BX500 SATA SSD 480GB, 2.5", Up to 540MB/s, Laptop and Desktop (PC) Compatible, 3D NAND, Dynamic Write Acceleration, Internal Solid State Drive - CT480BX500SSD1

I have owned various PCs in the last 20 years or so and they all had old school mechanical HDDs, and to be honest I never really had many issues with them. All my PCs were either from before SSDs existed or were from when they were still quite expensive and generally came in smaller capacities (my current rig is around 6 or so years old). As I cannot afford to upgrade right now or ideally build my own, I decided to make some tweaks to my existing rig as it is still fairly decent for its age. I upgraded ram a couple of years ago (2x16gb sticks) and last week upgraded from the stock cooler to a much beefier Be Quiet cooler as the CPU was really getting hot under heavy load. While I was at it I thought it was time to finally go over to an SSD seeing as they now have much better capacity for not a lot of money. I decided to go for Crucial as I have always had good experience with them. My PC ram is Crucial and so is the M.2 SSD in my PS5. I felt this had the specs that suited me and as I say, price wise, it was pretty damn cheap. Sadly due to my board being slightly older and being a micro ATX I don't have an M.2 slot, so SATA was the only way to go. I did make one error though as I assumed it would come with a SATA cable, but of course we know what you do if you "assume" anything. It was a simple enough solution, order a cable from Amazon and just fit the drive a day later than planned (I only mention this as I am sure there are others as naive as me who will get caught out too). It was very simple to fit as well. Plugged the SATA cable into the drive and the motherboard and found a spare power plug coming from the power supply that fitted as well and then it was time to test things out. Booted the PC up and while it did take a while to boot (remember this is still booting to my old drive) which is quite normal when installing new parts, but booted as normal. I then opened Acronis True Image (go to the website on the SSD instructions and download the file) and followed the onscreen prompts to clone my old HDD to my new SSD. I had deleted all my music from the HDD before starting this as it took up over 400gb and I felt that would just slow the cloning process down. Even with another 400+ storage still on the drive, it only took about 2 hours to do a full copy. After it was finished I rebooted the PC, went into bios and assigned the SSD as my new boot drive. The PC then booted to Windows so much faster than it normally does and programs loads almost instantly rather than the delayed response of yore. Even web browsers and internet tabs load faster. I also noticed that after the PC logs into Windows I can access programs straight away rather than waiting for Windows to do all its stuff before being allowed to access anything. Seriously loving this piece of kit. The way it works is perfect for me, and is going to make using my PC so much of a better experience than it has been. Factor in the easy installation and the free no issues cloning software, and I think I got an absolute bargain at less than £40. Oh, and I kept the old HDD in the rig but formatted it to use just as storage for my music which I have already reinstalled. Only one program had an issue, with my copy of Photoshop saying the licence was not on it, but that was easily rectifiable, and every other program seems to have carried the licences over.

Excellent SSD, perfect for CCTV use. I installed this 1TB SSD in my CCTV base unit and it works flawlessly. Installation was very easy, it fit perfectly and was recognised straight away without any issues. It has been very reliable so far, running smoothly with stable performance. The price was reasonable for the quality, and it does exactly what I needed it to do. Also a perfect combination for the Eufy HomeBase CCTV hub – fits perfectly and works perfectly. Great upgrade if you need dependable storage for security recordings. Very satisfied with the purchase and would definitely recommend.

I was in the market to purchase a new SSD for my PS4 and everyone pointed me to this one. The quality is great, the price is reasonable despite the outrageous storage prices. Without a doubt one of the easiest set ups ever. In my opinion, this is THE SSD you need for a PS4.

I bought the Crucial BX500 1TB CT1000BX500SSD1 because my 500GB Samsung 850Evo I installed in my PC was getting full so needed to expand my C Drive and as the Crucial was on offer and got good reviews I decided to give it a try. You need a USB-SATA cable that is NOT included with the drive and I didn't see that fact stated in the item description either but luckily I already had one that came with my other drive. This cable is used to connect your new drive to your PC/Laptop via USB to clone your already installed drive. The free cloning software is easy to use and you get step by step instructions how to install it then use it. The speed of the cloning process depends on your PC speed-I cloned approx 400Gb of data in less than 10 minutes and the new drive was ready to use. I swapped the drives over and powered on my PC-it did take longer than usual to boot-up but I presumed that it was due to a new drive being installed so I didn't think anything of it. Once booted up everything seemed to be working fine and has been the few days I have had it, the boot time has improved from the very first time but it is nowhere near as fast as my original Samsung 850Evo which was almost instant. Overall-a good SSD for the price and is doing the job I wanted it to do but it isn't as quick as I hoped it would be.

