Another Great Crucial Product

Reviewed in Australia on 1 August 2020

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: StandardVerified Purchase

Covid 19 Australian Allowances allowed me to upgrade three of my Laptops.

Installed 2Tb MX on my main computer along with a 1Tb M.2 type MX SSD.
Battery life went from about 2 hours to over 6 hours.
I have ordered a HDD CD/DVD drive adapter as well for my main machine (17" HP Envy).

Put Two 1Tb in my Older HP Pavilion dv7 17" Laptop and this has at least doubled my battery life.

My Housemates 14" HP laptop got a 1TB MX and is flying and she has used it for over six hours on battery.

Startup times on all machines is average 30 seconds from a cold start and from hibernate or sleep mode is fantastic.

Don't be tempted to purchase the BX range, they are slower and have a lower Mean Time Before Failure.

My easy to install value is based on my experience (over 25 years in the industry), the DV7 has a easily removed access to the dual hard drive area, the other two required removing the bottom section of the laptops (over 20 screws on each), on the Envy I also had to remove the Motherboard to get to the M.2 slot.

I purchased a commercial package to copy the data from the original hard drives to the new SSD's as I found that the recommended software by Crucial (free) would only copy drives of the same size.

Also be aware that if you have upgraded your Windows System that your old recovery partitions are now defunct and should be removed to free up disk space.

Great SSD for 2011 iMac - Makes machine useful again

Reviewed in Australia on 14 August 2019

Capacity: 1TBStyle Name: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Exactly as expected
Mounted in mid 2011 iMac as second drive
After migrating all from HDD to SSD the iMac boots 10 times faster and using it is a pleasure again - HDD is now just on board storage

In this situation and depending on the connector chosen - be careful with cable connection to the drive - you may need to mount with more spacers - the connector to the drive is quite delicate and no force from cable bending should be placed onto connector

Great Value Mass Storage by Crucial

Reviewed in Australia on 27 October 2019

Capacity: 1TBStyle Name: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Crucial does SSDs at a reasonable price so I've been buying them for many PC builds now. Although I don't usually buy hardware from Amazon the price was attractive.

Upon arrival, the drive was detected and formatted with no issues.

Although I'm giving 5 stars, I wasn't happy with the packaging. For hardware at this price, it would be nice to see at least bubble wrap. However the retail packaging(box) is adequate I suppose. Maybe I'm just being pedantic, regardless, I still recommend it, great value mass storage to fit in any PC build!

I got this SSD for an upgrade to my existing system and after using the EVO 860's on my laptops I decided to try these Crucial SSD's for my desktop. After reading all the stats and watching heaps of videos I decide to give these a go based upon the fact that the stats are so close but the prices are not... I'm completely happy with my choice and would recommend them to any other user (y)

All good after 9 months

Reviewed in Australia on 3 December 2019

Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Have a 500GB unit in service continuously since Feb 2019. No problems at all. It arrived 4 days sooner than originally estimated. Installed in an old Asus A73E as the primary drive while keeping the original hard drive as secondary.

Perhaps due to dual booting with Linux I did not have any luck with Windows cloning software. Ended up reinstalling Windows 10 from scratch, which was OK since it activated with the original OEM license.

UPDATE: I just bought another one, a 1 TB unit, for a desktop PC to replace a HDD approaching 7 years in service. This one is all Linux (Mint 20) and I'm very pleased with the performance improvement.

An easy, fast upgrade

Reviewed in Australia on 26 March 2020

Capacity: 250GBStyle Name: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

The SSD arrived in very simple packaging with a basic pamphlet which points you online for instructions on prepping it for use.

I used it to upgrade my MacBook Pro 13” (late 2012) and it’s much much faster to start up and load applications. It really makes you realise upgrading old machines isn’t that necessary.

It’s also a fair bit lighter than a traditional 2.5” HDD. But isn’t noticeable in the overall weight of the computer.

Would recommend to anyone looking to breathe new life into an older machine.

