Now used a couple of these Crucial SSD's. Solid piece of kit and my go to SSD.

A very good upgrade which breathed life into an ageing Asus laptop!

Crucial Mx500 ssd's After lots of research and watching endless YouTube videos I invested in a 1TB mx500 ssd for the ps4 pro and it was a complete game changer for boot and load times. Since then I have added 3 of these to my desktop 1 for Windows drive and 2 as games drives and what a difference, superfast cold boot to windows and game level load times are massively faster. For a bit of fun I took my 11 year old gaming laptop (i5) which took 1.5 minutes to boot up and had various issues with load times and handling processes and added a 500gb mx 500 and upgraded the ram to 8gb and now a useless obsolete machine cold boots in 12 seconds and works great with daily tasks and runs older games like skyrim and xcom and dirt 4 at a great speed on high settings. These hard drives are great for console/modern pc and for breathing life back into old machines. Why buy anything else? I certainly won't be.

Fast drive for applications and operating system.

Great SSD drive at a very good price,and delivered very fast,and would buy from again

This product is well recommended, this 500gb ssd disk is brilliant and Windows recognised it instantly, Thank You.

Superb read and write speeds. Robust metal top case. Excellent packaging and delivery from CCL.

This was great value for money. I needed an ssd for win 11. what a vast difference. Always buy my computer equipment from CCl. Excellent

Drive crashed after one weeks use. Reinstalling Win-10 crashes on completion.

After fitting this hard drive it has never been as quick to load and run

Does just what I wanted

An SSD is the best upgrade to bring to an aging desktop. Crucial's SSD was value for money and fine for my SATA 2 computer.

Good value for money, arrived quickly and worked perfectly in my first gaming PC build.

Great product easy to install and set up, cant thank CCL enough

My computer is now miles faster

Dropping from a 1TB hard drive was a doubt, however, with the RAM upgrade as well, I now have a laptop that would have set me back 10 times the combo price. And, the diagnostic tool took away any doubts as to what to buy.

Ccl is great when it comes to building new rig.

great SSD great price good support A1 I can't fault them

Excellent SSD and good value for money. Very fast, writing and reading, supposed to be quite reliable too. It's already been on the market for long time and it's one of the best product in the class.

Great value SSD from a leading manufacturer of storage products.

I have used this brand in all the PC's and laptops that I have upgraded. I find these of very good quality and a fair price compared to other brands. Very easy to clone. Makes amazing difference in speed and keeps the laptop cool and the battery seems to last longer. BUY IT!!

Prompt and efficient service. Item works exactly as expected.

Does what it says on the box

I bought this as a long overdue upgrade for my aging notebook PC. CCL appeared to have the best deal on the day and in went my order. Delivery was fast and installation of the drive was straightforward. I partitioned the drive and installed Ubuntu Studio. Wow! this drive has completely transformed my PC. It boots in a few seconds and the applications are more responsive than ever. It feels like I have a new computer. So, if you are thinking of upgrading an old computer that still has a spinning hard disk but aren't sure I'd say go for it.

A top quality SSD at a very attractive price. An excellent upgrade for older PC's with standard SATA hard disk drives. Potentially the best value for money of any such upgrade so highly recommended.

Great product.

Nice bit of kit , sent quickly no fuss.

Excellent service rec'd in a couple of days

Very easy to install and great quality. My laptop was already quite fast but its even faster now, would certainly recommend.

had a 1tb hard drive in my laptop as standard but was very slow so looked in to ssd drives looked on you tube for performance wise and how to swap over looked on crucial webiste and did a scan and came back with this as a upgrade looked on ccl and they had the one and at a lower price and as ive used ccl a few times had no issue getting it from here ordered on line and got 4 days later could have had sooner if paid extra postage so simple to fit once you clone your haddrive its just a case of remove and plug in new one

Does the job that I wanted it for. I like Crucial reliability.

This is the best

got it and wow what a difference to my optiplex 3020 i3 my old 5400 hdd is now the backup drive

Good product. Only had it in the laptop a few weeks and things are working nicely

Bought this Crucial MX500 ssd drive to update the hard drive on my laptop, what a difference in speed. Used the recommended software that came with the ssd drive to transfer my old drive's information to the ssd drive it was very easy with no issues at all. Would highly recommend this Crucial SSD drive.

