    • Great speed, great price.
    • I found out you can buy the one year newer model for cheaper which has slightly more capacity and faster speeds
    • Very good entry level SSD that delivers fast speeds, booted up my Windows 8.1 Desktop in 8 seconds!

    • Unbelievable speed!
    • Nice speed bump in a 2010 MacBook Pro 13 in
    • not as fast as i thought, read speed is about 200 mbs, but works perfect fit to price!
    • The Seagate provided a modest speed increase, but the limited SSD on that drive just really didn't cut it
    • Super fast speeds, pretty sweet.
    • The read speed is still great but the right speed is way to slow
    • versions of the m500 have faster speeds than the lesser gb versions
    • I love the speed possible with SSDs!
    • Good speed, fully featured Windows 8.1 pro with all my programmes installed boots in under 20 seconds from button press
    • I replaced an older SATA hard drive with this and the boot up speed with Win 8.1 is incredible.
    • Speed is pretty good and is held back by the Sata2 connection being used.
    • After we did it improved battery life by a couple of hours, and the speed is amazing.
    • Popped this bad boy in and not only was it running at SATA 2 speeds (my macbook doesn't support SATA 3, so this was expected), but my boot time has been cut down to about 1/5th of what it was with a regular HDD
    • The speed is no as good as I expected, read around 350MB, write around 230MB, once the file was damaged due to suddent reset,So you should know that you should properly restart or switch off the OS, otherwise you will be regret, especially you have important file opened.
    • The Speed Up was remarkable.
    • slow write speeds
    • The speed of these SSD drives is simply astounding
    • This drive improved the speed of my computer using it for my C drive.

    • Heard some gripes about it's writing speed.
    • With the upgrade I won performance and speed.
    • Awesome SSD Good Value nice speeds cheap and fast! recomend this!
    • Noticeable speed improvement on boot-up, opening browsers and web surfing etc
    • The speed of it didn't degrade over time​, and its Though I'd recommend Samsung drives now as they're more common and I'm using one too, Crucial's SSD aren't bad either
    • I will say it greatly improved speed but the Samsung 840 pro is much more durable and just as fast.
    • Computer now boots up in a mere 10-15 seconds and I am loving the speed
    • Good speed, good reliability
    • That's not the hindrance some will say because most of us don't need faster speeds to do normal tasks.
    • love the speed, Ubuntu cold boots in under 5 seconds
    • It's not as fast as the light-speed specs had me believe, but it's plenty fast to satisfy
    • The speed and performance of my pc is improved clearly
    • good but the write speed is not so fast
    • Good price and speed!
    • they are a little on the pricy side, but once the 500`s get cheaper
