This is a good drive. Let's set some facts straight.

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ok there's a few fake reviews below OR maybe they were written for a different device. Here are the FACTS!. The Sata III interface was designed for and cannot exceed 550 mbps per second. That being said there are a few Samsung drives USING SAMSUNG MAGICIAN SOFTWARE ON A CLEAN WINDOWS INSTALL UNDER LABORATORY TEST CONDITIONS that have hit the 700mbps mark. That is the ONLY exception as of this writing. FACT. Motorized hard drives have a 7 to 10 millisecond seek time before they can read or write files, also under ideal conditions on a clean install of ANY operating system, Linux, Windows or Mac. Solid state drives do not have ANY seek time so they are faster by design. FACT: When you clean install windows or any other operating system it installs itself according to the hardware it is installed to and discards the drivers and code it does not need, and optimizes itself to that machine. If you clone that operating system to the same machine with a new drive IT CANNOT re optimize itself a second time, whether its a motorized drive or solid state. also some drivers may not survive the cloning and you will only get a slight performance gain.. THIS IS NORMAL. The ONLY reason for EVER cloning a drive is because of software or user files that cannot ever be replaced or just being too lazy to do it properly. Nothing can compare to a clean install done correctly. All this being said, this is a great budget drive and for the money its hard to beat FOR EVERYDAY COMPUTING. I have installed and sold several of these and none have ever failed. The performance is better than most average SSD's but it wasn't designed to compete with the Samsung, OCZ or any other so called "GAMING" drives which is a marketing cliche anyway honestly. This is a MAINSTREAM BUDGET drive and done correctly in any machine will perform very well on a clean install and last a long time when properly maintained. When people write reviews you need to be comparing exact apples to apples. I would not recommend this to a performance minded overclocking gamer, they will be disappointed but for every day use its hard to beat and can't be beat at this price point. If you want more performance then get a Crucial MX series drive. The BX series is typical mainstream. The both are built with JMicron chips but the MX is a bit faster, just like ram and other things there are levels to this. I hope this actually helps someone and informs the rest. Don't write bad or negative reviews when your trying to compare a ham sandwich to a lobster or steak dinner. Compared to a PNY or SanDisk, this is definitely a better drive but its not going to keep up with a performance drive, not even in it's own brand. Its just that simple. You get what you pay for.

Best, Dollar For Dollar, Laptop Upgrade w/ Easy Cloning

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019

Capacity: 240GBVerified Purchase

I bought this SSD for a 5 year old Asus laptop with a simple Core i3 setup with just 6GB RAM. I found free cloning software online, and also bought a wire which I highly recommend, which will come in handy every time you need to upgrade an old laptop to SSD from it's original HDD. The wire you need to make this amazingly easy is USB to SATA. One end is standard USB (works with USB 2.0 and 3.0) and the other end is easy, plug-in to any 2.5" SATA SSD (has both the SATA and power, all in one, wide plug.) Just download your favorite cloning software, plug in the drive, plug in to the laptop, clone, then shut down, unplug and swap out the drives on the inside. Booted quickly without any problem. All programs, apps and data were there, and ran much faster with seek times far better than with the old, standard HDD. IMO, the best value to revive an old laptop. The difference is astonishing, even on a mediocre 6GB RAM, Core i3 rig. Buy that wire. It will come in handy, over and over again, because once you see how easy it is to revive an old laptop, you will be doing it for the whole family and the neighbors as well as they order new SSDs.

Bottom line: For less than $30, this Crucial SSD revived a laptop to astonishingly improved speed and boot time. Need more space, splurge for 1TB and have the same speed and quality with even more storage. An easy "clone and swap." (Best with that wire, USB to SATA.) Not included. After this purchase, I bought 2 more, immediately, and did to more laptops. All had the same, flawless result and booted on the first try after cloning.

