The product is very good, fast, and my old laptop got a new life. But the clone process was very difficult. After lot of trial I had to go with fresh installation, luckily Microsoft stored by windows license in their database and after Windows 10 upgrade (using a flash drive) from PCs factory reset state (Windows 8.1) , my new Windows 10 got automatically activated. Computer runs super fast now even on Intel Celeron processor

Abhisek Sao –
I like Crucial products.This 2.5″ SATA III BX500 480GB cost me about ₹3.4k but I observed that it goes below ₹3k. If you get BX500 480GB at less than ₹3k then it becomes value for money product. Otherwise its cheap because its the OLD model SSD from Crucial. The latest model costs around ₹4k-₹5k the MX500 model. I only find a difference in total available storage around 50-60GB (most probably), total TBW (endurance) higher TBW in MX500 series than BX500 and the M.2 SATA III form factor.If you have a very old laptop with HDD and want to make that faster then must buy BX500 2.5″ SATA SSD.If you need SSD for frequent storage (i.e. data write) and don’t have a NVMe support then go for MX500 2.5″ form factor (in place of HDD) or M.2 SATA form factor (if M.2 SATA slot is available and also check for maximum size of supported drive).If you have an NVMe support and have ₹4k budget then go for Crucial P2 or P5 SSDs which is far superior than any SATA SSDs.Still confused? Read carefully.Have an HDD then don’t worry, it will support SATA SSDs.Have an M.2 slot then check if it’s SATA or NVMe, and then buy.

AJAI KUMAR S –
So my (2014 made) Asus laptop has a Intel Celeron 1007U @1.5Ghz, 2GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB HDD. It had Windows 7 by the time I bought it then I updated it to Windows 10. That’s where the problem started. Booting up took ~5 min, chrome took more than a minute to open and so on. Then I bought this one(250GB SSD) and copied the HDD data to it. Now I have a new laptop that can outperform some of the new ones sold today.First thing is everything is fast from booting up to apps and everything.Second the HDD took the strain off of RAM. With HDD just desktop alone took 1.7 GB of RAM. But now even apps don’t take that much.This machine is as fast as my work machine 10th Gen i5 2.5Gh 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD.How? Since OS and apps migrate to storage from RAM after booting up it translates to faster storage, faster everything.# # # Important thing to remember # # #If you are a person who copies GBs of data to and from SSD please buy MX series coz it has the have DRAM built in.DRAM is needed so that the SSD wares out evenly else you risk killing your SSD by uneven wear.Yes it is ₹700 more but coz of DRAM it comes with 5year warranty instead of 3.If you are normal user who just does some browsing office/ school work this(BX series) is more than enough.Super easy to install, and give you the most noticeable results.

I must thank all the reviewers for sharing their experiences and making me confident enough to give it a try .Though my system is only 2 years old, (win 10, i7, 8gb ram, 1 TB hdd) due to lot of applications installed system was responding very slow and lagging most of the time. So definitely I dint want to do a fresh installation as I dint want to install all those applications and OS again. Almost 90 % of my 1 TB harddisk was free. I was skeptical about the hard disk upgrade including cloning as I was going to do all of these for the first time, including to learn how to open the laptop etc. I did some googling and got some idea about it. Also came across a free cloning software AOMEI Backupper, which worked perfectly at the first instance.To my surprise it worked fine and now I have a super fast machine, without any need to reinstall any os/applications. Thank God.I would recommend you to go for it without a second thought.

I feel so happy that this tiny gadget helped me immensely to boost my old MacBook Pro mid 2012 performance nearly 10 times. If your laptop is slow then try upgrading RAM and install SSD. It will surely give another 2-3 years of lifr to your expensive machine.Coming to this SSD review. It is value for money. Very lightweight and super easy to install. Crucial is the trusted brand for RAM and Storage devices so no more rambling required from me. Go for it. 😅

I got this for Rs. 2508/- and it serves the purpose. I was able to boot windows under 10 seconds with a 10 year old PC.This too with an Intel Core2Duo E7500 over an Asus P5G41M-LX and 4GB RAM. This drive didn’t heat and was able to load Valorant on this PC pretty quick. I got the read write speed as 125 MB/s on the same drive, as I had no other interface available like USB 3.0 or so over SATA III.Of you’re looking for a boot drive, this can be it for a moder day PC in a tight budget.
Rajat sonaniya –
I was using SATA 5400 RPM HDD in my lenovo ideapad 130-15ikb and I was pretty frustrated (Always disk usage was 100% in task manager) due to speed what a mechanical driver offers, I’ve received it today an and I have installed windows in it (It has taken just 08-10 min and that is pretty surprising). Very good read and write speed, I was frustrated due to poor app launch speed in windows 11 in HDD now that problem seems to be solved with the SSD.One more difference what I have seen in my laptop, with HDD, it takes upto a minute to boot up but with this lightening fast SSD it takes a blink of eyes

My HP 15ay 542 tu laptop despite having a 12 MB RAM and an core i3 processor had started to hang showing 100 % disk usage, though there was more than 500 Gb space on the Disk. I replaced the Seagate 2.5 inch SATA 3 Hard Disk with the Crucial BX 500, reinstalled windows and viola, the laptop started to work like a charm. It now boots within seconds and feels like a new generation laptop. Guys dont change that old laptop. Install a SSD and you will not feel the need for a new laptop. No special cables or anything needed. Fits in the same slot and same cable as the old sata 3 disk.

