My computer is incredibly fast now and install was easy.
JDHair –
Seems to be working and good solutions. BUT, the GEEK SQUAD team were fast as well as personable and very helpful in our crises. All good to go.

For the last couple of years my son has been using an old laptop from 2012 for his gaming. As the existing operating system became obsolete, I upgraded to the latest version. That significantly slowed down performance, so I had to upgrade the hard disk and RAM to 16GB. I chose the Crucial MX500 for the SSD and memory due to its reputation. I am glad that I did, because with the added hardware and a few minor tweaks the old laptop now flies!
LouDubbaU –
Works great with the PS4. Load times are significantly faster than the factory HDD.
chadmacato808 –
Fits and works perfectly well in my old family laptop. Definite upgrade from a 5400RPM HDD
DarkSide –
This was my first time installing an SSD and the process was simple and quick. Increased the speed of my old computer noticeably. The manufacturer is great also. Would buy again, in fact I’ve bought 2 of these within the last few months. 5 stars.
Paul –
An inexpensive ssd for updating a laptop.Much faster than an HHD for any application. Used before with no failured.
user356644 –
Awesome. Perfect replacement and upgrade to my pc.
TeresaO –
This drive was selected by the Best Buy Geek Squad to replace a failed drive in my HP laptop. They cleaned my laptop, and installed my software back on my laptop.
JamesZ –
Great SSD, Crucial has often been my go to for all SSDs and Best Buy almost always has it in stock
SMB2009 –
I bought this to replace the old HDD in my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. My laptop is a lot faster with this SSD. Well worth it.
Simon –
Great product. I highly recommend. The Geek Squad are the best.
MartyC –
No issues, stays cool, works as expected. Boot up times have increased dramatically
ERElectronics –
I use Crucial MX500 SATA SSDs very often. I’m sure I’ve gone through about 50 or so in the last year alone.
They are the best option for a SATA boot drive available. Very fast speeds with a TLC 3D NAND memory and DRAM cache of 512mb AND an SLC cache too! The best value at even double the price from Samsung or WD to get all of that.
ZacharyS –
Upgraded from a hard drive to this and wow so much faster. Was bery easy to install. 5 stars would recommend to anyone needing a SATA SSD
InsigniaFireTv –
I bought this see how my old slow and unwanted laptop would feel. I was impressed. The laptop felt brand new again. Load times were almost instant and I now threw the idea away that i needed a new laptop. Also had to buy a sata cable for cloning the old hardware which was not an expensive purchase and quite useful to have.
Mellis –

Malfonso –

RobbieS –
Works great. Got it to replace old slow hard drive out of my mom’s laptop.
FamilyTime –
Needed to back up a failing computer. The drive is fast. The reads/write times are fast and data pulls don’t hang up.
Satisfied –
This new hard drive is amazing, our old desktop runs like new. Great purchase for an affordable price.
AlexisC –
Great replacement for a slow HDD, pricing is great.
TerenceO –
the new internal ssd changed the computer to a much newer and faster one. It was at the advice of your tech that this was done.
Brayden –
Great price to performance worked well and is cheap for what you are getting new.
LindaM –
the Geek Squad installed the new driver in my computer after the old one died. They did it quickly and it works great!
ShadowNX –
I used this to replace a failing drive/enclosure that was no longer working on the USB port all the time. It was a cheaper alternative to the thumbdrives but probably uses a tad more power than a USB thumb drive as both would have worked for this instance because the data being used was only around 300GB.
AndreJ –
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DaisyB –
The ssd is an awesome upgrade … very easy to transfer and install in your old laptop …. You will notice the difference on load up speed…..It’s worth doing it.
JScott –
I used this to upgrade my friend’s older HDD in his desktop. It got the job done and he is happy. I’d definitely use this again.

GivenConsumerProfileName –
Reliable. Fast. Fits in old Dell laptops just fine. Consistent speeds.
David –
Upgraded an HP laptop with a Hard Drive that had moments of crippiling slow speeds to this and it feels like a brand new laptop. Made a huge difference, only complaint is that the Acronis disk imaging didnt work for me and I had to use a different software .
Unknown –
Lap top still running! This is the second ssd installed in this PC, sure hope it lasts longer then 2 years like the last one did???

Suzette –
Thanks to the Geek Squad, I didn’t need a new computer, but just more storage….and my computer is working better than new with this little piece of amazing hardware. This is my work computer and I needed the work done quickly….and it was. Thank you!

Ive used these for a while now and have always had good luck. These drives will extend the life of that older computer for a couple more years.