Wild Card: Longevity of the drive unknown, but I hear that Crucial is an excellent brand, even this model being one prior to their newest model. I also bought and installed an "ADATA" brand SSD, and it works as well, but again, we'll see which wins longevity. These days, you should have backups of your important data anyhow.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

Capacity: 240GBVerified Purchase

Bought this because it was the cheapest SSD I could find that was not a no-name brand and had good enough specs as well. After installing it I tested it and was perfectly happy with the speed. Installed some games for my wife and it has been going strong for the last few months. The games load much faster than if they were on a HDD so that's all that matters.

Don't let the next part of this review scare you away from this drive. Everything has a place and purpose and this drive is no exception. It isn't a bad drive, there are just better ones if you need to go that route. I would buy the BX500(this drive) in a heartbeat over some other random brand like Silicon Power.

If you want something that will perform better and be an overall better drive then go with the Crucial MX500 instead. With the current prices there isn't a real reason to not get the MX500 because of how much better it is. You will be happier if it is a drive you want to last and actually care about. The reason I went with the BX500 is it was for a secondary computer that needed a bit more space for some games and I was not that concerned with getting a nice drive.

If you want to dive deeper into why the BX500 is worse than the MX500 read up on DRAMless SSD drives, the BX500 is one of them. In simple terms a drive without DRAM will have worse writing performance than one with it but reading performance should be similar. The durability and lifespan of DRAMless drives is also likely lower but this depends on many things. It gets more complicated than this explanation very fast but that puts it as simple as I can. It isn't a perfect explanation of everything involved. Overall the most important thing here is they are all faster than regular HDDs and each kind of drive has its place and usage.

Instalación ssd.

Reviewed in Spain on March 25, 2019

Capacity: 240GBVerified Purchase

El ssd está muy bien, para mi junto a samsung las mejores opciones sin lugar a duda. La memoria usada, 3D NAND, hace que su vida útil sea mucho mayor que la de otros ssd que emplean en su fabricación memorias más baratas. En cuanto al rendimiento, es una pasada, no hay mucho más que decir. Además tiene un precio de derribo actualmente.

Describo ahora que pasos sigo cada que vez instalo un ssd.
Depende de si tienes sólo 1 ssd ó si tienes ssd+ hd, el proceso puede variar (ej. los temporales los pues quitar del ssd si tienes un hd, de otro modo no). :