I was about to buy WD but after reading few forums and blogs i felt the speeds were better on Crucial SSD. If you have a slow old laptop definitely buy this SSD it’ll make the booting time in seconds. Don’t forget to migrate the OS in the SSD. I would say it’s better to install new OS onto the SSD. If you have a laptop with CD-Drive buy a Caddy and put your old harddrive into it and install it in the CD-Drive Slot or buy HDD case and use it as a external hard drive.

I used this to replace my 500GB HDD on a 2014 Dell Inspiron 3521 laptop running Windows 10 and 8 GB RAM. The laptop was very slow to boot up OS and slow to launch apps etc. Booting up within seconds with the new SSD and apps are launched instantly.You can very well perform a DIY installation of hard disk and also clone the existing disk using Crucial’s True IMAGE software. This way you will retain the OS and apps etc from the old disk as is without going through the hassles of a fresh install.You will probably need a SATA to USB connector or an external hard disk enclosure for the initial cloning and then a philips screwdriver to open up the laptop and replace the HDD. Enough and more tutorials available on youtube to guide on the replacement process for every laptop model out there.Highly recommended to give a new lease of life to your old laptops.

I have a fairly old laptop, almost 5 years now so as expected, it took me around 8-10 mins for it to turn on and be ready for working. A friend suggested to swap the HDD and get an SSD.As I had no prior experience with SSD, I was reluctant but I had nothing to lose, so got one. My laptop now turns on and is ready to work in 7 seconds. I really am impressed by the impact 2500 Rs can have in saving me from buying a new laptop.

Himanshu –
Speeds are good, really makes ur computer os run like a horse instead of a tortoise. Also noticed that ram usage dips down and remain almost constant with ssd. So if u want to speed ur old computer, try ssd before ram upgradation. I used it with my 5 year old lenovo laptop and makes a huge diff. One super important tip though: backup ur important data before installing ssd.
Rstar –
Before installing this SSD my laptop (hp i3 processor 8gb ram 1gb Radeon graphics 500gb hdd) was running very slow and i had to wait for opening apps and web browsers. And trust me it was f****** slow and the booting speed was around 2-3 minutes and now after installing this SSD my laptop booting speed is now only 14 secs and all apps and browsers starting without taking any time.NOTE- YOU’LL ONLY GET THIS MUCH OF SPEED AFTER INSTALLING OS IN YOUR SSD NOT IN HDD AND DON’T CLONE OS START FRESH.

Using couple of MX500 in PC and laptops for some years now, without any performance issues. I needed a cheap alternative for MX500 to use with Android Tv for Kodi XBMC media player. Definitely do not want to go with less qualitys like zebronics, pny, consistent etc … Also do not want to spend on Samsung’s superior quality and price. So settled with BX500. Using with Adata 3.1 rugged case connected to TV. Never go with external ssd drives. Always choose good external sdd case like Orico or Adata and get a good internal ssd. P.S. Have worked with assembling more than 1000 computers and networks. Western Digital is the most hyped third quality memory products which is prone to failures and far less life.

This is my initial review of this product. I will do my long term review after few months.

It was more difficult to open the laptop back cover than installing the Crucial SSD disk in place of the regular SATA disk. The product is lightweight, and slotted in easily in the place of the SATA Drive. Performance wise, my laptop is better than when I had first bought it. Obviously the SSD makes a huge difference in the boot time.

Nothing special to talk about ssd, it works fine, a must purchase for any old computer/laptop.What i would recommend is to buy a new “sata to usb” cable/enclosures ONLY FROM OFFLINE”STORE NEAR YOU. Or atleast don’t but cheap sata enclosures online, i bought one and it curropted my old files on my old hdd. Now data recovery is gonna cost me a lot of money 🙁

I purchased this SSD for my Asus R558UQ laptop to replace HDD, as it’s HDD crashed and not recoverable.Pros:1. Easy to install.2. Very light weight compared to HDD.(I don’t know about other companies SSDs)3. Transfer speed is very fast.4. Power on time is below 15 seconds.5. Restart time is also less than 20 seconds.6. Apps opening time is very less compared to HDD.Cons:Too much time to settle down when shutdown (laptop processing and HDD lights won’t turn off for upto 2 to 4 mins after shutdown. The display went to black within 10 seconds after clicking shutdown option)Maybe because of the motherboard or with the laptop, I don’t know. But I have to wait atleast for 5 mins minimum to close the lid of the laptop after lights went off.Conclusion:Go for it, but before purchasing it for your laptop, check once for your laptop compatibility.

