The SSD works great. Installing it was difficult because my HP Notebook model was hard to open. I had to bring to a comp repair shop for them to install with the purchase of a Second HDD Caddy. However, it gave me the opportunity to also purchase more RAM and now I have a great working Notebook.

Best upgrade
With my Mechanical HDD it took 2 mins to boot into windows 10. with this simple upgrade it takes 12sec. No kidding and Crucial made it easy with Acronis True Image included to clone the drive.From start to finish the upgrade took about an half hour. Thanks Crucial

Great improvement
I have a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro that was just not keeping up anymore. It would take five minutes or more for it to be fully functional after start up. I replaced the original HDD for the Crucial MX500; I wish I had done this before; It seems as if I have a totally different machine now. This upgrade will give a few more years before I definitely have to get a new one.

Additionally, I ran into some installation difficulties. The real-live, knowledgeable support technician walked me through the correct path to a successful install. Nice job all around.

Love It.
Boot time on my laptop went from 5 1/2 minutes with Windows 10 to 1 1/2 min. Everything is MUCH faster. I did have had a problem using the Acronis for Crucial drive software that they provide. Support immediately sent me a fix, which allowed the software to run HOWEVER I wasn't able to use it because of the my disk sector size wasn't compatible for the software to clone from. I again called support and they immediately guided me through an alternate way. This is one time that a call to a Customer Support group really was a pleasure and more importantly - FAST.

The simplest hardware install ever
Bought this product about a week ago It took about 45 minutes for the software to clone my old hard disk. After that, I replaced the old hard disk with this new one in less that 5 minutes. Everything worked flawlessly...almost as if I made no changes to my Windows-10 laptop at all. Really great experience.

I am buying the prodect over and over again
I bought one a few years back and I do not know if they are the fastest etc. For a I7 desktops and laptops I just add them to the system and it all works. Windows 10 uses storage spaces so you can so easily add a second SSD to the poll or a third. I use one SSD for the OS and then others for the data. I use others to make quick images of all my Boot C:\ Drive and back up data to my NAS. If you think yo umay be hacked one day, backup and make an image of your drives. Just unplug the encrypted ones and plug in your backups. Done. 20 min.

This drive is amazing in my old desktop PC.
I use my old desktop PC to surf the web, check into Facebook and LinkedIn, etc. This Windows 10 PC was shipped with Windows Vista. I've upgraded it with Windows 7 and then Windows 10. I added some RAM but it didn't really improve its slow boot and load times. This new SSD has transformed this PC into a very capable machine. It's just incredible the difference it has made. The Crucial step by step instructions and video made the installation very easy!!! I am very happy with the results.
