I simply downloaded Macrium Reflect Free which is very reliable and supports Windows 10. The way that I configured my new drive may not be the fastest, but it is safe and reliable. After installing Reflect, I created a full verified system image and put a copy on an external USB 3 drive, Next I disconnected my system drive and booted up off a Rescue Media CD. The external drive containing the system image was connected to one port and the new SSD was connected to another port via a Startech USB 3 to SATA 3 cable. Fired up the restoration and 22 minutes later it completed successfully. I connected it up to an internal SATA port and it booted right up without any problems. The only other thing I did was rename the C: partition to eliminate any confusion and pulled up Disk Management and extended the primary partition to incorporate the remaining unallocated space. This drive formats out to 489.05 GB which is about 43 GB more than a formatted 480 GB drive. My method isn't the fastest way to set up the new drive, but it is extremely safe because while I am doing the image restore my original drive isn't hooked up so even if the restore failed I would still have a perfectly good system drive if needed.
In actual use it feels every bit as fast as my Samsung 850 EVO drive. I haven't tried enabling the Momentum Cache feature that allows for dynamically allocating up to 25% of idle system memory for burst writes and is supposed to nearly quadruple the speed. So far it is running very fast so I might not bother with it for now.
My experience with other Crucial drives and memory has been excellent and have never had any problems and that was a big factor in choosing this drive as reliability is more important to me than having the absolute fastest drive. I also have several Samsung drives that have performed well and have never given me any problems. A 500 GB 850 EVO carries about a 25% premium over this 525 GB drive and it just doesn't seem to be anywhere near 25% faster, in fact under normal use I don't notice any significant difference, though the Samsung will benchmark out a bit higher. Either one of these drives would have been fine, but given the extra capacity and no discernible difference in everyday use I am very satisfied with this drive. Both are very well made and reliable drives.
Update 9/24:
I have enabled Momentum Cache and it does make a noticeable difference in the overall performance. My system has 16 GB of memory which means that this can allocate up to 4 GB of unused memory for caching. The nice thing is that it will adjust the amount of memory that it utilizes dynamically according to system demands and loading so that it won't have over allocated memory at a time when the system has a higher demand for more memory. It has worked very well so far without any hiccups, and I don't notice that it is there except that everything is faster. I am running Windows 10.
First, be sure you download the two pieces of software that help you get the most out of your new SSD: Crucial Storage Executive (displays info about supported drives, including SMART data and allows you to enable Momentum Cache - more on this later), and Acronis True Image for Crucial.
There are a fair number of reviewers stating their drives failed after 10-12 months. I'm optimistic if the drive are going to have issues, the SMART software would identify these issues. Both existing drives that I replaced had 95-96% of their remaining lifespan and there were 0 bad sectors. I was able to see this data in the Storage Executive software.
I first connected the SSD to a USB port using a SATA to USB cable connector (get one of these if you want to clone your drive for laptops or desktops without open SATA and power connectors - this is the one I used StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD ). Using the Storage Executive software, I confirmed the drive was recognized, healthy and not initialized (partitioned). The firmware was already up to date, another nice feature of the SE software.
Next I installed Acronis True Image to perform the cloning. There is no fee to use the software, but it will only install as long as one of the active drives on your system is made by Crucial. The process from there is pretty simple - roughly 4 steps. 1) Choose clone; 2) choose source drive (most likely your C: drive) - I choose the automatic clone method, btw; 3) choose destination drive (your new SSD); and 4) proceed with clone/reboot.
It took about 30 minutes for my laptop and 75 minutes for my desktop (different aged systems and speeds). Both clones worked perfectly on the first try and I had no issues booting up after swapping the drives.
Getting back to the Momentum Cache setting - the MX300's allow you to utilize some of your DRAM for random write jobs in such a way that it can increase write speed by up to 10x. This is because all the random data will be temporarily stored to DRAM (up to 25% of available system memory or 4GB, whichever is less, and then it will write the data sequentially. According to Crucial, the benefit is faster write speeds (you won't see increased read speeds, so you won't see a performance increase when starting up the computer or using it under normal conditions), and it also helps extend the life of the drive as random writes will wear out the drive faster than sequential writes.