Bought this SSD during a sale and had purchased the installation services along with it. It was a bit difficult to get the time slot for installation and it was postponed a couple of times before the technician atrived. The technician was highly skilled and he took approximately 20 minutes to replace the SSD. It’s been over 3 months since I installed the SSD and the laptop is super responsive. The boot time is less than 10 seconds and the apps work seamless. Would recommend this product anyday.p

To start with crucial is a reputable ssd maker. And there after sales support, tools to migrate/clone c drive is easy to use. But it is always better to do a fresh windows install than cloning/migrating.This is a QLC ssd, which is in theory the slowest ssd type. But what crucial has done here is added SLC caching so it behaves like SLC ssd for small files (10-20% of total capacity). If you are looking for boot drive, drive that has games installed and you generally want a storage ssd this is one to buy. If you are a photographer, video editor or a person who has to copy/paste/work with large amount of files every day then go for a SLC/MLC ssd (these are very costly). For general use you can buy a QLC or TLC SSD, they are cheap as compared to SLC/MLC ssd

If you are having an HDD drive for storing windows files, this SSD will be wonderful upgrade for your machine.Previously computer used to take 4-5 minutes for bootup. Now it takes just 30 to 40 seconds maximum. By 40th seconds, I am able to start a chrome window and start browsing. That’s the speed which is offered by an SSD. Not only bootup, overall performance is boosted up so much.For cloning your files from HDD to SSD, Crucial website provides free Acronis software. You can alternatively use MiniTool which is quite faster than Acronis.You can attach your existing HDD drive in your optical drive slot using a caddy. This drive can be used for storing other files like music, pictures, videos which doesn’t require a SSD speed.

Worthy product for your old system which got slow with time. This will bring back life. Also keep an eye on RAM, upgrading that with an SSD upgrade will help your PC Handel a lot more than what it can now. A total of 8GB is sufficient for light task and web browsing. If requirements are greater, I suggest a combination of 8+8 RAM.

Good product but build quality is cheap its pvc plastic. Its improve my system speed far better (5X) from my old HDD but they should increase the speed as it is inserted as internal main drive on monther board’s main slot. Price different with NVME M.2 is only 300 RS but speed is 7 times lesser. SATA is 550 MBPS but NVME M.2 is 3500 MBPS.SATA should atleast 1000 MBPS.

The SSD is super cheap and the reason for this is it is a DRAM less SSD. This means it does not have any RAM to act as a caching layer. You can Google for “DRAM less SSD” to find out more. So this SSD won’t be as fast as a Samsung EVO series SSD but you get what you paid for.Now I am running this SSD as my main boot device for more than a year and it has been pretty solid. It is expected from a brand like Crucial. I have two SSD installed in my laptop one is this one and another one is WD Green SSD 128 GB. I don’t like spinning hard drives in my laptop.One thing you should keep in mind while purchasing is that buy more than 40% the capacity you actually need to store your data, this will help the SSD to collect garbage and run healthy for longer period of time. And DO NOT fill more than 70% of you SSD for the same reason as above.Overall this is great product in this “Budget SSD” segment. Both WD Green and Crucial are good, but comes down to you for brand preference. Always check which product gives more warranty.

I had a 12 year old laptop 4 GB Ram 500Gb HDD. Intel i3 3rd Gen laptop. Its Hard disk started throwing errors and the laptops speed became extremely slow. It took 30 mins to shutdown and 45+ mins for it to boot up. One day it never opened after showing the Starting windows logo. That’s when I knew my windows has been curropted, I installed windows again and it took 18 hours to install 😂. Even after installation it was very laggy and on almost every 2nd click the programs didn’t respond. Then I bought this SSD and installed it. I didn’t even took 8 minutes to install the windows. It waa super fast. I am loving it. Even with just 4GB ram and i3 3rd gen its really amazing. I do a lot of multi tasking and it never stops. Plus the file transfer is super fast compared to my old one. This is a SATA M2 SSD so don’t expect PCie NvMe speeds. But it will not disappoint you. Just go for it blindly

So i have ordered bx500 240gb variant on 4th of may and received it by 7th. First of all after opening the box, I got amazed. Since the ssd was very small then i expected. My PC is having sata2 ports rather than sata3 so the speed was not upto the mark. But switching from hdd to this ssd has made by pc way more fast.I am writing this review after using it over 145 hrs (normal usage).Manufactued in mexico.And all of the serial numbers, etc. Were found to be correct in (crystaldisk).Read-260 MB/s , Write-256MB/sThis SSD is worth buying. 👍👍👍

Don’t buy this. I placed the same order and stopped working within 2 months. I went to service centre and the information which they replied was shocking. They told as you placed this order online, the seller usually change the chip which is installed inside the SSD and replace with a local one and for this they rejected many warranty claims. They even don’t return the faulty product. I don’t have any 2nd option so I submitted this with a hope. Let’s see what happens service centre person asked me to wait for 7 days.