Bought to improve my 3 or so year old desk top, unbelievably fast compared to the 7.200 W.D. hard drive it replaced. Used the recommended Acronis software to copy my old drive (Very easy). It comes with a 5 year warranty, so Crucial must have great faith in their product. This is the third one I've bought over the last 15 months.

Due to the invisible invaders we're told to watch out for the prices of SSDs has been steadily rising on Amazon where as CCL have generally held firm. Hence buying them here and the faster delivery at the moment. Amazon don't consider MX500 SSDs essential, I do. I've used many different SSDs and they're all miles faster than hard drives. However the MX500s do seem to make a system very responsive. A clue is not in it's maximum speed but in it's 4k speed and it's IOs per second, 95,000 of them. OK so Optaine does 500,000 but there are other SSDs that do a lot less than 95,000. The other thing is these are in a metal case where as other SSDs are in flimsy plastic by comparison.

Very well constructed. Performs perfectly. The Crucial Management app one can download is very good, reveals all system details relating to SSD's that are installed. I like it Colin

These was the single best upgrade I have ever made to my pc. Took an aging pc and gave it a new burst of life. Installation instructions were detailed and relatively easy. Would definately recommend.

Performance is fine but installation a nightmare. Upgrading to Win 10 from XP didn't help.

Arrived early and works great.

Good drive and fair price. My macbook is super quick now compared to what it was!

I've installed on my old laptop and now it takes just 20 second to boot win 10. It's defenetly beyound my expectations. And also any other operation is really quick. High quality product.

I replaced the hard disk in my laptop with this Crucial SSD. Previously my laptop used to take 3 or 4 minutes to start up but now it takes about 40 seconds and programmes load more quickly when I am using the computer. I find that I am using the computer more often now because it is quicker. Copying my hard disk information to the SSD was very easy and relatively quick with the downloadable software recommended and the installation of the SSD was easy.

Easy to install with the video help

Quick delivery with email support, fabulous. Dead easy to fit! Crucial has a step. By step short guide to install on windows or Mac. Make sure you have the O X system for your Mac any think below EL Captain youre in for a bumpy ride. My Mac is 6 times quicker. Windows pc is 5 times quicker. Both are ultra quiet. YOU KNOW WHAT BOTH PC & MAC ARE ALIVE AND KICKING!

Makes the PC very quiet and quick to boot up when in use.

Love it. Easy to buy from CCL, and good value. The Crucial ssd includes a code to use Acronis cloning software. It was completely straightforward to install using Acronis, with simple instructions, and no problems at all. This is the second Crucial/Acronis install I have done. Thoroughly recommended to give a new lease of life to an old computer, both desktop and laptop.

Great piece of kit, works a treat and way better than the noisy hdd. Shame the postal service let you down with a long winded delivery, but Im well satisfied with the result.

Transformed my 2011 MacBook Pro

Great replacement for an old IDE drive. Product arrived on time, was easy to clone thanks to Acronis and an IDE to USB cable (bought seperately). Configuring the drive after installing and turning on the boost facility really make this zip along. Gave my old Dell 1749 a much needed boost.

Fitted into my early 2011 macmini. My old standard hard drive was so slow it was driving me mad. The new drive works a dream fast access to all applications especially Photoshop with no spinning wheel. To be honest I wish I had taken the plunge and changed it years ago. However at about 60 for a 500 gig SS Drive it's a bargain.

I decided to upgrade my new PC build with an SSD drive, rather than just putting my aging HHD drive, which was a cause of slow boot ups in my previous machine. I did my research and decided on the Crucial MX500 500gig SSD. The price was right, Crucial are up there with best for quality and speed, plus Crucial make cloning your old HDD drive mega easy. Within 30 mins I was fitting the MX500 into a drive bay, my machine booted to the lock screen in Windows 10 in 28 seconds, WOW. I highly recommend the Crucial MX500 2.5 inch SSD, you won't be disappointed.

Good quality product at competitive price plus usual fastvservice

The biggest advantage of SSDs is that they speed up booting and loading software, and the three of these I bought this year have done this. The oldest one is only 9 months old and certainly hasn't caused any concern. The other two were bought and installed 4 weeks ago. I opted for Crucuial because because they have a reputation for reliability.

good. but now it seems I'm on a spam email list.

