Review: It's a must have for any PC - A really great price point for a 500GB m.2 SSD. It has exceptionally fast load up speeds, my PC starts up before I can even sit down after pressing the on button. Very easy to install, a youtube video does the trick. 500GB is enough for installing windows, office and a few games and I have a second hard drive for more games/apps/files. The SSD has a flashing red light so you know if it's working or not.
Review: The best solution for your laptop - I bought this SSD to upgrade my Alienware laptop and oh boy... it is not a laptop now, it is a rocket... I could easily put numbers forward like how quick it is but this is not very important for every day user, the important is that it does not get hot to slow down and works flawlessly no matter how long computer is on and how hard it works. After over 6 month since I installed it and 6 month of everyday work with 4K multimedia using this SSD I can strongly recommend it without hesitation to everyone who need reliable and fast solution. Perfect. Thanks Crucial :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best solution for your laptop

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very fast
*by M***C on 6 June 2020*

So I bought this drive as it was recomended to me by a friend. It was my first PC build in way over 20 years and understandibly I was a little rusty and disconnected with todays technology. After plenty of reading and research i bought the drive and didn't look back since, loading times are lightning fast, games respond better and downloads have definitely sped up. So if you're looking for a great value SSD look no further, this one will keep youy happy. I should also point out that updating the F/W was super simple and intuitive. One last thing before I finish, this is SATA M.2 connector so make sure this is the type of connection for your MOBO. I happen to have purchased PCIe before and struggled with drive detection under BIOS and was sure that it was my MoBo that was faulty and after a tonne of troubleshooting turned out i was a burke and bought the wrong thing.