Exactly what I ordered, came in retail packaging with a spacer to fit thicker 2.5” caddies. Wasn’t required for my PS4 as it was a straight swap into existing screw mountings. Works well for PS4 upgrades.

Great Value, easy setup.

The capacity is impressive for its tiny size. At this price it's easily the best value in SSD drives right now. Software to enable cloning of your current main drive would be appreciated. Luckily some free software is available on internet.

Why and Why not to chose Crucial MX500 SSD? [Compared with Samsung 860EVO]

Reviewed in India on 19 September 2019

Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

SSD is very different from HDD. It is important to understand the difference before buying.

HDD is like plain empty space where you keep filling data in FIFO manner.(First In First Out).
SSD on the other hand is like a "mini-computer" in itself. It is not just an empty space to fill. There is hundreds of operations that happens when writing and reading the data. There is a dedicated micro-computer/processor inside an SSD. It has it's own cache, it's own programming etc. So, it is like having a small computer within your computer that allocates space, manages read/write operations. You even have firmware upgrades to your SSD.

That is why just "Price/GB = Value" formula won't work on SSD.

Now, every company has their way of programming their product. There are various types of NAND modes in SSD like SLC, MLC, TLC, eMLC, QLC.. where SLC is most expensive but very durable and suitable for enterprise/business. QLC being cheapest but less durable.

I have both Samsung 860EVO and Crucial MX500. Below is my analysis:

When you compare it Samsung 860EVO, refer the images that I've attached. From the first test,(less memory written for less number of times] it seems Samsung is clear winner.. but hold on...
If you see the next set of images, where more memory is written more number of times, you'll see there is a significant drop in Samsung's performance. This is what I mentioned about internal programming of SSD. Where as you'll see Crucial MX500's speed is almost same in both cases. (Consistency).

Ofcourse, I've also attached HDD performance, clearly it'll show why you should upgrade to SSD from HDD.

So, my conclusion, --> Samsung SSD are suited for smaller amount memory which are written less frequently.
Crucial MX500 --> Suited for steady, long term, non spiking performance.
Even you can go for ADATA SSDs they are reliable but the cheaper ones will be little slower because of QLC type.

FINAL VERDICT:- For a difference of 1000+ Rupees, if you are a home user with normal gaming and storage stuffs, go for Crucial MX500 SSD. It is actually of high quality and serves the purpose very well.
I have been using both Samsung and Crucial and I didn't notice any practical difference when copying, reading, writing, gaming etc on both. They are identical in performance for human perception. Crucial is actually better in some aspects.

What to be aware of?
Package comes with a small square shaped extra metal. It was of no use to me.
The firmware on my SSD was already updated and latest.
You can download Crucial SSD software for authentication, future firmware upgrade etc.
You buy 500GB but only get 465GB usable. Well, this is the case with all memory devices and the 7% loss actually helps for random file operations.

For first time buyers, I hope this was helpful. :-)

Sent defective drive - with someone else's files on it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2018

Capacity: 2TBStyle Name: SSDVerified Purchase

DON"T CHOOSE 'FRUSTRATION FREE PACKAGING'...
I chose this, turns out you get the drive in an unsealed plastic case. Mine arrived with finger marks on the drive itself which made me a little suspicious. I installed the drive, formatted it and found I was getting ridiculous slow write speeds (0.7mb/s). Tried on a different cable / buss, same result. Just out of interest I ran a file recovery app to search for deleted files (I hadn't deleted any myself) ... after a few moments I was able to recover files from someone else!
So this drive is either customer return or... what? Second hand? Presumably it was returned because of the slow write speed. Anyway, no more frustration free packaging for me - I'll take frustration over a dodgy drive any day!

Méfiez-vous de ce vendeur! Il vend des produits d'occasion pour des produits neufs !
J'ai acheté un disque SSD. J'ai pu constaté à réception que l'étiquette de garantie constructeur n'était plus vierge.
Mais pire que cela, comme le montre les photos le vendeur a tenté de masquer la violation de l'étiquette de garantie en collant 2 à 3 étiquettes au dessus de l'étiquette constructeur.
En plus, le spacer qui doit être fourni dans la boite était absent.

