Fast Cheap Reliable

Was worried the heatsink would inpinge on the graphics card, and it was close! Check your measurements carefully. As a happy accident it is now catching air off the graphics card exhaust hopefully its a net cooling but who knows. The heat spreader that came with the MB was useless so I'm glad I got something with a HS already attached. sequential read only is even close to 14K, IOPS read though is 4.7 GB! really nice! And you can tell the speed when installing software or moving data.

Connected the power and data cables and ran disk management to set it up, all very painless. It hits advertised speeds and is used for gaming and downloads. Games load quickly and I've not noticed any issues while playing. Teamgroups SMART Tool app isn't bad at all with disk info, system info and performance tabs, for all your disks.

It sits there and holds all my stuff.



A solid state drive is one of the simplest and most effective means of speeding up your computer. My ASUS ROG laptop is a great gaming rig, but I found I was waiting up to five minutes for all my startup programs to load (I am also using it to work from home now). After installing the Crucial SSD, that wait time is down to about 30 seconds! - The Crucial BX500 is a 2.5" SSD in the same form factor as every 2.5" drive; it's literally a plug and play proposition. The Crucial web site provides simple step by step instructions for preparing your system and new drive for installation, and links to the software you'll need. IMPORTANT NOTE: Be prepared to back up your drive to protect your data! I used an external backup HD; it took about two hours for a full backup. You should be doing this anyway. Cloning the drive took another two to three hours; you should consider this project a full day job. The difficulty of installing the drive will depend on your system; I had to remove ten tiny screws to open up my laptop's case. A previous installation on a desktop was much simpler. Make sure you have any brackets required to secure your drive in your system (see cons below). Once the drive was installed and the laptop back together, booting was seamless. This is just about the easiest thing, besides adding RAM, that you can do to boost your system's performance.


Sturdy design, very easy to install

Worked first time without any partition issues, VERY FAST -- faster than the product description



The 2TB Crucial P310 comes with a great quality heatsink and was easy to install in my motherboard's spare PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot. The 5 year warranty should bring peace of mind. Performance when the drive is nearly empty is great. Benchmark results are similar to my 2TB competitor's Pro version (which is half full), and faster in some tests. It's significantly quicker than my 2TB QVO SSD, as expected since that one is a SATA drive.



I installed to my ASUS TUF505GT-AH73, works fine. Disk speed is satisfier.

- Super Fast - No issues with the setup - Inexpensive
