This SSD works very well and is good value for money. Perfect for "waking up" an old laptop.
The SSD works very well but BEWARE: the actual size available is less than that of a 500GB mechanical HDD... (450GB real for the SSD against 470GB for the mechanical HDD)
So if like me you plan to buy it to upgrade your old computer to SSD, it will only work with an old drive with a capacity of less than 500GB (e.g. 250GB). (Otherwise, get a 1TB SSD instead!)
This disk was very easy to install and gave life back to a pc that is equipped with one of the first quadecore; the boot was in 30 seconds under Windows 7 64 bits
Very good product to give a second life to an 11 year old MacBook. I have an identical ssd running for the same reasons on another MacBook and I am very happy with it.
Good product, has greatly improved the startup of Windows as well as all installed programs
I bought this SSD to replace a Samsung 500GB SSD that failed after a month (bought from a competitor of LDLC). It has been working well for a month, but I was disappointed to discover its consumption indicated on the shell: 1.7 amps when the Samsung was only supposed to consume 1.2 amps. Not a big deal for a laptop installation, a bit worrying as a peripheral for a Raspberry PI powered with 2.5 amps.
I couldn't find this power consumption information on either the LDLC or Crucial websites.
As usual, the product arrived on time and in good condition. I recommend this site without hesitation.
For the Toshiba which is equipped with it it is a new youth
It supports ubuntu 22 without any problem
This is a good intermediate quality product. I took it to boost my Thinkpad T510 because this hardware was perfectly compatible with it. It does the job perfectly.
Ideal holder for a laptop.
Excellent read and write speed and very reasonable capacity.
For a fixed installation, opt for a RAID.
