Works as expected, (P3 Plus – 2TB SSD) 🥳
got 2TB SSD for 10K in offer. Speeds are same as advertised. Also, If momentum cache is enabled in crucial storage executive tool, the SSD speed is almost doubled (close to 9000 Mbps). Satisfied with the purchase. Just go for it, without a second thought.

Esta unidad de estado sólido te llega dentro de una pequeña caja de cartón con fotografías impresas. La unidad viene protegida dentro de un blíster de plástico, con el tornillo para fijarlo al puerto del ordenador. Incluye un breve folleto de instrucciones que se limita a unos enlaces a la página oficial.No es “Plug and Play”, una vez que lo instalas tienes que nombrar la unidad y darle formato para que el ordenador lo reconozca. Yo tuve un contratiempo al hacerlo, ya que a pesar de actualizar el driver en la página web de Crucial, no lograba que el ordenador lo reconociese. Contacté con el servicio técnico de la marca, a través de su web, y utilizando el chat, un técnico me ayudó a resolver mi problema. En un momento tenía ya la unidad de almacenamiento funcionando.Lo normal es que una vez que lo coloques el ordenador no lo reconozca. En ese caso deberás abrir la herramienta “administrador de discos”. Si no la encuentras con ese nombre puedes buscarla como “crear y formatear particiones del disco duro”. Con esta herramienta le das nombre a la unidad, la formateas y ya la tienes lista para almacenar información.Una vez que el ordenador reconoce el disco, el funcionamiento es muy bueno. Es lógico que funcione rápido porque es una unidad NMVe SSD PCIe de 4ª generación (más rápida que la Gen 3). Alcanza velocidades de lectura /escritura muy altas (hasta 5000 MB/s).Yo la estoy utilizando como unidad de almacenamiento. En esta unidad almaceno las fotografías y archivos pesados con los que trabajo, mientras que los programas los tengo en otra unidad NMVe (la misma del sistema operativo). De este modo consigo tener el disco dedicado a programas libre de archivos, haciendo que corran más rápido.A pesar de trabajar y guardar los archivos en otra unidad diferente, no noto la diferencia a cuando trabajaba con archivos en el mismo disco duro.Como conclusión, es una unidad NMVe SSD con muy buena relación calidad / precio, y un rendimiento excelente. Espero que funcione así durante mucho tiempo.

So far so good.
I was a little skeptical before purchasing. But it is easy to install. However the mounting screw did not fit in dell laptop, hence I used double tape to keep it in place. It is not a big issue. But the speed and performance are evident after switching from HDD to SSD. Worth it! It serves my purpose.

It was a hassle free upgrade to my desktop.
I wanted to replace some Power-X named brand SSD which failed within a year of hardly any actual use this was put in my Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro desktop , so replaced that with this and it worked just out of the box without any issues. Along with the upgrade of my SSD went for 16 GB DDR4 Crucial 2666 Mhz RAM as well, both are working good.This was a repeat trust in the brand since my 3 year back Crucial RAM and MX500 SSD upgrade was the best thing I did for my 3 year old i5 laptop which is still running without any single error at super speeds.I would say Crucial has become an excellent performance and value for money brand choice for me.

Does the job!
The SSD card does the job. It improves the performance of the laptop noticeably. I have used this to shift the OS from an existing HDD in my laptop. The boot up time has reduced significantly and the actions such as opening a word file or an Excel file or chrome etc have become faster.It comes with the mounting screw as well.If you go to the website, there is a link to download a free cloning software that can be used to clone data on to the card. While it works perfectly, the process of cloning takes hours.Once completed, you can remove the older drive without issue. I just cloned the c drive from hdd to sdd. Took about 2 hours to close about 100 gb data, but then I did not have to reinstall the software or worry about data loss.

Good speed
It’s my first ever SSD and I’m very impressed by the improved performance of my otherwise slow HDD laptop. My laptop is now faster and more reliable. The installation is also easy, you just need to look for the PCle nVMe slot on the motherboard and insert it in its place properly. Your PC might not detect it in the first go because it’ll be unformatted. I was able to install the OS on this by removing my old HDD, later you can add back your old drive for secondary usage.

