This SSD model is defective by design, do not buy it, even after return/replacement you would have the same freezing problems.
It has now been several months that I have been using this SSD and I have not yet seen the number of reallocated cells increase, the performance seems in line with the specifications.... in short, a good surprise over time!
After a few months of use, the product is as described, including the storage capacity (just barely under the 500 GO mark).
Works perfectly since its installation on a somewhat older laptop that benefits from switching from an HDD to an SSD; its new startup speed is measurable.
This drive (like probably most Crucial drives) is catastrophic! I bought it two years ago, and currently, after only 15 minutes after startup, the drive’s write and read speed collapses to 250 KO/s!!!! To give you an idea, it lags when opening a PDF document or opening a web page!
A real rip-off, avoid.
