- Speeds as advertised - Really solid queue depth 1 performance--I've seen lots of drives struggle here - Good price


Great performance to dollar ratio.


Its good. Been running Balders Gate 3 off it with no issues. Easy to install on my ASUS gaming laptop.

A very nice stick of memory was very cheap (was on sale) Very easy instillation


- good packaging. - this is a single sided SSD (500 GB).

It works as intended Easy to install Wonderful amount of space Very fast


Loads fast. Easy install. Was free!

I haven't run any tests to see actual throughput, but this drive has been perfect out of the box. Brought an older HP AIO back to life by swapping the mechanical drive out for this. Excellent product!

easy and fast to install

7gbps reads on an ssd with no dram cools down quick after stress test even with no heatsink

Very fast, the optional software worked well and device tested at high-end of expected speed, no errors whatsoever. Can be a great price, seemed top 5.0 NVMe when I looked various sites and reviews. I was very busy that day, buying all sorts of items, wish I HAD done a simple math thing, the marginal cost for the EXTRA TB of larger one (2TB) WOULD have been the one I SHOULD have bought, for my needs.



- Easy Install -- Most M.2 drives are fairly easy to install, of course it will depend on your motherboard and the devices near the M.2 slot. It fit nicely and firmly into my board. (Note: The screws should have come with your motherboard, not this drive, that's the norm -- although some drives may include hardware as a courtesy or bonus, this one does not.) - Capable passive cooling -- The heatsink is a nice wrap-around design, clean and easy to work with. It feels solid and durable (at least, relative to its size, don't throw it off a cliff). If you need a heatsink, this seems to be a good one. It keeps the drive (relatively) cool and stable. - Compatible with PS5 (and possibly other consoles, with various intermediate hardware as needed). - 5 year warranty, which means more coming from an established brand like Crucial. - Speed - sequential speeds close to advertised / ideal speed (4th gen NVME) - Value - this is a good value for a decent sized drive (this may vary over time)

- Performance - Temps - Value
