After 4 weeks drive failed asked for refund or replacement was sent a link to crucial to try and RMA it through crucial I’m actually shocked and quit disgusted if it was pc world or argos you would take it back and get either a replacement or a refund no problem they wouldn’t tell you to contact the manufacture after only owning it 4 weeks you have 12 mouths by law!! I’m never going to use 3rd party sellers on amazon ever again its just not worth the hassle when things go wrong ;-(…
Originally I gave this ssd a five star review as installation of window 10 went fine and I had no problems at first but after about 17 days I restarted my pc to find windows wouldn’t boot and It just kept booting into bios so I ran windows repair, this allowed me to boot into windows but 2 days later same thing happened again but this time it was unable to repair….
I’ve never had a problem with this copy of Windows I’ve used it many time’s on many machines never an issue but I had to format and…

I wasted a week trying to get the drive to work in any of three different computers. The drive was only visible in one (my high-spec. gaming computer already with SSDs), but it would not accept as new hardware, and I definitely could not connect with the drive. It was supposed to be for a new drive for my laptop, but was not visible on either of the two laptops that I tried. What a waste of time. I now have to go and find a different make, and it won’t be another Crucial, which is a shame because a two year old Crucial SSD works fine in my gaming machine; the quality is obviously not as good now.

I kept my Hard Drive with the Windows operating system in place still when ‘upgrading’ to this SSD which was fortunate because after about 15 months I had a ‘blue screen of death’. At first I did not appreciated it was the SSD because the PC eventually started. I noticed it reverted back to broadly the time I installed the SSD but just thought the system restore had not worked. I was not using the PC much at that time as I had a new laptop (care of work, now that many of us are working from home). Then it seemed to be very slow at starting up, and then I started looking at all the partitions I had and managed to work out that the boot drive had switched back to the old hard drive.
I restarted the PC and entered the Bios and pointed the boot drive back to the SSD and re-started. The PC tried to repair the SSD to no avail. So the blue screen of death was the SSD going after about 15 months of use. Not great considering the old mechanical drive is still going well after about 7 years,…

PC now running 10x faster on boot up.
Software to clone HD to this SSD not quite straight forward (so lost a star there). Software didn’t recognize the drive when installed on one of the SATA ports for HDD. I had to switch it to a USB SATA port to get it to be seen. Bizarre. Cloned HDD easily there after. I then reconfigured motherboard and installed this SSD as my primary drive. Worked OK there after. Lots of messing about and head scratching up to there but results well worth it for boot-up speed.
Update: Almost on its 1 year anniversary the thing died on me. Won’t by Crucial again. From 4* to 1*. I’d give it zero if I could.

I am updating my review. I am doing this due to the helpfulness of Crucial support. I am however still removing two stars. One for the length of time it took to get a replacement. And the other for the drive failing so quickly.
My original review is below. I do recommend the drives again but only with the proviso that I may edit this review again in the future if one of the drives fails again. I hope not. I do recommend these drives but except to wait quite a considerable amount of time and effort waiting for a replacement drive. They are very cheap drives when on sale and are very good for the money. I just question the quality of said drives since the failure. Do buy them if you want an affordable drive. If you want guaranteed quality no matter the cost then I recommend Samsung drives over Crucial.

Bought two in October of 2020.
They worked great for about 8 months.
Just today (9th June 2021) one of the drives died. Completely stone cold dead.