I bought my Crucial 240GB SSD on 16th October 2020 during the Great Indian Festival Sale. The price just before the sale was Rs 2,696/- but on sale, it had a lightning deal of 2,499/- and I got 10% Rs 250 additional discount for HDFC Card. In Short, I got the SSD for Rs 2249/-.This SSD is worth every penny. I have a Lenovo Ideapad 320-15IKB (Type 81BG, 81BT) with basic configuration ( i5 8th gen, 8GB ram and 1TB 5400 rpm HDD). After 2 years of use, the laptop became super slow, boot time was around two minutes and it used to get stuck very often (couldn’t open more than 4-5 tabs in chrome at one go). Tried every tweak youtube videos had to offer but there was no visible performance improvement. Somebody suggested to buy an SSD ( I didn’t wanted to spend much on it honestly ). After searching and reading comments I finally decided to go for this one. Below is my view of this product to help you decide to make an informed choice if you wish to get one:1. Boot time on my machine is less than 12 seconds2. MS office opens as soon as you click on a file (haven’t seen taking more than 3 seconds)3. Chrome is never stuck (can open 10-12 tabs, never tried more than that but pretty sure it can handle more)4. Significant time reduction in transferring a file from Pendrive, hard drive, phone5. 2.2k for a 240gb SSD is the best deal, can’t say about the coming times as technology improves but this is the best deal you can get for now6. Some people have written non-satisfactory reviews on this (and they have compared it with Samsung Evo, let me tell you, I am sure that is among the best SSD available, but it comes at double the price with maybe 20% extra performance, you can do the math to figure out which is a better option when it comes to value buy)7. Honest opinion: If you are someone looking for an SSD that offers decent performance (8-10x better than 5400rpm HDD), and don’t wanna spend too much on it then this is a product for you.8. And lastly, enable “Momentum Cache” by downloading Crucial Storage Executive which will enhance your speed upto 6GBps. (Picture 1 is without enabling Momentum Cache facility and Picture 2 is using Momentum Cache facility.)I hope this review helps you in making an informed decision on buying an SSD.Thank you.

Hi Friends,I don’t know why peoples are giving it 5 stars without using it for at least 1 week or a month.Please do not give any ratings without using the product.While writing this in India it’s about 02:43 AM and seriously I am frustrated from last 4 days with this SSD, even I reached to customer care they aren’t available for support at this time.Actually problem is that, I bought it before 6 days, and I was trying to install operating system like Ubuntu, but got error and tried Kali Linux got same error even tried Windows OS getting same error showing as can’t copy the installation files into your Drive.I thought problem is from my installation drive and tried with different different OS, but I amazed when I installed with same USB drive in another Computer without any error. And again I tried in my PC I am getting same issue.Requesting you guys, please don’t go for cheapest price go for best SSD. And read again second Paragraph.Once issue will sorted I will update here 👇Edit: None till nowYeah, that’s all Thanks for your precious time which you invested here. I’ve tried to give you the exact information which I faced.

This crucial SSD gave a new lease of life to my 7 year old lenovo G50-70 laptop.My original HD was 1TB but i replaced it with crucial 250gb.Before installation laptop boot was very slowBenefits:1. Faster boot2. All applications load much much faster3. My battery backup has improved. Earlier i was getting only 20 mins and i was considering replacing battery. Now i am getting over 1 hour easily. It covers my needs.4. Easy to install. I just saw youtube videos and just did it myself. I had asked a laptop repair guy who said it will cost 3.5-4k. So basically i saved money also. Thanks to youtube.5. I also installed the old 1TB HDD in a caddy by replacing CD rom, which was anyways not working and these days its obsolete. So basically now i have extra 1Tb storage also for storing any extra movies etc.It was the best decision i took. It works as good as a new laptop. If i hadnt tried replacing SSD then i would have spent much more on a new laptop.

Anand Soni –
I had recently installed it on my old All in One HP PC. The upgrade from HDD to SSD is substantial as HDD’s work a lot slower than SSD because of the moving parts in the disk for writing and reading. Till Now I haven’t received any issues from the drive other than it’s slow transfer speed as compared to my previous laptop with in-built SSD. I think the role of that speed is played by the slower processor on my PC so I’m not sure if this happens with you. It is very easy to install, light weight and cheaper than other SSD’s in the market. You can surely go for this.

For those that are still using HDD, this upgrade is absolutely worth it, especially to load your operating system and install software/games on.

For this I have reduced one star.

The IOPS on these SSDs is among the worst I’ve ever seen. My 60GB SSDs from 2009 were quicker than this.Endurance is average, and above what you normally get in this price class at 150TB. That’s probably the only reason to get it – it’s still miles quicker than a hard disk, only a tiny premium for a 500GB drive.I’m using this with a USB-SATA adapter on a router, and it has failed detection once, and it’s been a week. I expect it to get worse with time. Since the OCZ that was connected to it was up 24 x 7 for more than a year without any issues (and was working fine till I sold it), I expect the low price comes with its own set of compromises.

Everything is good.From packaging to performance.Best part I liked is the support Crucial provides in form of Acronis software to seemlesly clone current storage and use new SSD immediately.The bad part however is that if you are upgrading, in order to clone current drive, you will require a SATA to USB cable which is not included in the box.Since I already had this cable I faced no issue.

If you want to make your system some seconds faster then this is recommendable.I won’t recommend it for gaming but you can do some regular tasks, studying and programming.Definitely old games will perform better if you install in it but I can’t say about latest games.If you have a bad HDD then this will save your day.