Knowing I have so much remaining life on the drives I'm replacing (due to running out of space), I am going to repurpose them in my family's computers, as they still have HDD's and won't come close to using all 256GB. I'm very happy with the older crucial drives and looking forward to years of use with these new ones.
If there are any issues in the future, I will update this review accordingly.

En mi caso escogí el de 525 GB por su gran capacidad. Aunque hay que tener en cuenta que una vez aplicado el formato al disco se nos queda en 487 GB aprox.
📀 - Tiene una tasa de transferencia de 6GB por segundo, según especificaciones. Aunque con mi hardware fueron 533MB/s de lectura y 514MB/s de escritura.
📀 - Tiene entre 7 y 9 milimetros. El disco duro en sí es de 7mm, pero trae un adaptador (que se fija con cinta de doble cara) para convertirlo en 9mm en el caso que vuestro pc tenga más hueco para el disco duro.
📀 - El adaptador que trae hace que sea una medida compatible para remplazar todos discos duros de portátiles,
incluso con modelos que sean muy finos.
📀 - Es perfecto para conseguir una buena tasa de transferencia, lectura y escritura (adjunto una foto de los
resultados que ha dado en mi equipo personal).
📀 - Cero ruidos
📀 - Más resistente a los golpes que los convencionales y con un índice mayor de durabilidad.
📀 - Trae memorias 3D NAND.
Yo lo compré de oferta a 59€, pero es un precio muy barato, recomendaría pillarlo a 110€ . Muy recomendable!!!
En mi caso realice una instalación limpia pero he puesto varios disco SSD a clientes y os describire el proceso de clonado con Acronis y EaseUS Partition Master.
ACRONIS MUY RESUMIDO:
1 - Descargar ISO de ACRONIS y bootear en un USB con RUFUS o similar.
2 - Conectar los dos discos al equipo .
3 - Cambiar el orden de arranque del equipo (BIOS), para que arranque desde el USB con ACRONIS.
4 - Entre las opciones seleccionar: "Clonado de disco automático" y seguir el asistente.
NOTA: En discos de diferente tamaño, se reparticionará automáticamente.
5 - Reemplazar el disco duro y arrancar.
6 - LISTO!!!
EaseUS Partition Master MUY RESUMIDO:
1 - Descargar el software desde su página oficial y lo instalamos.
2 - Conectar el SSD a nuestro ordenador.
3 - En las opciones, seleccionar "Migrar a SSD".
4 - Seguimos el asistente. NOTA: En discos de diferente tamaño, se reparticionará automáticamente.
5 - Apagamos el equipo y remplazamos el disco duro.
6 - LISTO!!!
En ambos casos, recomiendo ver un vídeo en Youtube para más especificaciones.

Il design degli SSD firmati Crucial abbiamo imparato a conoscerlo bene negli ultimi anni e anche questo MX300 non differisce praticamente in nulla, se non appunto per quanto riguarda il modello inciso sull’adesivo frontale. Sul retro è presente il connettore con interfaccia SATA III retrocompatibile con gli standard precedenti, mentre il lato inferiore, oltre alle classiche informazioni di sorta come numero seriale e altri dati specifici del modello, presenta gli alloggiamenti per il fissaggio tramite viti, queste ultime non incluse all’interno della confezione di vendita.
crucial mx300
Prima di procedere alla disamina delle prestazioni nell’utilizzo quotidiano, è necessario mettere in luce le importanti novità che porta il Crucial MX300 in termini di specifiche hardware. In via quasi sperimentale, l’MX300 monta al suo interno un sistema di memorie NAND Flash 3D con struttura TLC. Sebbene lo standard TLC rappresenti proprio il limite ultimo di questo modello, frazionando in più parti la densità di archiviazione durante lo spostamento dei dati, quest’ultimo si sposa perfettamente con le nuove NAND 3D di Micron, azienda colosso alle spalle proprio di Crucial. A differenza dei comuni SSD SATA, che presentano una memoria planare, vale a dire con densità distribuita su un piano fisso, la NAND 3D del Crucial MX300 si sviluppa in verticale, aumentando la densità in maniera esponenziale per ogni singolo utilizzo e aumentando notevolmente le prestazioni anche con la presenza di standard TLC.
