At CES 2013 Crucial announced the release of their new M500 series SSDs. This new model was meant to replace the aging M4 series and push the SSD industry towards a more budget friendly direction.

had no luck in a Dell XPS until I updated using the Crucial M500 U03 firmware. Worked great after that.

On the broad scale, there is quite a substantial gap between solid state drives that offer up massive storage capacities and those that offer blazing performance, making the process of choosing a drive that offers both to a certain extent rather hard.

The improvements of a solid state drive over a traditional hard drive, in our opinion, are nothing short of astounding. So scintillating is the difference that you'll wonder how you ever survived without one.

Sleek design; Excellent incompressible data results; Great value; Massive storage capacity

Great drive; Gave me the extra speed I needed for the computer I use as a small business server

said comes with a adapter but I had to order one that would work in a 3.5 slot
