Linux: Plug n Play
Setup is easy. Basically a plug-n-play under Linux (Manjaro and Debian). Easy to use, although printing envelopes is somewhat of a "pain". Print quality is excellent. Value for the money: No complaints.

Last Review Was In Error
No way to reach you other than this.
A few moments ago, I submitted a review accidentally. It was intended for a Brother printer review. The title is "Plug n Play". I used the same nickname as used on this submission. Hopefully, you'll catch the review and Remove it without difficulty.
I wait a few days before posting my actual Crucial product review to avoid confusion.
Thanks.

Excellent Product
The drive is excellent, but cables were promoted with the purchase which I also purchased because I thought they were needed, which they were not. Fortunately the cables were very inexpensive and they just wound up in my spare parts bin.

Very good job of building a disk.
I bought this disk for myself and found out that it was too good for me as it had 80 TBW and after 8 months of using it I only have written 3.6 TBW. Great disk, I recommend buying it if you want to upgrade your old computer to the next level.

Perfect to upgrade older Mac Mini
I upgraded an older Mac Mini that had a 500GB HDD with this 240GB SSD, was a lengthy teardown on the Mac Mini but the performance afterwards was very worth it, was for my elderly mother who really did not require a new computer yet so this upgrade allows her to run Latest OS quickly.

AWESOME NEW DRIVE
I bought this to replace the disk drive in my old laptop. This was the first flash drive I've ever had and I can't believe how much faster my drive is not only on boot but opening up apps as well. This drive brought my old T510 back to life which is important because I can't afford a new one.

Revived my old Dell Latitude D630 Laptop
I purchased this inexpensive SSD to see if I could squeeze a few more years of use out of an old Dell Latitude D630 laptop that was being crushed by Windows 10. Hard drive activity was constant and boot up was 10 minutes. Loading applications or web browsers took minutes making the laptop virtually unusable. With this Crucial SSD the laptop now boots up in less than a minute and programs load in a few seconds. Awesome drive!

SSD is fast enough to boot up my PC.
Back in the day I used HDD, it took 1 to 2 minutes to boot up. This SSD saved my life by speeding up the boot up time to 15 to 30 secs. I also use Ubuntu on this device and it works pretty well. I am a nerd myself so I installed gsmartcontrol (similar to CrystalDiskInfo on Windows) to see device statistics and benchmarking. Sadly, this product does not have device statistics and Error logging unlike Crucial's MX SSD so I cannot tell if my drive is failing or not. I have been using this product for about a year and it still good.

Does not work on a Acer Aspire 5570Z
I was hoping to upgrade an Acer Aspire 5570Z laptop to an SSD. Crucial says this will work, but it didn't. The bios did not recognize the drive at all. Disappointing. I'm sure the drive is fine, but I purchased it on Crucial's word that it would work.