Amazon... Amazon... Ma cosa stai diventando....

Reviewed in Italy on 17 February 2019

Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Acquistato in confezione apertura facile, appena arrivato ho subito fatto un video per l'unboxing, dove tutto sembrava ok... Poi l'ho messo da parte e prima di installarlo ho atteso alcuni giorni. Appena ho avuto un pomeriggio libero mi sono dedicato al backup/formattone e dopo un altro paio di giorni mi sono deciso ad installare la suite crucial e a controllare i dati SMART.
Per farla breve il disco era usato...
Mi affretto a fare anche qualche benchmark e cosa ancora peggiore, non ottengo numeri da crucial mx500...
Quindi penso "ho ricevuto un fake!" e mando alcune mail al supporto tecnico crucial (pessimo... Alcune risposte sembravano venire da analfabeti informatici)... Chiedo allora alla crucial community (us) e dopo un po' un tizio mi suggerisce di provare a fare il secure erase dalla suite crucial... Io il secure erase finora l'avevo pensato come una procedura per mettere al sicuro i dati quando si rivende o si regala un disco, comunque dato che il disco era usato mi sembra subito una buona idea... Lo effettuo però dalla chiavetta live di mint, per mia comodità.
Reinstallo win10, eseguo un benchmark, et voilà... Problema risolto e prestazioni come da aspettative.

Ora... È verissimo che in queste recensioni si debba dare un giudizio innanzi tutto sul prodotto, ma per colpa di Amazon io ho dovuto sbattermi non poco e mi sono anche preoccupato tantissimo di aver ricevuto un falso, tutto questo in un periodo in cui ho pochissimo tempo libero.
Oltretutto questa è la seconda volta che ricevo merce usata, su un centinaio di articoli, non su un migliaio... Giudicando la mia esperienza con questo prodotto una stella è quel che mi sento di dare.

Excelente rendimiento y precio por Gbyte

Reviewed in Spain on 27 July 2018

Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: SSDVerified Purchase

Aprovechando el Prime Day y la oferta que puso Amazon de este disco duro, lo compré a un precio más que aceptable (83 euros) en cuanto a la relación calidad precio era una oferta excelente. Ya tenía en mente comprar un SSD para acelerar mi equipo de unos 4 años y estuve barajando este disco duro Crucial y los de la otra marca con más opiniones favorables y más ventas, el SAMSUMG 850 EVO.

Samsung 850 EVO - Disco duro sólido (500 GB, Serial ATA III, 540 MB/s, 2.5"), negro

En cuanto a las comparaciónes de las características de ambos, que podemos encontrar en los "Benchmark" que existen por la web, vemos que tienen similares características y respuestas, por lo que cualquiera de estos dos SDD es una excelente opción para comprar, ya que en el momento de escribir estas líneas, están en Amazon al mismo precio. En el momento que bajen alguno de los dos (como ocurrió el día del Prime Day) ese sería, en mi opinión, el disco duro a elegir, si el precio es similar, quizás el Samsung es la mejor opción por los comentarios de los compradores, aunque esto último es relativo y es una apreciación personal.

En el caso del Crucial MX500 estas son:

- Incoporpora Micron ® 3D NAND.
- Soporta hasta SATA 6.0Gb/s (existen tres velocidades SATA I (1.5Gb/s), SATA II (3.0Gb/s) and SATA III (6.0Gb/s)).
- 560 MB/s de lectura secuencial y 510 MB/s escritura máxima.
- Garantía de 5 años por el fabricante (para España sólo 3).

En el caso del Samsung 850 esta son:

- Tecnología 3D V-NAND de Samsung.
- Interfaz SATA 6 Gb/s, compatible con el interfaz SATA 3 Gb/s & SATA 1,5 Gb/s.
- Hasta 540MB/s de lectura secuencial y 520MB/s de escritura
- Garantía de 5 años por el fabricante.