Read and write speed
Original read speed is 3500mb/s and write speed is 1900mb/s after doing benchmark. Screw is included in the package. If you are looking for a 500gb nvme m.2 SSD, this SSD is better than WD Blue 500gb nvme SSD because WD’s write speed is 1200mb/s and this one’s is 1900/s, so go for it.

Massive speed difference
The media could not be loaded.
Superb product. I purchased P3 500GB and 8GB DDR4 crucial ram 3200 MHz. Massive difference in speed. My product- HP Pavillion 15bc406tx used to boot up very slow, around 3-4 minute. But now only 30 seconds. You can also see the speed mark by crystalDiskMark. Note – Every HP Pavillion laptop have additional SSD slot and 2 ram slots, so pavilion users need not worry about your old HDD. Btw I have also attached the photo of old HDD. I went to local repair shop, he took 3 hrs and 400 rupees to install SSD and HDD, copy windows and activate MS office 2019 by pirated key. Your all softwares and apps will be deleted therefore note them before upgrade. You need not to worry about antivirus, can you activate it again after the upgradation (you won’t have to purchase new key). Now BEAST MODE on in my pavilion 15. I have even tried opening 300+ tabs in chrome but the ram is so huge that probably I can never use all the 16 GB. Many people faced a problem that they don’t get the SSD screw, but in my case, there was no issue, screw was delivered with SSD.

I usualy buy Western Digital black nvme SN770 but this time I tryed this one from Crucial because the price was good. It perform well but not at the same speed that the one I usually get. I did not get it for a gaming computer so it is perfect for what the person do with her computer. 5 years warranty is quite good for this nvme ssd and the price was very good to. I recommand to get it but wait for a sale because the regular price is the same as the WD. Easy to install for anybody and the good part it come with a screw in case you don’t have any with your board or you lost it.

Excellent product.
The first thing I find was that this company made products which are not from China, rather the products are fron Made in Malaysia.Recently the company (Mexico as its Origination) signed an MoU with India govt to setup its production facility in India too. Soon we shall get Made in India tag rrom this company.Anyways, this is an old renowned company with trusted customers all over world.Samsung is little better for its DRAM feature. Leaving it aside, you can definitely opt for it.Just GO FOR IT !!!

Perfect 500gb M.2 at Best price…
Best in class M.2, I think 2999 is the lowest price history for this product, worth the money. 5 years limited warranty. However I got open seal package. Before installing I check and register the warranty. After recognized by crucial website, then I installed it.

Well this works as promised and is fast enough for casual gaming.
I have an HP Pavilion Ryzan 7 5800H laptop with 16 GB RAM and an RTX 3050 graphics card for perspective.The SSD is smooth and clocks at 45* C while playing PayDay2 at max settings and the read and write speeds also are not disappointing. In a constant temp of 45 and running PayDay2 in the background, it has a read speed of 1GB transfer test 2.7 G and a write of 3 G at a sequential 128kb single thread, the scores are the same for the 4Gb tests.I aimed to test the SSD performance in a gaming situation, which works surprisingly well.I recommend this product because it works well on my system and performs well on tests.EDIT: LATEST UPDATE AFTER 1 YEAR OF USE.So this is a one-year performance review of this product. All in all the claims were not far-fetched and even after one year of usage and gaming and other laptop/PC-related usage the reads and writes are still in the 3 and 3.5GB range and the health of the drive is also not bad and is still healthy enough it has not died on me even once and I can say the performance is reassuring to but.

Best VFM SSD. Doest h job very good for a Gen 3.0 drive
I was able to purchase this at the best price of that time. It is easy to install. It doesn’t come with heatsink. though I didnt see the temperatures rise above 51 C , I still installed a heat sink just to be sure that I dont overload it unknowgly.

It is pretty fast and good, but…
If you want a budget drive that is also good, this is the way. But a slight problem that I noticed is that it heats up kinda quickly. But it made my old laptop like 5 times faster!
