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

I was looking for a replacement SSD for my 750GB mechanical hard drive. It was either that or upgrade my computer to a faster processor. The SSD sped up my computer significantly. Tasks that were taking a long time as software updates made the softw...

I picked this up at the surprise sale price of $155. I replaced my Plextor M5S 128GB SSD in my desktop (to move into my laptop). I know the speeds of any 128GB SSD is going to be slower than a 240GB one, but this is markedly faster. Highly recommended.

Very fast; High capacity

Boot Win8 in 8.5sec, much faster respond time, no sound, less heat and longer battery time. Highly recommend and will buy the larger size SDD when the price comes down.

For SSDs to become more cost effective they need to implement higher density NAND, which is often at odds with performance, endurance or both. Samsung chose the endurance side of the equation, but kept performance largely intact with the vanilla 840.

I installed the Crucial 120gb SSD in my "custom-built for speed" computer and installed Windows 7, and all my programs and data onto the drive. Works great and no problems so far.

Rapid Bootup; Rapid Program Starts

Prior to the m4, Crucial updated their flagship SSD products roughly every year, but that changed when m4 stretched the timeline. The m4 product series held a two-year stretch on the timeline and is still a popular product today, while the existing supply dwindles away.

Installation and setup were a breeze. This fast SSD makes editing photos a lot faster.

Easy To Install; Fast; Highly Compatible; Reliable

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points below: As I said at the beginning, ‘ evolution' , is the word that describes the M500 and reflects the work that Crucial has put into this drive not only to make it faster than the M4, but also implement technologies such as hardware...

Outstanding operation as a system drive; Is able to achieve 80.000 IOPS without sweating; SATA 6Gbps support; 7mm thick SSD ready for Ultrabooks; Hardware data encryption; Very fast recovery from a used state; Adaptive thermal protection; 3 year warranty; Very well priced