- Activas en la bios modo AHCI (sata, no raid). Poner cd de windows con el orden de arranque desde la lectora y empezar instalación. Se creará un espacio de 100 mg y el resto será donde hagamos la instalación. No hacer particiones al ssd, sufre demasiado.
- Una vez instalado, comprobamos alineación y Trim correctos. Para alineación podéis usar Disk Alignment Test, es gratis y no pesa nada. Para Trim, ejecutar sobre windows cmd, escribir fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify , dará valor 0. Es correcto y seguimos.
- Desactivar pagefile.sys, "Panel de control, sistema, sistema, , Configuración avanzada del sistema, opciones avanzadas, configuración, opciones avanzadas, cambiar". Ahí o bien la quitas y la dejas a 0, o la quitas y la pones en el HD, depende de si tienes mucha RAM.
- Desactivar desfragmentar, sobre windows, escribiendo Desfragmentador, se abre y quitamos programación. Además lo quitamos en servicios, escribimos en windows servicios, se abre y paramos y deshabilitamos “Desfragmentador de disco".
- Desactivar indización, abrimos mi pc, botón derecho sobre c, propiedades, y desmarcamos la segunda opción "permitir que los archivos de esta unidad tengan...." os dirá que necesitas ser administrador, dáis si, os dirá que no todos se pueden, le dáis a omitir. Este paso es el que más tiempo lleva, por eso lo suelo hacer al inicio. Además hacemos lo mismo que antes en "servicios", la opción se llama “Windows Search”, la paramos y deshabilitamos.
- Desactivamos hibernación, sobre windows escribimos cmd, y pegamos "powercfg -h off ", ya está hecho.
- Desactivamos Prefetch Y Superfetch, sobre windows escribimos regedit, luego seguimos la ruta HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager\ Memory Management\ PrefetchParameters y en las claves EnableSuperfetch y EnablePrefetcher poner un valor 0. Además desactivamos Superfetch en servicios, como en los pasos anteriores. Se llama Superfetch.
- Desactivamos puntos de restauración, "Panel de control, sistema, sistema, Configuración avanzada del sistema, protección del sistema, abajo disco c, configurar", y los eliminamos y dejamos a cero.
- Desactivar programación windows defender, sobre windows escribimos defender, y desactivamos la programación (no el programa).
- Cambiar ubicación carpeta temporales, (con ssd + hd), de otro modo no puedes hacerlo. "Panel de control, sistema, sistema, Configuración avanzada del sistema, opciones avanzadas, variables del entorno, en la casilla de arriba (Usuario) se modifica TEMP y TMP y se le asigna el directorio que prefiráis en el HDD, por ejemplo, D:\TEMPORALES, y hacéis lo mismo con TEMP y TMP de la casilla de abajo (Sistema).
- Todos los programas de descarga a d, no en el ssd,, (con ssd+ hd). Ej: torrent, firefox, etc etc.
- Comprobamos velocidades del ssd, deben ser parecidas a las que se describan, cuidado que si abusáis de programas tipo crystalmark, una instalación de windows pueden ser unos 60 gb (con todos los programas habituales), pasar este otro tipo de programas varias veces son 2 teras. Insisto no abuséis si ya estáis seguros de que la velocidad es la correcta. A 250 mg/sg de media entre los archivos pequeños y los grandes, echad cuentas cuanto escribes en 1 minuto.
- Si el ssd tiene software propio, tipo magician en el caso de samsung, usadlo, y cread el reaprovisioamiento, esto os quita espacio en el ssd, pero alargrá mucho su vida.
- No os fiéis si crystalinfo dice que tenéis AHCI y NCQ activados, verificad AHCI en la BIOS, si lo está, entonces tenéis los 2, lo digo porque yo me he llevado sorpresas.

He intentado ser lo más claro posible, que cada cual use este guión bajo su responsabilidad, a mi me va bien con él, y sólo he pretendido ayudar.

Un saludo.

Soluzione efficace per l'ottimizzazione dei vecchi portatili.

Reviewed in Italy on August 10, 2023

Capacity: 240GBVerified Purchase

La serie Crucial BX500 si dimostra una valida risorsa per chi cerca di migliorare le prestazioni di portatili datati. Dopo l'installazione di questo SSD su un vecchio portatile che ho dato a mia madre, ho riscontrato un aumento significativo nella velocità di avvio e nell'elaborazione dei dati. Questo drive, con la sua interfaccia SATA e la tecnologia 3D NAND, offre una combinazione equilibrata tra costi e prestazioni. La sua capacità di 240 GB e le velocità di trasferimento fino a 540 MB/s rendono questo SSD una scelta pratica per chi desidera estendere la vita operativa di un laptop senza dover investire in nuove macchine. Un investimento altamente raccomandato

Il disco Crucial è ok, il software Acronis è da evitare

Reviewed in Italy on July 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

Il disco Crucial SSD 120GB è ok, la velocità è buona, il problema è il programma Acronis (for Crucial) che è una... (leggete sotto e poi valutate voi cosa mettere al posto dei puntini).

L'ho usato per 3 volte (3 dischi Crucial da clonare). Le prime due nessun problema, la terza volta ovviamente viene fuori un problema che recupera anche il nervoso delle prime due volte andate bene.

Tralasciando che, a piacere del programma, impiega poco tempo o moltissimo per installarsi. E non ho cambiato nulla da un tentativo all'altro. Mettiamo che sia colpa del sistema, diamogli ragione al software.

Appena installato, si è riavviata la macchina da sola e non è più ripartita! NON È PIU' RIPARTITA! OK?

Dice che snapman.sys non è presente oppure è corrotto e non c'è verso di partire, provvisoria, provvisoria con rete, ecc..., ultima configurazione funzionante... niente.

