For many people, opening a computer and transferring data seems terrifying. That’s why we’ve made it easy in the step-by-step Crucial SSD Install Guide. Check it out before you buy, then install your own SSD quickly with everything transferred over successfully and hassle free.

Micron Quality — a Higher Level of Reliability.

Micron redefines what’s possible with innovative technology that shapes how we use data in all areas of life. Crucial’s unique integration with Micron means our memory and storage components are designed, tested, and refined at every stage of the production process.

Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using IOMeter with a queue depth of 32 and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-the-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.

Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.

Active average power use comparison based on published specs of the 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD and the 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX internal hard drive. All other capacities of the Crucial MX500 SSD have comparable active average power consumption specs.

Great value, very fast read and write speed, fantastic upgrade for my old 2012 MacBook Pro
For a very small price ($75 AUD) I was able to upgrade the capacity and performance of an old 2012 MacBook Pro which now runs as good as a new one. It more than doubled read and write speeds (details attached) and now means i can run the latest Big Sur MacOS release on it with no trouble at all. Startup is also lightening fast too.

Fitted this to my perfectly good but getting old HP Pavilion g6. What a difference. With windows 10 installed it would take 10+ minutes to be able to use the computer. Updates took forever. Not anymore. Very impressed. Cloning and installing was a breeze. Highly recommend.

Realmente pensei que esse produto fosse transformar o meu notebook em uma máquina um pouco mais veloz, aumentou, mas não como era esperado. Deu muito erro e até agora continua dando erros inexplicaveis, mas infelizmente não está satisfazendo as minhas expectativas. Valor pago muito caro, para pouca satisfação.
