Very fast drive, no comparison in quality with other similar types like Intenso and of course the difference in performance compared to a mechanical drive is huge!

Easy to install (for a beginner), fair for its price. We put it in the pc, and it really runs. Of course, the pc is not loaded at all. I only use it for the basics.

I cloned an HDD to an SSD and it worked immediately. I got it for <120 euros 1TB, I would have preferred it to be <100..

I had bought 2 disks, 1TB each, for 56 euros. Now that prices have doubled, I do not recommend them, it's not worth it.

I use it as a secondary drive just for my games and it's amazing. All the loading screens load in seconds and the games also open in seconds! It's more than worth it!

I always prefer these drives when I go for a SATA SSD. They've never given me any problems and I recommend them to anyone who asks me. RIP Crucial 2026, may AI and Datacenters be well.

The lifespan of the previous one with Windows 7 & 10 up to now is about 5 years and recently it showed a possibility of an error but it continues to run just fine (I removed it from Windows to lighten the usage and for security reasons).

I have bought 3 for old computers from 2013. Even though they have Celeron processors but 12GB RAM, with these drives for basic use, I worked excellently. The main thing for me was that the drive should be cheap and that the company provides a free application to do Clone / image etc. Crucial gives you Acronis True Image for free, which works for free if you have a Crucial drive connected to the system. This way, I easily did Clone both to and from other brands of drives in no time. At €25 they are unbeatable and I will buy more

I have had it on the PS4 for over a year, it continues to work flawlessly. I would almost buy it again today at the prices it goes for if I needed it. The disk was purchased for €58.

Purchased in 2019. Initially used in a 10-year-old laptop at the time, and later in a desktop computer. It proved to be a soldier. Until very recently. Used as an operating system disk, without any problems! Now I have it in RAID as a secondary, with very good speeds.

a very complete disk with good speeds for extra space on the computer and very good for its price

This is the third Crucial "disk" I have used (for 3 different machines). Simply put, it is affordable, fast, reliable.

Easy to install in a laptop to have extra memory, and generally does what it promises, I haven't faced any problems after 5-6 months since I bought it! Also quite good speeds, and the health of the drive has dropped only 1% after almost 6 months of daily use.

The test you see is because I have connected it via USB as an external drive... if I had installed it in the laptop it would have had better speed

Honest SSD for its price, it doesn't have outrageous speeds but it is very good for most tasks

Installed in a 2015 desktop PC, SATA III with i5 and 8 GB ram, replacing the original mechanical drive.
Initially the PC took off, but soon problems began.
After about 3 months and without any obvious reason, the PC started freezing and the health of the drive began to drop dramatically.
After trying every possible fix without result, I formatted and did a clean installation and the PC recovered, but after about three months I had the same issues again.
The same story repeated again and again, and no matter how much I searched, there was no conclusion as to what could be wrong, except for the drive itself.
At the moment the drive is at 51% and continues to drop.

It offers good performance for its price. The read/write speed is quite good for everyday use. Ideal for upgrading an old system or for anyone who wants a reliable SSD without spending much. I would like slightly better performance in large file transfers.

Good read speeds but terrible write speeds due to lack of cache. Used as a 3rd storage drive in the computer. I would never trust it as a main drive with the operating system. It struggles a lot with all kinds of writes (not just small files like most others) and no one knows when it will depart for the hard drive heaven.

The third Crucial BX500 SSD I have bought. I installed this one in a PS3 because the original hard drive failed. I re-downloaded all the purchased games from the PlayStation Store and the loading times of the games improved. Don't expect miracles, the PS3 only has regular SATA. Probably a cheaper and slower SSD would have been a more appropriate solution, but I wanted peace of mind.
The other two (500GB) are in an old laptop and as a memory extension in a smart TV. So far they've been rock solid, with good performance and VFM. Of course, it doesn't reach the performance of an M2, but where SATA is the only option, it's the first choice if you want reliability and value for money.

I bought it 2.5 years ago, now the computer won't start and according to the guy who maintains the computer, the disk shows 0% health. I replaced it with another one and I'm trying to figure out if it's still under warranty (the page says "You have at least 2 years warranty"...)
