  1. AdamF

    My computer is incredibly fast now and install was easy.

  2. 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.

  3. Ladyray54

    My computer works so much faster with this drive. Good as new and a reasonable price.

  4. MercerS

    I love Best Buy and it’s always my first option when I want any electronics

  5. Riley

  6. Nuttallti

  7. Charlie

  8. RubenW

    wanted a terabyte had to settle for half of a terabyte

  9. EdgarY

    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!

  10. LouDubbaU

    Works great with the PS4. Load times are significantly faster than the factory HDD.

  11. chadmacato808

    Fits and works perfectly well in my old family laptop. Definite upgrade from a 5400RPM HDD

  12. 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.

  13. Paul

    An inexpensive ssd for updating a laptop.Much faster than an HHD for any application. Used before with no failured.

  14. user356644

    Awesome. Perfect replacement and upgrade to my pc.

  15. 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.

  16. JamesZ

    Great SSD, Crucial has often been my go to for all SSDs and Best Buy almost always has it in stock

  17. 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.

  18. Simon

    Great product. I highly recommend. The Geek Squad are the best.

  19. MartyC

    No issues, stays cool, works as expected. Boot up times have increased dramatically

  20. 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.

  21. 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

  22. 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.

  23. Mellis

    Great drive and good value. Upgrades and repairs. I have hade no problems with this brand.

  24. Malfonso

    Fisrt time with this brand, great product, I liked!

  25. RobbieS

    Works great. Got it to replace old slow hard drive out of my mom’s laptop.

  26. 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.

  27. Satisfied

    This new hard drive is amazing, our old desktop runs like new. Great purchase for an affordable price.

  28. AlexisC

    Great replacement for a slow HDD, pricing is great.

  29. 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.

  30. Brayden

    Great price to performance worked well and is cheap for what you are getting new.

  31. LindaM

    the Geek Squad installed the new driver in my computer after the old one died. They did it quickly and it works great!

  32. 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.

  33. AndreJ

    Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. Nuha808

    Replaced a dying mechanical drive with this SSD and it was
    the best thing I did for my old 2012 mac-book pro ! Boots better and less drain on my battery .

  37. Unknown

    Great value
    And made this Xbox much more faster and stable !

  38. OscarE

    Excellent storage capacity, compatible with Apple MacBook Pro.

  39. Hir2500

    Performance is great, easy to install on a desktop, a huge improvement on computer startup.

  40. Unknown

    Best budget ssd I put in an old gaming laptop and it sped it up even faster than I imagined!

  41. DiegoG

    good quality, faster, helped renew my old computer.

  42. GivenConsumerProfileName

    Reliable. Fast. Fits in old Dell laptops just fine. Consistent speeds.

  43. 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 .

  44. 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???

  45. TimandterryD

    Always had great luck with Crucial products! Good SSD! This is a reliable model! Worked great!!

  46. Anonymous

    Solid Product. Works well as an upgrade for and existing HDD, as a second installed drive or as an external.

  47. Liam

    Speeds up the PC getting up and running. No problems.

  48. 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!

  49. Shawnf

    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.

  50. Norseman

    So far this has made my computer faster! Installed by my local store in a very short time.