Yes you should upgrade to a SSD.I don’t know why laptop manufacturers don’t give SSD’s under 30k laptop segment. If they atleast add a very budget level ssd it will be a great improvement in performance of such machines.I have seen lot of laptops with i3 processor and 4gb of ram and hdd loaded with windows 10 struggles to operate even normal tasks due slow hard disks.I upgraded my lenovo IdeaPad 330 (ryzen 2200u+4gb ram 1tb wd blue hdd) with crucial bx500 ssd.Now booting time is reduced from 1 minutes to about 13-15 seconds and also I can now open several apps without any lag. And apps are opening very fastly. (Before that when I was trying to open two or more apps it was showing not responding)So I suggest please use an ssd instead of an hdd.There is no use of adding ram to improve performance when you are using a hdd.

BX500- 480 GB is the best ssd with the price on offer, the main difference between MX500 vs BX500 is the dram MX500 has dram, Where BX500 doesn’t have one.The absence of dram in the ssd doesn’t make much difference in your daily computing, overall boot time is reduced.I am software engineer i write code and learn coding every now and then IDE’s like intellij, eclipse , load faster and smother switching between apps and content.Package is shipped with extra care, ssd received intact undamaged.Easy to install if you have laptop repair kit handy, basic instructions & installation procedures are mentioned in the official websiteI advise to back up import files on any external/auxiliary drives, keep your bootable flash drive loaded with OS you prefer and go for fresh installationAfter the entire setup, make sure to download Crutial storage executive tool so that the ssd will get latest firmware update and turn on momentum cache to unleash the full potential of ssdThis is my honest review…….

The upgrade process is very simple if you have basic idea about your laptop hardware specially the HDD removal.You would need to arrange a screwdriver, a USB to SATA cable or caddy if going for cloning. For fresh installation of OS you do not need anything except screwdriver.I would recommend to buy to external HDD case instead of USB to stata cable as earlier HDD can be kept in it and used as external storage later.Software for cloning is available for free.There is marked improvement in boot time and overall performance is better.Follow this with RAM upgrade if you run Ram intensive applications.

I have a 2011 M11X Alienware, which stated being very slow and hardly able to use. I have copied the current HDD image onto this SSD and replaced the HDD in the Alienware with this SSD, post that voila, the laptop boots up in 5 secs and the processing speed is amazing for any task. Any files, websites and applications open in a matter of seconds. This means the aged Alienware can now run for a little longer than it could have. This serves as a spare windows laptop for me, hence have not checked for gaming on this SSD, but I’m guessing on a latest hardware it would be more than capable of gaming.

Used in Lenovo g50-70 laptop and could clearly feel the speed after changing from HDD to SSD. But this was only for 40 days. After this Windows freezes often and disk usage is always at 100%. Read speed is still about 500MB/s, but write speed drastically reduced to about 10MB/s. It is now performing worse than HDD. Tried enabling over-provisioning, momentum cache, force garbage collection and all windows optimizations, but nothing worked. Now I have to go through the hassle of taking it to service center without any hope. Very disappointed with the product. All positive reviews seems to be only initial feelings. It is not a good product in the long run.Edit:I didn’t have to go to service center. I searched the web a lot and found this solution for the slowness issue. I found that this is a known SSD performance degradation after a lot of writes to it. When I checked the Total Bytes Written (TBW) with CrystalDiskInfo it was 1.3TB. This was within 40 days of purchase. There were a lot of writes happening as my RAM was low and the OS was writing a lot to the page file in SSD. First I increased my RAM to avoid this and to restore my SSD write performance to its original state I did something called ATA Secure Erase. After this, it was as fast as when it was new. I did it using a terminal in live boot of linuxmint which is a bit tricky. You can search the web on how to perform ATA Secure Erase.My general recommendations to avoid this issue:1. Leave about 10% of the space as unallocated. It is called over-provisioning which is used by the SSD controller for TRIM/garbage collection.2. Install Crucial Storage Executive and switch on momentum cache (if you have a power backup. A laptop will anyway have battery). You can search for more details about these online.3. Upgrade your RAM so that you won’t use page file much because of low memory.4. Instead of cloning the present HDD with OS, it is better to install OS freshly on SSD. I think the TRIM commands that are sent by the OS to the SSD might not have happened correctly because of the cloning. While installing OS freshly on SSD all the settings will be chosen correctly by the OS.All these are a hassle for a normal user and I don’t recommend the product overall. Some say Crucial MX500 model is good as it has a DRAM cache which is very useful. Rs. 1000 more for better life and performance of SSD is worth it.Another suggestion is to use a HDD caddy for second hard drive and write your media files to it, so that SSD is only used for OS and minimize the writes to SSD, thus prolonging its life. The endurance mentioned for this drive in their website is TBW of about 120TB.

Earlier i was not sure that will it improve my 5 years old acer aspire es-431 with intel petium quad core processor N3710, No second thought about the performance improvement!! Just go for any compatible ssd , I purchased Crucial BX500 240GB , after ten days of use, My verdict is that it will turn your lappy or desktop at least 4x fast (otherwise app opening speed has improved by almost 10 times in comparison to my old hdd as earlier i was using 5200 rpm hdd)Only thing is try to install it as primary drive (install windows on ssd only). Although you can clone it but fresh installation is better if you have all the backup. Very satisfied with speed improvement.Out of 240 gb Useable space is around 124 gb.Only thing which i didn’t like was the Packing, with the grace of God my SSD is working but the way it was packed it could have easily damaged. No bubble wrap no plastic wrapping at all, it could easily damaged in rain or pressure.Otherwise everything is fine!!