Good and fast, and I'm amazed how cheap such large SSDs are these days. 500GB gives plenty of space for a Windows 10 install and a small catalogue of AAA games.

Excellant Stuff Worked like a treat Well Recomended

Not the best write speeds but decent value considering the cost

Product very very good. Delivery very fast, I always use CCL. Quality products at very good prices. Only quibble I got is with crucial.... I can't seem to download the acronis software to clone my drive.

Excellent product, cloned my hard drive to it and booted up straight off, would recommend to anyone.

Wanted to update my laptop drive to a SSD, I was looking at an Intel or the Crucial, both were a similar price. I chose the Crucial because it came with Acronis backup software but beware that you cannot use the Acronis software unless your laptop has space for two drives, would probably be okay in a desktop where you could add an extra drive. When you try to download the Acronis software it searches your computer for a Crucial SSD, wouldn't even find it in a USB caddy. Other than that it's a nice fast drive, boots to the desktop in about 7 seconds now.

Fast and reliable

Excellent! Very happy with it. It setup exactly as described and is so amazingly quick, it has exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

The Crucial MX500 2.5 " 500GB sata III Solid State Drive arrived when expected. It was packed in a fitted card box together with a 2mm spacer, needed if it replaced a 9mm thick drive. But it did not come with mounting screws which could have been a problem. I used it as an upgrade for a similar 120GB drive and it worked perfectly.

Works well with my aging 2011 MacBook Pro. No issues during set-up and has worked well for the last month or so since installed.

Fairly painless to install and once in works well. Certainly quicker than my old hard disk.

Great, does exactly what it said on the box. My old Macbook now runs like a new machine!

Easy to install, and a big performance improvement.

replaced HDD. Given new lease of life to old computer

just brilliant

Great drive! Very fast!

Easy to install and set up

Well built using good quality material. Very fast

This an excellent product. It arrived well packaged and fitted easily. It has improved the speed of my computer. Very satisfied.

early days, but the installation was easy thanks to the bundled Acronis software, and my DAW music software goes like a rocket now!

Very good hard drive, love it!

good price/performance SSD

So I'm going to be real with anyone reading this, if I had a choice between Overclockers and CCL I wouldn't hesitate to choose CCL. The best prices I've seen on the products I want and the pretty good delivery options. Bought a CPU cooler and a case from OCUK and it was not cheap, coming to CCL next time. **I copied this over from another product but it's not a bot, I am a real person btw**

Does what it says on the box with good support from Crucial

Very pleased with the performance of this SSD which I bought to install in an external hard drive caddy after reading many favourable online reviews. Hardware encryption is a bonus.

Nice drive -- so far very good .. Used to using SSD's and this is good. As good as most I have tried and decent for the money! thanks.

Superfast replacement for my laptop HDD - what an amazing differance in speed - wish I had done this a few years ago. Great price and easy to install. Was despatched really fast , well packed.and a REALLY great price. Will deal again - thanks

Very good product; easy to use with very clear instructions. Very fast postage.

Great for price for my budget gaming build. Fast as well, From switch on to desktop in less than 10 seconds. Always love Crucial drives, use a Crucial M$ in my laptop. This will definitely do you if you are on a budget. It's very fast and loads my games very quickly. For it's price there isn't anything better quality wise.

Great drive, had no issues with it, its stupidly fast and decently priced

Came promptly exactly as expected. Works beautifully and cheap for an ssd that size. Had to buy a separate bay to it in pc.

Was impressed with the difference in speed when loading Windows 10

Best purchase I have made for yrs lighting fast

Great product at a good price, quick delivery. Very happy.

Works hassle free and as expected.

Absolutely amazing! This brought life back into my Mac Mini! It was so slow it took at least 2/3 minutes to open a web browser now with this SSD its opens within seconds! If your computer is slow you will definitely need this it will be like a new machine! Ill be upgrading to 1TB within the near future.

It was very easy to install my operating system to (windows 10 pro)

Brilliant a lot faster than a hard drive , works great in laptop , battery now lasts longer and loads faster
