- Superb speed for all my needs.
- Fast, low latency, excellent.

Crucial MX500 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive
- This thing is a awesome. I highly recommend this product if you are needing a really fast loading external storage for your consoles.
- I switched over to this Crucial 500gb SSD. Now everything works really fast and 500gb of space is pretty high.
- This SSD takes about 20 seconds for boot. I was amazed. Microsoft Word took 40 seconds to open with the HDD. It opens in 6 seconds with the SSD.
- Windows 10 starts immediately, login in a breeze and start to use applications without delay.
- 500Gb will be plenty of space since I plan to link the large files for programs like Unity to my 3TB drive.

What customers say about "Features"
Micron 1300 512GB Internal Solid State Drive
- Everything worked. It’s a great little SSD. Great features.
- Great little SSD, works great in a Mac, I like it.
- I drop this baby in a MacBook Pro mid 2012 and it’s rocking. Works well!
- Works great with Windows 10 64 bit home. Good form factor for my case.
- This thing maxes out the SATA interface!
Crucial MX500 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive
- Laptop now runs perfectly and is so much more responsive than before. Its like I bought a brand new laptop.
- It took about 4 hours to clone the SSD then I took out the HDD and replaced it with the SSD in my laptop. That was relatively easy too.
- The disk form factor is exactly the same as the former 7mm Hard Disk and reinstalling is easy.
- The software is astrious. Not a friendly user interface at all and it does not work properly.
- After cloning I struggled to get system to recognize disk to boot.
