The newer M550 SSDs from Crucial were not available yet in M.2 format, so I ordered this one. Hey, at $0.56 per GB and a trusted brand like Crucial, how can you go wrong? The SSD arrived in a plastic package within a padded envelope. The SSD was loose within the plastic packaging, but it has worked perfectly so far. Note, there are other M.2 SSD drives that are the faster PCI-Express type, but my laptop required the SATA interface.

I cloned my laptop's Windows 8.1 OS via a USB-SATA adapter which was plugged into a ZTC M.2-SATA adapter. The cloned OS worked perfectly when I rebooted. I expanded the Windows partition and now have tons of space for the future.

The SSD did not have the latest firmware. There is no update program for Windows 8, so it was necessary to create a bootable USB flash drive (or a bootable CD/DVD). The recommended program "Universal USB Installer" prepared the USB flash drive. It was not UEFI compatible, so it was necessary to temporarily disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Boot mode. This was not difficult for me, but it could be for others. The firmware update was successful and no files were lost.

For the price and the capacity provided, this M.2 SATA SSD is recommended.

Installed these in our MacBook Pros 3 years ago and still working perfect. Installed one in a Windows laptop this year. Also works perfectly.

In fairness, I had to give it the full monty so to speak. The truth is that it took me two weeks to locate the spot on my motherboard to install the darn thing which is certainly no fault of Crucial. Who has ever heard of installing anything on the bottom of a motherboard. I am still working at dealing with compatibility but again that isn't Crucial's fault.....HBR
