My 2012 build full tower with it's spinning hard drives holding the data, worked well for many years.
The hard drive would blue screen like once a month for a few months before it decided to completely brick itself.
The cloning procedure took over 20 hours and went into repair mode when attempting to boot up.
Price
Great bang for the buck at the time of purchase.
5 inch internal ssd is a great value for the price.
(this entire review is talking about the 500 gb versions of each drive as of january 2021)for example:the adata su760 $52.
Meanwhile, there wasn't such a huge price advantage that it seemed worthwhile to gamble on something else.
Shipping
I bought this product, and it delivered exactly as promised by the manufacturer.
They came back faster than they had left due to the speed of the ssd.
I bought this drive just because it was the first one i saw that would arrive the next day.
Packaging/appearance
It was wrapped fair and no damage to the package.
If you don't have your original receipt of purchase for the drive, and the box that it came in, crucial won't do an rma on it u... Read More

So i stick to using my other brand choice until crucial can assure their ssd drive firmware problems have been fixed and their ... Read More

The crucial sata ssd is a great product at a terrific price when compared to the other big players like samsung and western digital.
Performs much better than what i expected and feels really solid compared to those samsung brands that are misleading.
I guess it’s not much of a review of the crucial sata ssd because it’s a know commodity, but more of a review on how diskgenius... Read More
Also, the drive was not recognized by acronis if i used a usb to sata cable.

Unlike the ps4 pro for which at the time the drive was much less economically viable in addition to the fact the ps4 is not optimized to run an ssd which i knew and doesnt support the fairly standard ssd trim function so itll almost certainly die prematurely