Precedentemente utilizzato solo in ambienti business, la scelta intrapresa da Crucial con questo modello apre sicuramente la strada ad un futuro molto più semplice per la diffusione degli SSD a grandi tagli di archiviazione, dato che le NAND 3D permettono la progettazione di unità nell’ordine dei più terabyte di spazio con costi di sviluppo decisamente più bassi. Dall’altra parte è anche vero che la concorrenza prestazionale con i nuovi standard PCI-e e M.2 è ancora del tutto inarrivabile, tuttavia la standardizzazione di queste memorie potrebbe rappresentare un passo importante per la graduale estinzione dei più comuni HDD.
Nel panorama sempre più ricco degli SSD, anche con un occhio puntato ai nuovi standard M.2, il Crucial MX300 si è rivelato un prodotto comunque molto interessante per come si posiziona all’interno del mercato. Le prestazioni parlano sicuramente di un prodotto che si pone in cima alla fascia degli SSD mid-range e in grado anche di mettersi in competizione anche con prodotti di livello comunemente più alto. Tuttavia, la vera novità il Crucial MX300 la porta con la sua struttura a memorie NAND 3D, promuovendo una specifica precedentemente propria solo del ramo business anche e finalmente al mercato consumer, compiendo un primo passo verso l’evoluzione dei tagli d’archiviazione a più terabyte senza spese così folli come avremmo potuto pensare. Certo, la buonissima ottimizzazione per prolungare la vita del prodotto non basta a giustificare, in ogni caso, una garanzia così limitata ed un supporto proprietario un tantino troppo semplice.
It comes with a acronis software product key which is nice to have if you want to migrate your windows to the new SSD. But Samsung's own migrating tool is much easier and less complicated to use and it has more features. The product key only unlocks the migrating section, all other features of acronis is not usable probably many of us won't use the acronis software much so it's not a deal breaker.
Pros
Everything about the product is great from the pricing to its aluminum build
Cons
Warranty. It comes with 3 years warranty which is less compared to the other offerings in 500 gigs category. Crucial is not a famous company in india it has a handful of service centers only in main cities. So claiming the warranty will be a difficult process.
Note:
Check if your laptop or mother board has a 6 gbps SATA port to get the SSD's maximum performance. Some laptops comes with 3 gbps SATA ports. In that case you cannot get the maximum performance of SSD. So you can consider Solid state hybrid drives(SSHD) an excellent choice if you have 3 gbps SATA port. SSHDs are faster than HDD and costs way less than SSD.
Ce disque dur est une fusée, j'en ai monté un dans une playstation 3 (525 Go) et un dans un macbook de 2007 (275 Go) en clonant le disque dur, les résultats sont impressionnants !
Dans la playstation 3, l'accès au playstation store est deux fois plus rapides, les jeux comme gran turismo 5 et 6 voient leur temps de chargement améliorés de façon impressionnante, destiné se charge lui aussi très vite, du tout bon, et la console chauffe beaucoup moins et donc fait beaucoup moins de bruit !
Pour le macbook, il suffit de cloner le disque dur d'origine (fujitsu 5400 rpm / 160 Go) avec Carbon Copy Cloner et le montage ainsi que le reconnaissance sont immédiats.
La vitesse d'écriture multipliée par 4, la vitesse de lecture multipliée par 5, les pages internet qui s'ouvrent instantanément avec la même connection réseau, les applications quasi immédiates, avant l'applestore s'ouvrait en 38 secondes, là en 6 secondes, ça parle !
Ces deux disques durs m'ont été livrés en chronopost, donc bien emballés, et dans chaque emballage il y a un code pour un clonage via ACCROIS mais je vous conseille si vous avez un mac d'utiliser CCC qui fonctionne en licence gratuite le premier mois
Très satisfait de cet achat, bien plus rapide et fiable que mon ancien CORSAIR F40 lui aussi SSD monté lui aussi sur une PS3 qui a commencé à faiblir au bout de deux semaines
Merci de m'avoir lu