I installed this in my aging Dell Inspiron 3158 i3 8gb RAM laptop. The difference is mind blowing! I used the Crucial Acronis software to clone my existing HDD to this Crucial SDD and then installed this Crucial SDD into the laptop. Was up and running in about an hour, total. Boot up speed is insanely better than before. If I were to estimate it, it has come down from 10 mins to 20 seconds. I’m not exaggerating this, trust me. Using applications, switching between tablet and laptop modes is also buttery smooth now. My laptop was almost unusable but this upgrade to an SDD had ensured I can use my laptop easily for a few years more! 10000% recommended.

Packaging was not so great as the outer covering was a bit crumbled , may be due to transit or due to storage but it had mfg date of Nov 2021 so there was no issue of recieving a very old stock.The inner packaging was intact and good and after installing works fine.The price itself is not so varying from what you get in Nehru Place(Delhi) and also that you get it any place you want and with discounts and bank offers it becomes a better value offering.

Posting updated review after5 days usage.Product delivered one day b4 due date. Installation was very easy, did a fresh installation of windows 10 and activated it. My system config is –1. Intel core 2 quad Q94002. 4GB ddr2 ram3. Gigabyte G31M ES2L mobo4. 320GB WD Blue HDD And now 240GB SSD.5. 1GB AMD radeon graphicsOnly thing is that my system has Sata 2 interface which is causing bottleneck for ssd. But I don’t play games or do heavy tasks on my system so for me Sata2 is not a big deal. Till now didn’t enabled momentum cache so can’t say about that. I will do a speed test with and without momentum cache enabled and update my review again after some days of usage.Update on 13/8/20.Till now everything good but at first time I was little worried as the drive temps. reached apprx 66° during windows installation.So crucial storage executive displayed warning about drive heating. Later found out ssds usually gets hot on continuous usage so install it in a place with proper ventilation and air flow.Crucial website states if drive temps cross 70° then warrants gets void.Now my drive usually gets upto max 62° but then cools down to 55-56° avg temp remains around 58°.Regarding momentum cache I didnt notice any difference in daily usage but it works best with system with min 8GB RAM. As less data is written on ssd which increases ssd life.

Using with an external pi Box device via USB c cable. Works fine. Set up was easy with the usual disk management tool in windows 10 to initialise the device to get it recognises by the OS. I have set the Allocation unit size to 256 kb and formatted as exFAT file system. Got 960 GB of usable space out of which I left around 30GB as unallocated volume. Some say doing this on SSDs will increase the life of the SSD. All data transfer speeds are as advertised. I Checked using cristal disk mark app. So, happy with the product so far.

Hello Friends, I had bought this hard disk with 240 GB version 4 months ago. Initially it worked well and gave good speed.(Both read and write speeds are good). My windows 8.1 login page appeared in just 4 seconds after start. Everything was working great.But suddenly after four months, it stopped working, it was detecting but windows was unable to format drive.So I went to service center in Nanpura, Surat.Firstly, service center person hesitated to take as it was getting detected. But he tried formatting it did not work. So he registered and gave me receipt and told in 15 days it will be replaced.I did not receive any email or message for it. Even there is no website to track your replacement status.So everytime I had to go to service center to check. I visited two-three times but till now it is about 30 days and service center still did not receive replacement of hard disk. Just yesterday I visited and he told it will take 15 more days. (Means overall 45 days for replacement)Please consider other hard disks as crucial’s replacement service is not good.Update: 4th March 2021: I still have not received my hard disk replacement even after 2 months. I had to buy another hard disk for my work and this time I choose kingston. I will update again on next week.PLEASE NOTE: NEVER EVER EVER BUY CRYSTAL Hard disk,.. VERY VERY VERY BAD SERVICE.

I was about to buy WD but after reading few forums and blogs i felt the speeds were better on Crucial SSD. If you have a slow old laptop definitely buy this SSD it’ll make the booting time in seconds. Don’t forget to migrate the OS in the SSD. I would say it’s better to install new OS onto the SSD. If you have a laptop with CD-Drive buy a Caddy and put your old harddrive into it and install it in the CD-Drive Slot or buy HDD case and use it as a external hard drive.

I have attached screenshots of the CrystalDiskMark benchmarks. This is a review for the BX500 240GB variant. Have labelled the screenshots so that you can tell which one is from the enclosure and the laptop. The enclosure used was the Transparent Orico SATA to USB enclosure that supports UASP. Tested in the enclosure first just to be sure that the SSD was functioning before I put it in the laptop. I had doubts as the SSD box was bent and the SSD was curved as there wasn’t any protective packaging. Fortunately it was working fine.The laptop used to take a minute or more to boot with its Hard Drive. Now it boots up under 20 seconds. App launches are quick now. The overall system feels very snappy.One interesting thing to note in the benchmarks is how the write speed is much lower when tested with 16GB. The SSD has 13GB of SLC cache, so as soon as the cache is filled, it has to start copying data into the TLC storage, which is why the speed tanks. If your workflow often requires you to copy large files then you might wanna look elsewhere. Otherwise its fine.Overall, I am happy with its performance.