Sul sito Acronis la procedura ha del ridicolo poiché prevede di avere un disco di appoggio tipo WinPE o qualcosa che permetta di caricare il registro della macchina che non parte (Load Hive per chi sa cosa voglio dire).

Prima di tutto è assurdo che uno debba incontrare un problema del genere installando un software per clonare un disco.
Secondo, vorrei vedere chi si tiene un dvd recovery di WinPE/Linux a disposizione per eventuali modifiche al registro. Io sì, ma non faccio testo.
Terzo, la procedura suggerita da Acronis fa ridere e vi invito a cercarvela e leggerla.

La mia procedura più semplice richiede di accedere in qualche modo alla cartella (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\) dei drivers del sistema bloccato (usando una Distro Live Linux, collegando il disco ad un altro pc funzionante mediante USB, avendo una seconda partizione avviabile sulla stessa macchina) e rimuovere il file snapman.sys.

Il sistema così ripartirà e si potrà disinstallare per SEMPRE Acronis for Crucial.

Decido di riprovarci, perché non può vincere Acronis, questa volta stacco anche il disco Crucial collegato via USB (penso, magari è stato quello a creare il problema). Bene.

L'installazione è più rapida questa volta. Appena terminata dice di avviare il programma...

Puffff la macchina si riavvia ancora una volta e non parte più! Chiaramente conosco già la procedura per recuperare e questa volta sono più rapido, ma vi sembra normale una cosa del genere? Per quanto mi riguarda, mai più prodotti Acronis per la clonazione. Non esiste che si debbano incontrare problemi del genere per una operazione banale come la clonazione di un disco. Capita una volta ogni tanto? Non deve capitare, punto!

Crucial dovrebbe selezionare con più attenzione il software per i suoi prodotti. Ci sono prodotti gratuiti per partizionare e clonare che valgono 10 volte questi software. La cosa più bella è stata la disinstallazione del software Acronis, un piacere ineguagliabile!

Non contenti parte anche un GA_SERVICE.EXE che non è altro che Google Analytics per raccogliere informazioni infilato nella cartella TEMP così non appare tra i programmi o servizi. Ormai tutti questi software forniti gratuitamente sono peggio dei malware. Tra l'altro durante l'installazione non viene nemmeno menzionata la cosa... tra l'altro...

Comunque decido di non demordere e provo su un'altra macchina il software che questa volta, incrociando le dita e cambiando OS da win7 a win 10, parte!

Parte sì, ma non mi permette di clonare il disco come voglio io. Io voglio clonare un disco più grande (partizionato) in uno più piccolo (SSD) chiaramente eliminando alcune partizioni. È una cosa fattibilissima, non per il software Crucial Acronis che nonostante permetta di escludere i file che non ci stanno, non permette di completare il processo e restituisce un errore.

Bene allora scarico Macrium Reflect Free (che tra l'altro non mi ha fatto bloccare il computer come Acronis e il suo maledetto snapman.sys) e chissà come mai in pochi minuti (27 minuti) seleziono le partizioni di sistema, le clono sul disco SSD più piccolo, rimonto tutto quanto e funziona tutto!

Eseguo un breve test di velocità e di utilizzo generale. Molto reattivo, allego screenshot con i valori.

Zero (0) stelle al software Acronis sia perché mi ha fatto crashare un pc funzionante sia perché non mi ha permesso di clonare il disco come volevo io (Macrium invece, che è gratis, lo ha fatto senza problemi).

Quattro (4) stelle al disco Crucial che ha risposto alle aspettative, pur considerando che si tratta di un SSD economico e non prestante come la serie MX. Potevano essere 5 stelle, ma non è possibile sorvolare su un problema software del genere e siccome è Crucial a consigliare Acronis, Crucial è responsabile e si becca una stella in meno (sai cosa gliene frega :D).

Questo Crucial BX500 SSD 120GB è un buon compromesso prezzo prestazioni (per ora) per dare un po' di boost a portatili con qualche annetto, per i pc principali direi di stare minimo sulla serie MX.
