## Description

Crucial MX300 275GB 2.5 inch SSD

Review: Great Mainstream Drive with Competitive Performance, Pricing, and Crucial's Reputation for Reliability - This is a really nice drive with competitive specs, but not quite the best. The price per GB, the extra GB's in this size category along with it being made by Crucial and with a stated endurance of up to 220 TBW all add up to a great value. Some have complained that nothing comes with the drive and other than the 9mm spacer that is true, yet this is pretty much how most all drives are sold these days. The one drawback if you were hoping for a good migration tool is that they supply a key for downloading Acronis 2015 which recently was updated with patch 6613 and is now supposed to support Windows 10. I don't trust True Image any more after a simple cloning failed and corrupted my original drive. I simply downloaded Macrium Reflect Free which is very reliable and supports Windows 10. The way that I configured my new drive may not be the fastest, but it is safe and reliable. After installing Reflect, I created a full verified system image and put a copy on an external USB 3 drive, Next I disconnected my system drive and booted up off a Rescue Media CD. The external drive containing the system image was connected to one port and the new SSD was connected to another port via a Startech USB 3 to SATA 3 cable. Fired up the restoration and 22 minutes later it completed successfully. I connected it up to an internal SATA port and it booted right up without any problems. The only other thing I did was rename the C: partition to eliminate any confusion and pulled up Disk Management and extended the primary partition to incorporate the remaining unallocated space. This drive formats out to 489.05 GB which is about 43 GB more than a formatted 480 GB drive. My method isn't the fastest way to set up the new drive, but it is extremely safe because while I am doing the image restore my original drive isn't hooked up so even if the restore failed I would still have a perfectly good system drive if needed. In actual use it feels every bit as fast as my Samsung 850 EVO drive. I haven't tried enabling the Momentum Cache feature that allows for dynamically allocating up to 25% of idle system memory for burst writes and is supposed to nearly quadruple the speed. So far it is running very fast so I might not bother with it for now. My experience with other Crucial drives and memory has been excellent and have never had any problems and that was a big factor in choosing this drive as reliability is more important to me than having the absolute fastest drive. I also have several Samsung drives that have performed well and have never given me any problems. A 500 GB 850 EVO carries about a 25% premium over this 525 GB drive and it just doesn't seem to be anywhere near 25% faster, in fact under normal use I don't notice any significant difference, though the Samsung will benchmark out a bit higher. Either one of these drives would have been fine, but given the extra capacity and no discernible difference in everyday use I am very satisfied with this drive. Both are very well made and reliable drives. Update 9/24: I have enabled Momentum Cache and it does make a noticeable difference in the overall performance. My system has 16 GB of memory which means that this can allocate up to 4 GB of unused memory for caching. The nice thing is that it will adjust the amount of memory that it utilizes dynamically according to system demands and loading so that it won't have over allocated memory at a time when the system has a higher demand for more memory. It has worked very well so far without any hiccups, and I don't notice that it is there except that everything is faster. I am running Windows 10.
Review: AWESOME SSD Bang for Your Bucks -- BUT with 1 Caveat! - Until my purchase of this Crucial MX300 SSD, I only bought Samsung SSDs. I intended to buy a Samsung EVO 850 500GB, but I choked on its $179 price. THEN I saw the Crucial SSD 525GB for $119...and could not resist. So far, the Crucial is a GREAT choice. HERE'S WHY! FASTER THAN SAMSUNG: In comparison to my 'decommissioned' Samsung EVO 850 250GB, the Crucial MX300 is noticeably faster. The Crucial boots up Windows 10 a little faster. Big software, like Photoshop, opens a little faster. There isn't a massive performance difference. Nonetheless, I am very impressed with the very snappy speed of the Crucial. It is the fastest SSD I have owned yet. RELIABILITY: I always bought Samsungs because of their rock-solid reliability. That factor almost caused me to pay $179 for the EVO 850. HOWEVER, I bought Crucial RAM since the 1990s because of its extreme reliability for my custom PC builds . So, I hoped Crucial SSDs are as solid as Crucial RAM. So far, so good...but it is only Day 8...and thus only time will tell. MOMENTUM CACHE: This feature dramatically improves the SSD's 'burst' performance. (I think this feature is why software apps open faster in Crucial than with a Samsung SSD.) PRICE: At $119, the Crucial is a bargain in comparison to Samsungs and Intel SSDs. At $89, it is a screaming steal (which I paid for my 2nd Crucial during an desertcart sale). Definitely 5 Stars for price. SUPERIOR USA-Based TECH SUPPORT: I had a little trouble with setting up the SSD. I thought I got a defective one. I called Crucial Tech Support. A very courteous, knowledgeable technician discovered I overlooked a critical step. My mistake. Thus, the issue was resolved quickly. Afterwards, the SSD worked perfectly. The CON: MEDIOCRE SET-UP UTILITY: Crucial's software utility for setting up the MX300 SSD is a little clunky in comparison to the software offered by Samsung and Intel. Thus, initial set-up is slightly more tricky. In fact, my first attempt failed (but not to worry...just call Crucial Tech Support if you get stuck). CRITICAL ADVICE: You can't just install the Crucial SSD (either as an internal or external drive) and hope it will be immediately recognized by Windows. The SSD will not appear in Windows Explorer (or File Explorer). After connecting the Crucial SSD, you have to open Windows' Disk Management utility and INITIALIZE the SSD. Then it will be recognized and ready for the additional steps below. (If you don't know how to initialize the SSD, call Crucial Tech Support.) CRUCIAL ADDITIONAL STEPS: 1. Download and install Crucial's utility called Crucial Storage Executive. (I installed and used the utility after clean installing Windows 10 and updates on the SSD. You should use the utility before installing apps and other software.) 2. *** VITAL *** Use the utility to UPDATE the SSD's FIRMWARE. My SSD's firmware was out-of-date. 3. Use the utility to OVER-PROVISION the Crucial SSD. Use the recommended setting. (Over-provisioning will extend the life of the SSD at the cost of reducing the usable drive space by about 40 GB. Yes, some geeks say over-provisioning is unnecessary for modern SSDs...but I have a strong feeling that it should be done for the Crucial). 4. Enable the Momentum Cache feature. Perform the steps cited above...and your awesome Crucial SSD is ready to blast off! The VERDICT: If the Crucial MX300 proves to be as durable and reliable as Intels and Samsungs, it is definitely the best quality, fastest 'consumer' SSD for the lowest price. I am betting the Crucial is rock-solid. That's why I bought a second one less than 2 weeks after the first. :-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and value
*by S***L on May 7, 2017*