Super lightweight! Super easy to install! Great speed. All in all amazing product. Would recommend this to everyone!!!

if you’re looking for the speed just go for PCIE based SSD otherwise its okay for the HDD replacement 👍

This is universal SSD. Just remove your existing HDD and in place of it, just insert this one! Now your laptop is ready to rock!Mine was old Dell laptop with i3 processor, 2GB RAM and it was taking lots of time (1.25 min to boot up). After research, I decided to update SSD and not RAM. Now laptop is booting in 15 sec and laptops does it’s job satisfactorily.

This Crucial SSD is the best in its segment because of mainly 3 reasons :-1) Speed :- I was getting very fast speeds after installing this SSD in my laptop. Earlier, it almost took a minute to boot into Windows 11 and now it only takes less than 12 seconds to boot (including password). Now, every program opens in a click and I don’t get the usual Not Responding screen like I was getting in HDD.2) Durability(if you consider)3) Price:- I got this SSD for just 2500/- and it is bang for the buck. I will surely recommend everyone to upgrade to an SSD because it will make you laptop or PC faster than ever before.

If you need this SSD for frequent data transfer tasks like moving large amounts of files, recording high bitrate footage (lossless), or using this SSD for virtual machines, get a different SSD instead – since this one doesn’t have a DRAM cache. Write speeds tank down to about 10 MB/s and go as low as 7 MB/s after a while and the speeds stay that slow for the rest of that file transfer. Read speeds are still the same.Everything else is fine, good cheap SSD, and if all you want to do with this is to copy a few games over once and enjoy quick loading times – go for it.

I purchased this product due to the booting time of windows 10 in my 3rd generation Pentium G2030 system. It take 30-40 minutes to take windows to boot. And the application installations process is very slow because windows 10 is running in my HDD, and it is very slow. It takes lot of time. So for upgrading I need more money like I need to change my entire system like motherboard, processor so it will definitely cost me upto 15-20k for a budget gaming pc motherboard and processor like amd ryzen 3 or intel core i3. So I choose this SSD which save my system. Now it takes only 8 second for windows 10 booting and the application installations is very fast. It is very quick response. It is recommended to connect to SATA port with 6gb per second speed mine is 3gb per second, in my port I need only 8 second to boot so in 6gb per second port it is will definitely work in lighting speed than my 3gb per second port. I recommend this product. It is very helpful in gaming. It will load the game very fast than HDD. GTA V is loading very much fast in my pc

This is useful for those who have a traditional hard disk and are frustrated by its speed (or lack of it 😄).My HP pavilion 15 is 4 years old with 12GB RAM i5 and Windows 10. But the boot up time was around 2.5 minutes. Also I use Adobe softwares a lot (photoshop, Lightroom, premier Pro, After effect) and some of these softwares would take minutes to start. Now my laptop takes around 25 seconds to boot up (Yours could be less). Adobe Software’s load time reduced to seconds.Who should buy this SSD?1. For beginners, who just want to give their PC a boost with a low budget.2. For older PC’S AND LAPTOPS. It’s self explanatory. Older computers have older hardware and just by upgrading to high speed storage it’s not going to make much of a difference. So settle down for a cheaper one.3. If you are not a heavy user.If you have a budget then always go for SSD with DRAM like MX500 or Samsung EVO. There is no doubt that it would be considerably faster than these DRAM LESS SSD.Hope it was helpful

SSD works at high speed , most people buy CPU when desktop get slow.I purchased SSD 2 days back and using in old desktops bought in 2011. New CPU is required if CPU utilization is reaching more than 70% otherwise CPU do not need any upgrade. Intel is only able to add Bus speed from 1333Mhz to 3000Mhz which will only reduce few 1 nano sec.HDD used to work at 83MB/sec sequential reads where as SSD working at 284MB/sec with SATA 2 cable.After connecting to SATA 2 and Power, I boot the computer and cloned the HDD to SDD using free software Macrium Reflect. Videos available on YouTubeAfter clone SSD, switched the boot sequence in Bios (F10) from hard disk to SSD.Thats it. Do it yourself. Its easy SSD is must for any old desktop.Format the HDD after 2 or 3 days , once you are comfortable with SSD clone and all your software working fine. Keep HDD for storing big files for later use.

