The drive itself is GREAT, 5/5 for a Crucial drive (I've purchased several of these and similar MX300-series for servers and desktop builds). The low rating is because I am 110% sure I received a used SSD, despite paying full price for a new unit.
* The retail packaging (little barcode sticker that holds the box shut) was broken before I opened the shipping box. Little red flag, but everything was inside.
* The drive statistics show that the drive has been powered on 40+ times, for a duration of almost 3 days. Second red flag, I've never seen an SSD out of the box show more than 3-5 power cycles, and maybe 1-2 hours of power-on time. This was out of place for a "new" SSD.
* The SSD was loaded with Ubuntu 16.04 - MAJOR RED FLAG. These drives should not be loaded with any type of OS, but this one was. A quick format removed the OS.
Long story short, while I did receive a working product, I'm frustrated that it was obviously a used one that was apparently returned to Amazon, then labeled and resold as "new".
Photo shows the disk statistics, about 2 hours after I wiped the SSD and installed Windows (I cycled the power maybe 4-5 times during installation).

Gave my 2011 iMac a new lease of life
By Arun on November 18, 2017
I have a mid 2011 iMac that was running low on hard disk space but still has enough computing power for my needs. Simply installed this guy behind the Optical Drive based on video instructions from macsales. You'll need suction cups, the right screwdrivers, and a SATA cable to connect this to the logic board; these are available as a kit from Amazon or elsewhere. The install is not complex, but needs attention to detail and keeping track of a number of screws and connectors. Installed High Sierra on this disk, and am now using my old hard drive as internal storage for photos and less frequently used files. The computer boots up much faster, apps run faster, it is quieter, and probably runs cooler. The Samsung 850 is faster based on objective reviews I have read, but I bought this one based on slightly better reviews on Amazon from Mac users, plus it has 25GB more space. I am not sure the speed difference matters unless you're doing storage intensive processing like large videos. Highly recommended upgrade for an older Mac. I have attached a couple of speed test reports that show the improvement versus my old HDD. The slower speed is with the HDD obviously. Note also that you will have to enable Trim manually through terminal, which is very easily done.

Works really well on laptops with Crucial momentum cache enabled
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2017
I’ve been a big fan of Samsung drives, but the price difference on the 1TB was enough to make me jump ship to Crucial. I use it in a gaming laptop as my data drive (I have a 250GB system drive and then the Crucial 1TB for data, games and applications).Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2017
The laptop is a recent (2017) MSI Apache 17”. It has space for one PCIe SSD and one standard SATA 3. I chose to go with a standard SATA because I’m lazy and didn’t want to mess about with moving the system disk.
Anyway, all good, and decent for a SSD (but not outstanding figures) in CrystalDiskMark. That is until I downloaded Crucial Storage Executive and enabled momentum cache.
The figures speak for themselves (see my screenshot of CrystalDiskMark).
I've also added a second image from Task Manager showing how momentum cache works. The G drive is a traditional HDD transferring 25GB of data to F, a 1TB SSD with momentum enabled (I'm actually installing the game Fallout 4 from G to F). You can see that the SSD only occasionally writes data (about once every 10s).
So, a very good thing about Momentum cache is the way it handles small files; it caches them to memory and only writes them to the physical SSD occasionally. This not only saves wear on your SSD, but it also makes certain tasks fly. I am a web application developer, and my build process (which involves working with literally thousands of javascript files) is now super fast (it would be even faster if node/npm was multi-threaded, but that's another story!).
What are the downsides of doing this?
Momentum cache uses your PC memory as a read/write cache, so you need to have a decent amount of memory. My laptop has 16GB, so all good there. I suspect it will work less well for 4GB systems, or if you are using a power-hungry application (such as Adobe Premiere, which I use). It also increases the CPU overhead.
EDIT: I're realised Windows 10 Task Manager > Memory shows you the RAM cache (its marked as 'memory that has to be saved to disk before it can be used for something else' or words to that effect). I copied over the full install folder of Fallout 4 plus DLCs
(29.6GB) onto a Momemtum enabled drive and the cache varied between 1 and 1.5GB. So the 4GB is never reached; more like >2GB.
Crucial strongly recommend a battery backup if you use momentum cache (i.e. you can lose the cached data on a power fail), so other things equal you should only really enable it on a laptop.
The cache is written to the real SSD on power off, so system shutdown takes longer (by 5-10s, so significant).
But yeah, just look at those figures; well recommended for laptops with memory to spare; your system flies!
Edit: Another good thing about the Crucial I'm finding is that it uses devSleep much more often than other SSDs. Since writing this review (5 months), the up-time for my SSD (according to CrystalDiskInfo) is only 9 hours when the physical up-time has been office hours (8.5 hours a day, 5 days a week). The low up-time saves both power and wear and tear, with no noticeable affect on access time. DevSleep only seems to kick in on laptops (it does not seem to affect my desktop), but is certainly something that will extend your laptop battery life (especially if you have two drives) and the life of the SSDs themselves. Oh, I also suspect the up-time is coming out so low because of Momentum Cache (RAM caching means less access requests to the SSD and more devSleep down-time), so devSleep and Momentum cache probably work together).
