        satisfied

        correct, as expected, fast and efficient are the key words for this product... it's small, so I was able to put it discreetly in the case.

        Fast and furious

        It's great to give an old computer a new lease of life with this SSD. I'm going to repeat the operation for my friends who are also struggling.

        Run away from Acronis

        Thank you to the LDLC team for their professionalism and responsiveness.
        I bought this SSD to replace a saturated SSD (under Win10).
        First I used Acronis for the clone to avoid reinstalling all the apps.
        Crash while copying. When I restarted, the SSD was no longer recognised as a crucial SSD, so the Acronis application for Crucial refused to launch.
        A new SSD was sent to me immediately and received within 1 working day: At LDLC it doesn't take long!
        With the new SSD, same problem with Acronis, problem avoided by using CloneZilla Live for the clone and Ubuntu Mate for partitioning and resizing Windows partitions.
        Installed in record time in just a few clicks, dual boot without the slightest hitch.

        Very good SSD

        This disk was installed in my PC solely to make recordings when game play was stolen. Previously, a normal 4TB would do the job. Changing to this Ssd changed the quality of the videos, being faster, I was able to increase the definition of the videos without any problems. By the way, the 4TB had a problem after a few months, but it was still under warranty, so I'd like to thank the Ldlc team for changing it for a new one. Ldlc are always at the top of their game and their after-sales service is always friendly.

        Top product and service

        Bought to replace an original HDD on a mac mini late 2012, on which another SSD was already mounted as the main drive, the Crucial MX500 caused no problems whatsoever. It has even become the main drive running Mac OS Sonoma thanks to Open Core Legacy.
        LDLC service is always top notch.
        Excellent order handling and tracking.
        The only downside was the UPS carrier, or rather the Sydney hub, where the parcel stayed for over 12 days due to a lack of space on the planes. All in all it took almost 3 weeks to get there: dispatched on 09/09 and delivered on 29/09. For express delivery!
        That's a change from Chronopost, where a Thursday order is delivered the following Monday or Tuesday.

        Totally satisfied!

        It's night and day! It's obvious that the reviews were a big factor in choosing this SSD.
        On an old Dell Latitude E4310, replacing a very old 750GB HDD, and with RAM at its maximum of 8GB, the speed was not long in coming! The silence of operation is soothing.
        Installing the latest Linux Mint 21.1 Vera edition, starting the desktop in just 3" when it used to take 15"!
        More and more people are switching to Linux, and asking me for advice, I didn't hesitate to recommend this SSD.
        In short, delivered in 3 days, bravo LDLC, as usual!

        Good material, easy to install (even for seniors like me 71 years old)

        This SSD was a replacement for a 10 year old HDD on a Packard Bell Easy Note LS13-HR-044-EN. I had no difficulty in mounting it in place of the old hard drive after saving the data. I took the opportunity to replace windows 7 with windows 8.1 after acquiring the corresponding license. I reinstalled all the programs (browser, free office, Adobe reader dc, thunderbird, speccy and the crucial storage executive software.
        Everything works!

        Satisfied with my new SSD

        I bought this SSD to replace a 60GB LDLC F6 PLUS model that was in my laptop and was running out of space.
        In addition to the increased capacity, I also gained in speed. I have just tested a read speed of 556 MB/s, very close to the advertised 560 MB/s.
        I can only hope that it will last a long time, but I have no reason to doubt it.

        Successful refurbishment of old PCs

        I bought this drive with an extra RAM strip in order to revive an 11 year old desktop PC. Successful challenge! The difference in performance is enormous, you can see it as soon as you start up. I realise that the old drive was a real drag on the rest of the system. Replacement and installation are relatively easy. Crucial also offers us solutions for "cloning" the disk, useful if you don't want to start from scratch. Great!

        In 5 minutes cloned finished.

        Used to replace an SSD in my 10 year old 128GB system that was still in excellent health, it took me less than 10 minutes to get my pc back to the exact state it was mounted in. I used Clonezilla, which in 3 minutes cloned my system perfectly with the space taken into account. No hitch. Small noticeable gain at startup and shutdown. Nothing to say, pack it and go!

        At the top

        Bought to resurrect a Windows 7 trapanel for one of my clients, he totally thought I had changed his PC. Acronis does the cloning without any hassle, a disk swap afterwards and here is a "new" PC! I can only recommend it. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a new PC, but I'm sure I will.

        Time-tested SSD

        I usually use this SSD to upgrade old laptops that need to get some fluidity back.
        I have to check what each laptop can accept, but it's still on standard SATA3.
        The quality is CRUCIAL and lasts for a long time.

        A good update for an "old" laptop

        To replace a mechanical disk in an Asus laptop (Core 2 duo). The machine is now back in shape and avoids ending up in the wardrobe. Difficult to judge the performance, but the gain is significant and saving :-)

        Ideal for replacing a mechanical system disc

        It has given a second life to an old PC where the forced migration to Windows 10 had made it hopelessly slow. It is now back in full swing.

        SSD installed on an Acer Nitro 515-51 core I5 in addition to a PCIe SSD, it works well compared to the WD Blue 1T0 HDD initially installed.
        Fetch the info in a faction of a second and the second advantage....a golden silence compared to 5200rpm.

        Ultra-fast delivery. Definitions on the LDLC and Crucial websites are perfectly clear. Helped troubleshoot a 2012 MacBook Pro that had become very slow. Replacing the old 500GB HDD with this SSD brought it up to the level of a recent MacBook Pro, for a reasonable cost.

        Good value for money SSD

        I chose this SSD for my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, replacing the old platter drive that made the machine slow.

        Since then, it has been given a new lease of life, all boosted with 8GB of RAM.

        The machine is now quieter and you can only hear the CPU fan.

        Just remember to activate the Trim function, which is disabled for non-Apple SSDs.

        Portable upgrade -> less than 10 sec at start-up

        As with any replacement of a conventional hard drive with its SSD equivalent, it gives a real facelift to a PC that was thought to be obsolete. The installation is simple and obvious. The replacement however requires a reinstallation of Microsoft Windows, impossible to do otherwise with an ASUS PC (same with other brands, the problem is rather Ms).
        So 5 stars, no worries for the installation, working at the top, the startup went from more than 5 minutes to less than 10 seconds!

        Does the job

        Product received quickly, installed immediately on a SATA port.
        Fast data transfer; no problems after 3 weeks of daily operation averaging 8 hours.

        Because of the Notices

        Because of the reviews and information about this product, I bought this Crucial I can say it is bluffing.
        After the easy removal of the hard drive on an 11 year old Vaio Care, I installed the Crucial without any trouble, and yes the difference to get to the Windows 10 desktop is incredible.
        The Vaio is two times faster to open and that's even with a Windows 10 update installation done at the same time as on my I7 processor PC.
        The Vaio's processor is much less demanding and no longer sluggish.
        The Vaio is getting a facelift and is making me postpone the purchase of a new laptop.
        So I'm going to install an M 2 Genie in my PC.

        Very problematic W10 OEM installation....

        The product is perfect, delivered quickly and as I expected.
        I would like to warn those who would like to clone the HDD with the Acronis software. In its free version, it does create the HDD clone but it is not bootable. The HDD is present in the BIOS but W10 is not recognized on it.... . With the software bought from EaseUS, same thing, 2 days spent to make a cloning of disk, no boot. possible. 30 euros down the drain....
        I'll have to do an installation from scratch from a bootable USB key of my system (a basic W10 won't work) and install all the software again.... le Bonheur....

        Top!

        Great value for money and fast delivery!
        Please do not forget the SATA cable and the 2.5"/3.5" adapter
