Crucial BX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s Solid State Drive - CT2000BX500SSD1

480gb SSD AT 104aed IS a good catch. if you are a HDD user its worth a try. installation is so easy than we thought. Get a sata to usb3 Adapter or cable along with this. steps to follow for easy installation. Download Macrium reflect Free home edition software and install it. Connect our new ssd to pc using sata to usb3 adapter. clone the old hdd data to ssd by clicking the clone button on macrium reflect. you can choose which partion to choose or avoid, but make sure that the C:\ where OS boot files are installed to be selected while cloning. Then just press next and wait for clone to finish. once the clone is done shut down pc and remove the old HDD, just check youtube with your PC model for removing HDD and remove the HDD case and fit it to the new ssd and connect it to the sata port/old hdd port and power on. Boom the SSD loads the boot sequence so fast that OS loads in 12-18 Sec. and the old HDD can be used as portable hdd BY USING SATA TO USB ADAPTER AND PLUG INTO usb PORT.

It makes a major difference in the laptop’s performance… it becomes super fast

If your device is having performance issues and you have SATA hard disk installed, this is the cheapest remedy for you. You will experience significant change in the performance.

Perfect

Got this for my old ps3 to revive it, very fast even though the ps3 doesn't utilize all of its speed.

I've been using it on my PC for over a year. Works fast and well !

Very good

Please note that read speeds are good. But this SSD suffers when you try to write heavy volumes since its DRAM less. if you try to copy lets say 5GB to this drive, it suffers very badly. For reading operations like booting the OS etc, this is enough.

Installed easily and works as expected. Not the fastest SSD, but better than the old mechanical HDD. Didn’t come with the spacer and indicated on the Crucial website install instructions, but wasn’t needed.

Ya tengo dos SSDs como esta en mis dos portátiles y funcionan de maravilla. Ahora mismo es probablemente la mejor SSD que se puede comprar en este rango de precio y el almacenaje disponible es suficiente para un uso normal. Llevo usando una diariamente durante los últimos cuatro meses y aún no he tenido problemas. No espero que dure muchos años (aunque habrá que verlo), pero esta memoria es perfecta para revitalizar ordenadores antiguos a un precio bajo.

Ho avuto modo di testare l'SSD Crucial BX500 480 GB per diverse settimane e devo dire che sono rimasta molto soddisfatta delle sue prestazioni. Innanzitutto, l'installazione è stata molto semplice e veloce. Bastava inserire l'SSD nel case del PC e seguire le istruzioni a schermo per configurarlo. Una volta installato, ho notato subito una differenza sostanziale nella velocità del mio PC. L'SSD ha una velocità di lettura sequenziale fino a 540 MB/s, il che si traduce in un avvio del sistema operativo e delle app molto più veloce rispetto a un disco rigido meccanico. Inoltre, l'SSD è molto più silenzioso e consuma meno energia rispetto a un disco rigido meccanico, il che è un vantaggio sia dal punto di vista del rumore che dal punto di vista dei consumi. Un altro aspetto positivo è la durata dell'SSD. Non ho mai riscontrato problemi di usura o di altro tipo durante l'utilizzo, il che dimostra che si tratta di un prodotto affidabile e di alta qualità. Inoltre, devo dire che l'SSD è stato molto facile da usare. Non ho dovuto fare alcuna configurazione complessa o installare software aggiuntivi, bastava inserirlo nel PC e il sistema operativo lo riconosceva subito. In sintesi, posso affermare con sicurezza che l'SSD Crucial BX500 480 GB è un'ottima scelta per chi cerca velocità e affidabilità a un prezzo ragionevole. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque stia cercando un'opzione di archiviazione rapida e affidabile per il proprio PC

Ik heb de 120GB versie van deze SSD besteld, om een oudere PC van een snelheidsboost te voorzien. Ik lees in sommige recensies dat de SSD traag zou zijn, maar dat is in mijn geval zeker niet zo. Als je in de bios of uefi de SATA controller netjes op AHCI mode instelt, en in Windows de intel RST (rapid storage technology) software voor je intel chipset installeert, dan gaat hij als de brandweer. Voor licht gebruik met alleen het OS met een klein aantal geïnstalleerde programma's is dit een prima SSD. Ik heb 7% aan unallocated space gereserveerd voor over provisioning, waardoor TRIM goed kan werken en daarmee de levensduur van de SSD wordt verlengd. Voor een budget upgrade is dit absoluut een prima SSD.

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.
