Absolutly love this product. I even let my Mum know about this and shes bought one also. My PC is now faster than it was new. 100% statisfied!

Bought Crucial as I have used this before in different capacities to modify my own computers and those of several friends and by far prefer this with the software provided but prefer the advanced settings top the auto as that would close a 160 onto a 500 SSD and reduce the size likewise on auto but with manual the options are open. First one I installed was a 1 Tb as the windows 10 pro boot drive on one of the main system computers which uses 12 sata 3 connection to run 10 drives plus dual boot to MAC and a dual density DVD ./ Blue ray writer and the difference in start up time is like comparing night and day.. Every one I have installed has received a warn welcome and in most cases the comment hell its performing at last. If you have not got one - why not

Can't say nothing about simple well working device. It doe's it's job still could have slightly more space of 512 GB instead of strange 480 GB.
