What customers say about "Key Specs"
Crucial MX300 275GB 3D NAND Internal SSD
- Can't beat this for it's speed and capacity at this price.
- I bought a small capacity 275GB drive because I needed it to run software not store data. I use my old drive in an external drive bay for storage.
- What a huge speed and performance improvement over the old HDD.. Truly amazed.
- Since install it’s been an immediate and huge improvement with Read and write speeds 4x faster according to speed tests! Been working great and have no complaints. Would recommend!
- The only reason I gave this two stars, is that most people wouldn't actually see this performance drop. It's really specific to a large writes.
Crucial BX300 480GB 3D NAND Internal SSD
- FAST and efficient for my Mac mini server. It has become my internal boot drive. Impressive speed improvement from a spinning drive.
- The difference in speed is amazing.
- Read and write speeds are excellent at this price point. Also matches my silver and grey PC build theme very well (after I had removed that blue sticker). Would recommend.
- Easy to install, works perfectly. I'm a gamer and it's worked well for speeding up load times.
- Crucial SSD drives have comparable speed to Samsung and OWC SSD drives.

What customers say about "Features"
Crucial MX300 275GB 3D NAND Internal SSD
- This drive is somewhat lighter than the drive it replaced and the form factor is virtually identical.
- I used it to upgrade an old laptop & the form factor was perfect. It fit the HD compartment exactly as it should.
- Running it at Sata 3 GB/s & working smoothly so far.
- These drives utilize Micron 3D-Nand technology and have extremely fast upload/download transfer rates. They are extremely reliable and are priced substantially lower than other manufacturers.
- Acronis cloning was a bit of a pain. Took too much time to clone but after a 3 hours of troubleshooting I managed to clone my Windows 10 installation successfully.
Crucial BX300 480GB 3D NAND Internal SSD
- I use external RAIDs for all data and dual external backup drives with all but real time backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.
- Installation was easy using Crucial's videos.
- Good Crucial quality and reliability. Drive connected to my Mini with no issues. Works good like I expected
- The cloning software worked great and was fast. I may try to use this SDD in a Linux machine and see if I have any better luck.
- I may not get the full speed benefit of SATA III on my SATA II laptop, but it boots much faster than the old 7200rpm drive.
