My 8 year old Dell laptop has been given a new lease of life. Recently had the 100% disk error, along with an unreasonable boot up time. As it’s not used regularly it wasn’t financially viable to replace, so just replaced the hard drive using the Crucial cloning software (with guidance from YouTube). The difference was immediately noticeable so now no disk error, super fast start up and apps open immediately. What a great buy!

Comes well packaged. Simple instructions ie how to download instructions/software, (Acronis.) Problem was I had bought the 500gb sdd but my laptop hdd was 700gb. ( my fault I know, but the hdd was only using 75gb!! Tried cloning, auto mode, failed obviously. Tried manual mode cloning, failed. (me setting the partions) Tried all modes including acronis setting the partitions etc. All failed and each try taking 90 mins!!! Solution was to use Windows 10 disk management tools ( disk partition) to reduce my original hdd to 465 gb. This cloned perfectly first time.( auto mode) Installed ssd in laptop, very easy My laptop now boots in 30 seconds and I'm logged in within 40 seconds, even with Windows 10 running its startup rubbish. Its very fast now, a great drive. Saved buying a new laptop! I'm very pleased with this drive, runs cooler now and battery seems to last longer. Excellent well worth it.Read full review

A very good value upgrade. I used it to replace my original HDD in an early 2009 iMac. I first cloned my HDD on the new SSD using a USB2-SATA interface. That understandably took a while, but was done overnight. Once I switched the drives over, the system booted straight away, no issues, and the speedup was sooo noticeable, like a new PC. Another bonus is that the power consumption is much lower and so there is less load on the PSU and much less heat for the cooling system to take out.

All very straightforward with easy to follow instructions. However, after bringing the laptop back to life with the SSD, it goes on to suggest you download the memory manager software. I did this and enabled the cache enhancement, which restarts the computer. In my case however the laptop would not restart and I had to put the SATA drive back in to start then go through the whole process of cloning again taking another hour. Could not contact the online support chat at Crucial it would not accept any email address I entered to register. Pleased either the increased speed of the computer however.