I researched a lot before buying it and came to the conclusion that if you want to buy a trustworthy and fastest SSD at a low price, there is no match to Crucial BX500. It’s the only brand in low budget that you can trust upon in terms of quality, performance and warranty-service. It’s very lightweight and sleek but it’s presence is significant in your system’s performance. Apart from its storage capability, it reduces your pc’s boot time and enhances the overall performance if you install your operating system in it.I have an 2007’s pentium dual core desktop pc with 2gb of ram and no sata-3 port. I installed this ssd in sata-2 port, but still my pc is so much faster than before. Earlier, when windows 10 was installed in my hard-disk, my pc used to hang a lot and couldn’t run the browser or anything. But now, even with half a speed from Sata-2 port, this ssd runs my pc like it’s new. There is no lag or delay in any process. Even the data transfer speed is consistent and better than that of a hard disk. Now, imagine installing it into Sata-3 port, your pc will be drastically fast. I recommend people with old pc’s to just go for an ssd and upgrade your ram a little instead of rebuilding your motherboard and cpu. An ssd alongwith 2gb-3gb of DDR2 ram will be enough for normal operations in Windows 10 64-bit pc. I’m just loving to use my 15 years old pc because of this ssd.Crucial-Micron is the only one that offers a reliable nand-3D SSD at this price point. I chose it over WD, Adata, Gigabyte, Kingston because WD is a lot expensive and other brands were a Rs.100-300 costlier or cheaper but not as reliable as Crucial. Its read and write speed is also better than its competitors in this price range.Upgrading to an SSD will be beneficial for any user, be it a gamer or someone who just want to speed up his pc.Overall, I am quite satisfied with the purchase. The quality and utility factor of this product in such a good price is amazing. Don’t think twice. Just go for it!

This one is fast to read and write. Light weight and can be connected to the USB port with either a pi-box attachment or a SATA box. Its longevity can be judged only after some period of use, but judging by the fact that I already is using a crucial SSD for more than two years with out any problem, I feel that this is value for money.

My laptop is about 7-8 years old. 6 gb ram, 2 gb graphics i5. But lately it had gotten so slow that it took about 5-7 minutes to start. Even if i wanted to open chrome, I needed to wait 2-3 minutes after clicking for it to start. Cloned my existing c drive to this ssd n replaced my old hdd n the results are amazing. The laptop is as good as new now, works like a charm

Crucial BX500 is a 2.5-inch SATA drive designed for budget-conscious customers, although it isn’t even close to being one of the best SSDs. It’s difficult to recommend when there are so many excellent things available for the same cost.The BX500 from Crucial is the replacement for the well-liked BX300 range of SSDs. Similar to the company’s popular MX500 brand, the BX500 eschews the 400-naming structure. The BX500 doesn’t provide much of an upgrade path over its predecessor, in contrast to the MX500.

I have a Mac Mini – 2014. It was a challenge to replace the HD for this as the procedure is very difficult. I finally found someone who does it for me and installed this SSD. It has literally given a new lease of life to my Mac Mini.Even the boot time used to be around 1+ mins. which currently has come down to less than 10 secs. All apps (MS Office suite) and browsers speed have gone very fast. Even the internet seems faster… (don’t think it is because of that 🙂 )Over all I have decided that any future system purchase will be with SSD ONLY.

I have purchased Crucial 240GB SSD twice. The first one I purchased in Aug 2020. I can surely say that the performance of my laptop just had a J-curve. My laptop became so fast that I don’t need to wait for anything.Let me just tell you, my uses. I work in Chrome (the most with more than 20 tabs at the same time), Adobe Photoshop (sometimes), Adobe Illustrator (sometimes), Spotify, MS Office and some small apps. While coming to gaming I was playing games initially but not now. I completed the below list of games after installing SSD:* Tomb Raider (2013) – Run flawlessly* Rise of Tomb Raider – Run smoothly in the low setting with 1080p, and high setting with 720p* Assassins Creed (I don’t remember the part, but definitely not the old one, the graphics were good and was able to play in high setting in 1080p)* Just Cause 3 (Worked well in Medium Settings)* 2 more games which I don’t remember the name of them.Well, the use of SSD in gaming is reducing the startup time game and smooth transition while playing the game. I guess this SSD does that very well. I also want to highlight a point; my laptop has an I5 8th gen processor with an AMD graphics card and 8GB ram. So, the performance also depends on the other factors too, not SSD alone.Important Note:The second SSD which I purchased now, I installed in my old laptop which is around 8 years old with a very outdated processor and 4GB ram. This laptop gets slow if I update Windows 10 to the latest version and the cursor just stucks while moving. After installing SSD also, I was unable to update Windows 10 latest version, I have to use the 2019 version of Windows 10 and have to disable the auto-updates. The smoothness improved, but again high-end software or games can’t be played. It’s not the SSD’s fault, it has other factors too.

I’m a software programmer and hobbyiest Video maker. This was indeed a very good upgrade for my old Laptop. I was planning to upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB as well; but the speed of this SSD could counter-balance the functional speed. I’m still planning to upgrade the RAM, but this SSD has served my purpose so far.Visual Studio .Net and Video Editing packages like Filmora is working really good with this SSD. The lag is very less and it’s only because of the lack of RAM, which I counter-act by not opening too many applications at once. The response speed of the SSD is good. I’ve not used SSDs from other companies so not sure how good it is compared with others. Just to mention, the Android Studio is still not as functional & smooth with this SSD.If you’re a gamer, this SSD may disappoint you. Also, if you’re a heavy Video Editor or Photographer, this SSD is not for you, although you will find the rendering speed reduced compared with HDD.This SSD is good for office purpose, software development purpose, casual Photoshop or Video editing purpose.