I upgraded laptop to a new one as my trusty 17 inch HP seemed on steam power taking forever to load up, run properly and shut down / update... to find the way it was ported over was half mine , half new and a % of programs that no longer worked.... so returned it as not for me... Upgrade from 1TB to 2TB and a faster item, after using Macrium I cloned drive ( but it does come with software, but I've used this for years ) 1 partition changed to put extra TB into windows drive. Pulled laptop apart, pulled old 2015 drive out and put this in. Put battery in and it boots. Faster under 30 secs from minutes, downloaded updates. And installs in seconds, power off under 20 secs. All software works ( apart from Outlook has lost profile but that's a Microsoft thing... be a YouTube to resolve) But £ for £ the fastest Upgrade for faster loading, programs opening and general made a 2016 laptop that was due to be binned into the better % and more usable again. Going to buy another for CCTV as far faster access and near instant write makes anything old and obsolete now the opposite....

Installation in fanless PC completed , a bit harrowing and caused the PC to overheat. Had to configure memory for less throttling and added external fan to aid with cooling. Drive works fine and has achieved my objectives.

Bought to use with eufy base station plug & play works fine no issues built quality good

I installed this Crucial BX500 1TB SSD into an ageing laptop, and the difference was immediate. Boot times dropped massively, and everything from opening apps to general browsing feels far more responsive. Installation was straightforward — it’s a standard 2.5" SATA drive, so it fit easily and was recognised straight away by the system. No fuss, no extra configuration needed beyond a basic Windows install. For everyday use, performance is very solid. The advertised speeds are close enough in real-world tasks, especially when compared to a traditional hard drive. Everything feels snappier, and even larger file transfers are much more manageable. The 1TB capacity is also a big plus. It gives plenty of space for documents, games, and media without constantly worrying about storage. That said, it’s worth noting this isn’t a high-end NVMe drive. If you’re expecting top-tier sustained write speeds for heavy workloads, this isn’t aimed at that. It can slow down a bit under very large continuous transfers, but for general use it’s more than capable. Overall, it’s one of the best value upgrades you can make for an older PC or laptop. Reliable, simple to install, and makes a noticeable difference in day-to-day performance.

Ya tengo dos SSDs como esta en mis dos portátiles y funcionan de maravilla. Ahora mismo es probablemente la mejor SSD que se puede comprar en este rango de precio y el almacenaje disponible es suficiente para un uso normal. Llevo usando una diariamente durante los últimos cuatro meses y aún no he tenido problemas. No espero que dure muchos años (aunque habrá que verlo), pero esta memoria es perfecta para revitalizar ordenadores antiguos a un precio bajo.

Muito bom! Já instalei no meu notebook e funcionando perfeitamente

Also zur SSD ist wenig zu sagen, außer dass sie sofort erkannt wird und einfach gut funktioniert. Es werden etwa 111GB von Windows erfasst. Wir befinden uns also im 10%-Rahmen und damit kann man zufrieden sein. Loben möchte ich auch ausdrücklich die einfache und umweltschonende Verpackung. Die SSD ist in einem einfachen aufklappbaren Plastikmantel aufbewahrt und liegt in einem einfachen DHL-Päckchen. Man kann alles locker mit der Hand öffnen und braucht keine Schere oder Geduld um an die SSD heranzukommen. Da habe ich bei anderen Herstellern schon frustrierende Erfahrungen gemacht. Desweiteren ist der Preis von 19.00€ noch zu loben, sowie der kostenlose Primeversand, der von Monatg auf Dienstag weniger als 24h gedauert hat. Ich habe die SSD vor wenigen Minuten mittels USB-Fetplattengehäuse an ein uraltes Notebook gesteckt, in welchem noch eine SATA1 (ja ohne Witz SATA-150) HDD werkelt. Das Notebook wird für Studienzwecke mit dieser SSD reanimiert und soll für einfache Office-Aufgaben und seichte Tasks wieder startklar gemacht werden. Dazu klone ich nun die HDD auf die neue SSD. Soweit sieht es gut aus. Zwar werde ich mit dem SATA-1 Port zwar keine Geschwindigkeitsrekorde brechen, aber die SSD-typischen Zugriffszeiten erhält man natürlich mit dieser Platte trotzdem. @Amazon und @Crucial: Einfach geil. Danke!
