Crucial SSDs have an established reputation with Mac users. This one went into a late 2010 MacBook Pro without problems (it was a snug fit without the supplied spacer - it's not really an adaptor - so I didn't bother with it).

Crucial MX100 hits the market offering many enterprise grade features at a budget friendly price point. Combined with its high performance, this drive is almost impossible to pass up if you are in the market for a new SSD.

Crucial has been on a tear as of late. In the last few weeks alone, the company has released a couple of new series of solid state drives, one targeting the enthusiast segment ( the M550 ) and the other targeting data centers ( the M500DC ).

Strong Performance; Affordably Priced; Spacer and Imaging Software Included

Didn't Lead The Pack In Any Particular Category

Does what a sizeable SSD should do but for a bargain price. Unbeatable combination of capacity and response time.

Crucial's new MX100 SSD is super affordable, yet provides excellent performance that can easily compete with the big boys. It uses brand-new 16 nanometer flash chips from Micron, paired with a proven Marvell controller. Hands down the best SSD you can get!

Awesome price per GB; Best price/performance; 7 mm thin-Ultrabook compatible; Leading MySQL performance at 64 threads; 3 year warranty; Acronis cloning software included

Largest capacity available is 512 GB

I have been following technology for quite a while and in that time I have witnessed the birth of solid state drives and many companies bringing them to the masses. When they first came out like all new technology they were very expensive.

– Price; – Good performance; – Acronis True Image HD included; – 3year warranty

– None that I found

The SSD market is perhaps the most dynamic and competitive of any in today's IT industry. It can change rapidly, requiring a flexible and long-term strategy from its players. Those who fail to follow its trends may quickly find themselves outplayed.

This specific drive is the official nail in the coffin for traditional hard drives. I've successfully installed drives of this exact model into 41 different computers between work, home, and charity work, and none of them have given me any issues at all.256gb is the realistic minimum size hard drive...

Great Priceperformance; Low power consumption; Reliable; Versatile

It Isn't Free

i added this drive to my mid 2009 aluminum macbook pro, along with a new LB1 battery, and 8g corsair ram, and let me tell you…hot dayumn! i mean…DAYUMN! let's go another five years and see what $250 will do for this mac!

good price; good brand; solid construction; fast! fast! fast!

none! i'll leave that for the benchmark pros; but seat-of-the-pants analysis says this drive is easily twice as fast as stock

My fourth Crucial SSD. Hard to beat these guys in the performance per dollar race. Popped one of these into an Ubuntu server, boot times are 3-4 seconds now.

Excellent Price; Fast; Power Failure Write Protection; Free Migration Software

Sata cable would be a nice touch
