well. Great value for money.

So I have been using a mechanical 2TB hard drive in my bench PC for backing up people's files and storing images for clients until I can restore them. It's been working OK, but a few weeks ago I had to back up files for a client and they had about 500GB of files and pictures and backups on their storage drive. I started doing the backup from a USB 3 dock, and it crawled. It was getting about 40MB/s and varying around that value up and down. Later I tested moving a large amount of data from my boot SSD using the same method and it was in the hundreds of MB/s. So I purchased this Crucial 2TB SSD (for $150) to replace the mechanical drive. (it's gone up $30) I work in a shop, and we sell a lot of SSDs. I have had the best luck with Crucial, Kingston (budget drives), Samsung and Western Digital. We purchased some ADATA 2.5" SSDs, but almost all of them went bad. ADATA replaced them with a different model, and one of those went bad as well (out of ten drives). We stopped purchasing that brand. Western Digital drives have been good too, but my personal 1TB Western Digital drive went bad. It will no longer get SSD speeds, but only transfers files at very slow speeds (slower than USB 2) even after reformatting. Crucial makes excellent drives, and I can rely on them. Highly recommended. I would not hesitate to purchase any of the drives I have mentioned other than maybe ADATA, but I am sure they will correct the problem they were having if they haven't already. I am using a 500GB ADATA NVMe drive in my gaming PC as my Windows drive. I've had it for about 3 or 4 years now and it's been very reliable.

Funziona perfettamente, è molto veloce e facile da installare. Il computer ora si avvia in pochi secondi. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliatissimo!

I have owned various PCs in the last 20 years or so and they all had old school mechanical HDDs, and to be honest I never really had many issues with them. All my PCs were either from before SSDs existed or were from when they were still quite expensive and generally came in smaller capacities (my current rig is around 6 or so years old). As I cannot afford to upgrade right now or ideally build my own, I decided to make some tweaks to my existing rig as it is still fairly decent for its age. I upgraded ram a couple of years ago (2x16gb sticks) and last week upgraded from the stock cooler to a much beefier Be Quiet cooler as the CPU was really getting hot under heavy load. While I was at it I thought it was time to finally go over to an SSD seeing as they now have much better capacity for not a lot of money. I decided to go for Crucial as I have always had good experience with them. My PC ram is Crucial and so is the M.2 SSD in my PS5. I felt this had the specs that suited me and as I say, price wise, it was pretty damn cheap. Sadly due to my board being slightly older and being a micro ATX I don't have an M.2 slot, so SATA was the only way to go. I did make one error though as I assumed it would come with a SATA cable, but of course we know what you do if you "assume" anything. It was a simple enough solution, order a cable from Amazon and just fit the drive a day later than planned (I only mention this as I am sure there are others as naive as me who will get caught out too). It was very simple to fit as well. Plugged the SATA cable into the drive and the motherboard and found a spare power plug coming from the power supply that fitted as well and then it was time to test things out. Booted the PC up and while it did take a while to boot (remember this is still booting to my old drive) which is quite normal when installing new parts, but booted as normal. I then opened Acronis True Image (go to the website on the SSD instructions and download the file) and followed the onscreen prompts to clone my old HDD to my new SSD. I had deleted all my music from the HDD before starting this as it took up over 400gb and I felt that would just slow the cloning process down. Even with another 400+ storage still on the drive, it only took about 2 hours to do a full copy. After it was finished I rebooted the PC, went into bios and assigned the SSD as my new boot drive. The PC then booted to Windows so much faster than it normally does and programs loads almost instantly rather than the delayed response of yore. Even web browsers and internet tabs load faster. I also noticed that after the PC logs into Windows I can access programs straight away rather than waiting for Windows to do all its stuff before being allowed to access anything. Seriously loving this piece of kit. The way it works is perfect for me, and is going to make using my PC so much of a better experience than it has been. Factor in the easy installation and the free no issues cloning software, and I think I got an absolute bargain at less than £40. Oh, and I kept the old HDD in the rig but formatted it to use just as storage for my music which I have already reinstalled. Only one program had an issue, with my copy of Photoshop saying the licence was not on it, but that was easily rectifiable, and every other program seems to have carried the licences over.

Esperemos que funcione y no vuelva a perder todos los datos en garatia, como el amterior.
