Excellent. Fast, It has the stated amount of space ie 465gb usable space. Great for me as I cloned old 500gb HDD meaning no re-install of windows.
I have found it perfect for speeding up older pc's.
This is the 7th one I have purchased from pb tech. My oldest ssd is 2 years old and is doing fine.

I didn't think much of the EaseUS software the crucial box suggested for cloning disks.
So instead I found a free cloning solution: pmagic_2013-08-01 iso 336mb from internet archive. Burn to bootable usb stick - Add new SSD disk into the machine on a spare sata slot.

Boot the usb stick and use the Clonezilla tool inside parted magic to copy the old disk to SSD. Secure boot needs to be off- so this route is not for everyone.

No need to Uninstall games to make space for something else. This works as it should and is fast, it's all the storage you need. Great product No need to Uninstall games to make space for something else. This works as it should and is fast, it's all the storage you need. Great product

Very fast and cheap. Very fast and cheap.

This SSD had very good speed for a very good price. Connection ports were easy to find for motherboard and also had no problem installing it into my new PC build. Also packaging that it came in was very sturdy and product was in good condition as it should be when I unpacked it. Other then have had no problems so far since owning this SSD drive.

My 2011 vintage Acer laptop is now running much faster thanks to this SSD. It arrived much faster than expected. My 2011 vintage Acer laptop is now running much faster thanks to this SSD. It arrived much faster than expected.

Anyone still on a HDD as a daily driver, totally recommend you switching to something like this for your OS. Anyone still on a HDD as a daily driver, totally recommend you switching to something like this for your OS.

This is the second Crucial SSD drive I have purchased in the last 3 years and have always found them well priced and good value for money. They usually come with a 3 Year limited warrantee, although some of the slightly higher priced ones come with a 5 Year Limited warrantee. I used to always buy Seagate SSD as they are well known but have found these work just as well. It was an unknown brand to me a few years ago, they are all plastic which makes them very light but still fit for purpose.

I would definitely recommend this product especially if the budget is limited.

Replaced an HDD in an old Mac Mini. Flawless performance as of a month in.
