How to choose an SSDFour questions decide almost every SSD purchase — what fits, how big, how fast, and how much it should cost.NVMe or SATAWhich interface your machine takes, how to tell without opening it, and what the speed difference actually buys you.How much SSD capacity you actually needHow to size a drive from what you already use, why leaving headroom matters, and when one bigger drive beats two small ones.M.2 sizes and SSD form factorsWhat 2280, 2242, and 2.5-inch mean, which one your machine takes, and how to check the keying before you buy.What SSD speed numbers actually tell youSequential versus random performance, why the number on the box describes the rarer case, and how to read it without being misled.PCIe generations for SSDsWhat Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 change, why a newer drive always works in an older slot, and when the extra speed is worth paying for.TLC, QLC, and DRAM-less SSDsWhat the NAND type and the controller's cache change about how a drive behaves, and when either is worth caring about.SSD endurance and warrantiesWhat TBW and DWPD actually promise, how much a normal machine writes, and when endurance is worth paying extra for.How to install an SSDFitting an M.2 or 2.5-inch drive, choosing between cloning and a clean install, and what to check on the first boot.When an SSD price is actually goodWhy price per terabyte beats any discount percentage, and why a good price on one capacity says nothing about the others.
What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- At launch, reviewers said it delivered NVMe throughput that comfortably beat SATA at a low price, suiting it to a cheap boot drive.
- It carries a five-year warranty and includes Crucial's Storage Executive and Acronis cloning software.
- Its single-sided layout and low power draw were noted as making it a good fit for thin laptops.
- Owners find it inexpensive and a large jump over a hard drive or older SATA SSD, especially for boot and load times.
- Several owners report easy installation and straightforward cloning as a boot drive.
- Owners who use it as a secondary game or media drive call it good value when bought on sale.
Commonly criticised
- Crucial later swapped the TLC flash for QLC under the same name and model number, cutting sustained write speed to hard-drive-like levels.
- Reviewers advised against buying it because the shipped hardware no longer matched the performance they had originally measured.
- Owners note the lack of a DRAM cache means write speeds drop once the cache fills, making it a poor fit as a primary OS or cache drive.
- An owner found the bundled cloning software did not work and used a third-party tool instead.