I've been buying and using SSD drives since 2012, and have used several different brand ones. The ones I've been buying the last two years have been Crucial branded ones. As a part of Micron, they have direct control of the chips used in their drives, since they are one of the largest manufacturers of memory chips. I like that. In the last year I've purchased several of the MX300 series drives ranging from 256 gb to 525 gb all the way to the one TB one I bought here. They all installed and performed perfectly. The Acronis cloning software that you download from the Crucial site, worked easily to make an exact copy of the 525 gb OCZ SSD drive I was replacing. There was a small issue with getting the right partition size on the new drive, since the Acronis software was persistent in creating two 500GB partitions on the new 1 TB SSD. I wanted a single partition. It was easy to bypass that issue using a separate partitioning program that allowed me to adjust the partitions more to my liking. All is well with the new SSD after a couple weeks of use. It's blazing fast and has doubled my boot drive capacity from my previous OCZ SSD. The OCZ still shows 98% of it's life expectancy remaining after almost 5 years of use according to the SSD utility I downloaded from the Toshiba website. (Toshiba bought OCZ). I formatted that old drive and have re purposed it as a very fast storage drive. If you buy a Crucial ssd you should download the Crucial storage executive program from their website. It allows you to easily check the health and life remaining information on your ssd, as well as tune the drive for optimum performance and check the firmware and update that if a newer one is available.
