Product description
Product Description
The Choice Between Speed and Capacity is Over -- Choose Both
Traditionally, SSDs have offered powerful speeds and extra features, but at a high cost per gigabyte. Enter the Crucial MX100 SSD. Leveraging years of R&D and NAND technology, the Crucial MX100 offers a low cost per GB, combined with unrelenting performance and one of the most complete feature sets available.
Micron Quality -- a High Level of Reliability
As a brand of Micron, one of the largest flash storage manufacturers in the world, the Crucial MX100 is backed by the same quality and innovation that has produced some of the world's most advanced memory and storage technologies. With more than 1,000 hours of pre-release validation testing and hundreds of SSD qualification tests, the Crucial MX100 has been thoroughly tried, tested, and proven. Make the switch to the Crucial MX100 SSD and start outlasting and outperforming your hard drive.
Feature-packed Capacity. Proven Reliability
The Crucial MX100 provides plenty of cost-effective storage for your photos, music, videos, and documents -- all while backing your data with a higher level of reliability than a hard drive or competing SSD.
Note:1 GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual usable capacity may vary.
Run Your System for Longer -- using Less Power
With Extreme Energy Efficiency technology, the Crucial MX100 is up to 89% more energy efficient than a typical hard drive.*
* Hard drive active average power use based on published specs of 1 TB Western Digital Blue WD10JPVX internal hard drive. According to NPD data published February 2014, this was one of the most popular hard drives available and an accurate reflection of a common internal hard drive.
Attain Consistently Fast Speeds without Compromising the Reliability of Your Data
Engineers created RAIN technology to protect your data at the component level, similar to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives. This enterprise-class technology increases the security and protection of your data to a level that's rarely available in consumer-class SSDs.
Keep Your Memories, Photos and Files Safe
When a photo or file gets corrupted, it often becomes unusable. Prevent this from happening in the first place with the Crucial MX100 SSD, which arms every storage component with four layers of Exclusive Data Defense to guard against corrupt files.
Push Your Drive to the Limit and Avoid Overheating.
Adaptive Thermal Protection technology enables the Crucial MX100 to dynamically adjust storage component activity based on how you're using the drive, allowing your system to stay cool and react to changes in use.
Do More -- Faster
Get true 550 MB/s sequential reads on both compressible and incompressible data -- and leave your old 177 MB/s hard drive in the dust.**
**Performance level based on comparative AS SSD benchmark ratings of 512 GB Crucial MX100 SSD and 1 TB Western Digital Blue 7200 RPM hard drive (WD10EZEX-00U). Actual performance levels may vary based on benchmark used and individual system configuration. Test set-up: Intel DZ87KLT-75K motherboard, Intel i7-4770K 3.50GHz processor, BIOS Rev. 0446, and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit operating system using AS SSD test suite.
Save and Transfer Files in Seconds Rather than Minutes
Native Write Acceleration technology spreads the drive's workload across several elements, enabling you to write data in seconds rather than minutes.

Rather than cloning I used the more secure Backup / Recovery approach described in the include Acronis software users’ guide. I used a Western Digital My Book Studio for holding the backup. As this SSD had a bigger capacity than my existing HDD’s 320Gb, I had no need to shrink or omit anything
This worked well once the SSD had been initialised so that it was recognised by the system. This was not clear from the stand alone step by step description of the Backup / Recovery process.
My laptop running Windows 7 32bit now comes out of hibernation mode in a couple of seconds – very impressive & the SSD measured performance is now close to the Windows maximum. Subjectively it seems to have produced a much greater improvement in speed on this laptop than a previous in stallion of a similar but small SSD on my Windows 7 32 bit desktop. Not sure why – might be related to the amount of RAM 16Gb in the Desktop cf 4Gb in the laptop
The capacity of this SSD is easily sufficient to hold all my system, application & data files.
Overall I’m very satisfied.
I bought the 256GB model, and was not disappointed. Admittedly, this is not the fastest SATA 6Gbit/s SSD on the market. Several heavyweight offerings, like Samsung's 850 PRO, out muscle this drive in both synthetic workload tests, and in real world performance. This drive performs admirably though for its cost per GB ratio, which for the 256GB drive at the time of submitting this review, works out at a very reasonable 31p/GB. On a single drive, I achieved around 530MB/s read and 320MB/s write - still light-years ahead of even the fastest mechanical hard drive. I bought two of these for a 512GB RAID0 stripe setup, which practically doubles those numbers, with read speeds in particular shooting north of 1GB/s. Bundled with the drive comes a serial key for a free copy of Acronis drive cloning software - a god send if you don't want to start an OS install all over again, which I certainly didn't.
Reliable, fast, and relatively cheap - partly down to the fact that since Crucial themselves manufacture the Micron NAND found in all their SSDs, they can keep their production costs lower - which for us consumers, translates into a lower retail price.
The veteran M4 was a win for Crucial a few years ago, and this is another win. I certainly think it deserves the full five stars.
I bought this drive to replace the stock Hitachi branded hard drive in my Macbook Pro 2012.
It is very easy to install, all you need to do is to remove all the visible screws from the base and the whole lid just comes off. Keep a note of where each screw goes though as there are two types that vary in length. Once the lid is off, I would recommend that you unplug the battery from the motherboard, which can be found in the bottom right if the battery is on the bottom (you can see the pictures and step by step instructions from ifixit). Replacing the drive is very simple, but remember to transfer the four Torx screws from the old drive to the new one and it simply slots in. This Crucial drive comes with a 9mm spacer, which you do not need if installing into this Macbook.
Plug the battery back into the board and put the lid back on and screw everything back. I re-installed OSX Mavericks back on from an external USB drive. Remember to partition and format the drive during the OS install at the very beginning from the Disk Utility. If you don't, the install won't be able to read the SSD and won't give you an option to install to it.
Now here comes the most important bit. Apple has implemented a "feature" that won't enable TRIM by default for non-Apple installed SSDs. So the first thing you'll notice is that TRIM option will say "No" in System Information. However, there is a rather simple work around. If you search "TRIM OSX Mavericks" in google, it is the first hit from "gist.github.com". There is not need to install any program whatsoever. Just copy and paste the terminal commands and follow the instructions. After a reboot, your brand new Crucial SSD will have TRIM enabled. The instructions to enable TRIM for OSX Yosemite are also there so it does work even with the latest version of OSX.
So my subjective testing of this drive in the Macbook is this. It is stupidly fast! A 6 second boot time and only 6 seconds again to shutdown is blistering. Also, there is very minimal waiting time if any when I launch my applications.
I would highly recommend.