Otra opción es comprar el Crucial MX500 de 1Tb que tiene una relación precio/Gbyte excelente, pero era demasiado caro para mí, si el precio sigue rondando los 170 euros seguirá siendo una compra recomendable.

Experiencia de compra

En cuanto a mi experiencia de compra, puntualizo lo siguiente. En el momento de comprarlo existía dos opciones: paquete abre fácil o con caja original, un poco más caro. El paquete abre fácil consiste en que el disco duro te lo envían en dentro de un blíster de plástico con las instrucciones de uso y con un sobre de cartón, tal y como he mostrado en las fotografías. En mi opinión algo nefasto por que no protege el producto de golpes, al menos un sobre acolchado tendría que haberse incluido, por ser el producto del que se trata, aun así llegó en perfectas condiciones.

Lo primero que hice es comprobar las horas de uso del disco duro, dicha comprobación dio por resultado que era un disco duro completamente nuevo y sin usar.

Montaje

En mi caso monté el SSD como disco duro principal de mi portátil, sustituyendo el anterior por este y el normal lo he colocado en sustitución del grabador DVD del portátil, comprando para ello un adaptador.

Como el SSD ya venía formateado realicé la instalación desde cero de Windows 10 en él, decir que si tienes licencia original digital del sistema operativo, una vez que este se instala correctamente, esa licencia digital se actualiza y no se pierde. Teniendo de nuevo tu licencia completamente legal y activa.

Uso

Una vez montado y probado, el resultado es excepcional, se nota una enormidad el cambio de disco duro, el arranque es inmediato, la ejecución de aplicaciones, la instalación, etc., rejuvenece el ordenador en cuanto a velocidad de ejecución, es increíble lo que influye.

Es recomendable instalar la aplicación Crucial Storage Executive desde la página de Crucial, te da información de la salud del disco duro entre otras y además permite actualizar el firmware del propio disco duro de forma fácil y cómoda. Ojo, en mí caso utilizando el actualizador automático de la aplicación hizo que entrara el sistema operativo en bucle, al estropear el sector de arranque, error reconocido por ellos, solución en mi caso: volver a instalar Windows 10 de nuevo. Por lo tanto para evitar problemas actualizar el firmware desde el propio fichero del firmware descargado, no desde la opción automática del Crucial Storage Executive.

Resumen final.

Cosas que me ha gustado

- Disco duro excelente al precio que lo compré, aun al precio actual lo sigue siendo, se nota una barbaridad el rendimiento del portátil con el instalado.
- Al ser una memoria, no tiene ruido.
- Al precio idéntico tanto el de Samsung como el Crucial es una excelente opción de compra.
- Soporte en la web del fabricante tanto en software como en actualizaciones de firmware.

Cosas que no me han gustado

- El envío con escasa protección, aunque el producto sea nuevo sin usar, al menos un sobre acolchado sería lo ideal.

Recomendable sin dudar por la relación calidad precio que tiene y por el rendimiento excelente. En la semana que llevo de uso, es el día y la noche en cuanto a velocidad de ejecución y de arranque con respecto al disco duro normal que tenía.

Espero que esta opinión sea de utilidad.

Edición después de un mes de uso.

No he tenido ningún problema con el por ahora, ni pérdida de sistema operativo, ni sectores defectuosos ni nada por el estilo. Creo que los principales problemas que se presentan es al realizar la clonación, así que si es posible realizad una instalación desde cero del Windows 10.

Edición 28/11/2018.

El rendimiento sigue siendo el mismo, la temperatura sigue siendo baja y ninguna perdida de datos y sectores defectuoso, usado como disco principal con sistema operativo, encantado con el SSD.

Edición 01/08/2020

Casi dos años después el disco duro sigue funcionando perfectamente no se ha degradado en absoluto, mi uso principal ofimática general, algunas descargas, etc nada de juegos, pero lo recomiendo, ha salido realmente bueno.
