CrucialT500 1TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 Internal Gaming SSD, Up to 7300MB/s, Laptop & Desktop Compatible + 1mo Adobe CC All Apps - CT1000T500SSD8

Easy to install, flawless performance so far.

One of the best 'quality' PCIe 4 drives available. If you have a laptop, SFF, or even a modded handheld this is THE drive to get. All THREE temps stay within spec. When people review NVMe drives they never look at the controller temps which only show up in HWinFO64 or other similar robust applications. This drive's controller actually stays cool and thus doesn't throttle, even in low or no air flow situations. Other manufacturers can't say the same.Don't worry about chasing sequential speed. Worry more about random 4K and delay. For 95% of people those will show the greatest impact.

I swapped out the stock 512GB M.2 SSD on my HP ProBook 450 15.6 inch G10 Laptop (Model#: 822P5UT#ABA) with this Crucial T500 M.2 SSD and it runs considerably faster now. Booting seems quicker too. The ample storage space is quite nice👌Install was stupid easy and only took a few minutes. You'll need a precision screwdriver set if you're upgrading your laptop.I used a SABRENT USB-C M.2 SSD Enclosure to externally connect this SSD to my laptop in order to clone my old SSD to it (before installing/swapping SSDs). The Acronis drive cloning software (available for free on Crucial's website) is quick and easy to use. You don't need to format the new drive beforehand, the cloning software handles everything.I highly recommend upgrading to one of these Crucial T500 SSDs, it's absolutely worth the money.Side note: If you're upgrading your HP ProBook, there's also a secondary SSD slot next to the battery. The HP specs/datasheet are vague about what size M.2 is compatible for this secondary slot, but some online reviews suggest a shorter form-factor M.2 2230 (the ProBook's primary SSD is a M.2 2280, which is physically longer). This M.2 2230 suggestion appears to be wrong, as I installed one and it isn't long enough to reach the screw hole post (which secures the SSD in place). It still works though and the SSD sits firmly in place, even despite not being screwed down. I haven't had issues with it and I handle my laptop somewhat roughly. Also, if you do decide to install a second SSD, you'll need a screw for the screw post (it doesn't come with one).

The speed was around 6300 but still really fast, it was easy, and a great price. If you are looking for one then get this. I did the research I’ll save you the time

Put a pair of 1TBs into my Synology DS1821+ as read/write cache. Love how it comes pre-installed with a decent heatsink. These high performance nvme SSDs always get hot. They fit perfectly and don't have too much height to them. They sit flush enough that they don't block the HDD cages of my first hot swap bay. These ssds are completely overkill for my use case, but literally buying older gen slower NVME ssds are more expensive than these atm. I am glad they have DRAM, so none of this DRAM-less HMB buffer crap. Should be able to keep up with large sequential writes. The pSLC write cache isn't as large as say the WD SN850X, but its good enough. Idle temps are amazing (26-27C).

it fits fine and it is fast in my Dell Precision 7530 with 32gb ram. My old Toshiba 512gb NVME seemed to be having major problems, windows very slow. It had slowed down a lot from what it had been. I downloaded windows 11 installer media creator for this PC from Microsoft, and booted off the usb and had everything working in about 45 minutes. Hardest thing is to install it into a laptop, and that is not too hard if you have little tiny screw driver. Make sur you have your laptop logged in with a MS account to make for easy setup.

The Crucial 2TB is a high quality nvme that offers a ton of storage capacity, fast boot time and it works well. I am pleased with this product.

For the price, a great deal. Competes with the Samsung 990 Pro. Not quite as fast as the Samsung, but a cost effective solution (and with the heatsink).
