Cloned a Linux Drive using Clonezilla on a laptop without a single problem. Worked well, made well. Got a very nice speed increase.

Bricked itself after 5 hours

My Crucial MX500 1TB SSD stopped working after about only 5 hours of use (time to clone an existing drive into it filling about half its capacity, power off then attempt to boot from it). It seems to have bricked itself as plugging it in now results in I/O errors. Any reading attempts times out. Can't return it for a refund since technically my freshly copied data is (most likely) still intact on the flash chips inside. The sticker says it had firmware version M3CR046. RIP(pieces).

Replacing an older laptop 5400rpm hdd with this SSD made the old equipment operate better than new.

I replaced the hardfile in my main computer with one of these six months ago. I decided to buy a second one for a full copy of the existing one. Now if something goes wrong, I can swap the SSD and recover very easily.

Using three of these in my Plex server. All three are still at 100% lifetime remaining, unlike another brand that dropped to 99% after three months. They stay cool and SILENT! I wish Crucial made an 8TB SATA SSD.

Asked by: Mitchell
I cannot answer this with absolute certainty, I have no experience with the Atomos ninja V. I use this for photo and video storage and for that it works great. A sata cable end on one side and a regular USB end on other side, it is plug and play with my laptop. Is it possible to contact Atomos support directly and ask?? That is all I can say. Joe

No, most internal drives don't have that (including this one). That's typical on external drives.

Asked by: Amador
Not being a Mac person, if you go to crucial.com they list all macs and installation videos. I’m happy with my purchase. I use the 1tb for my c drive and the 2tb for my audio orchestral vst’s and their sample libraries.

Will this work on a Asus Tuf Gaming FX505DT-AH51? Does this come with everything i need when i install this? Cloning and whatever cable or connectors needed?
Asked by: Jk
This SSD would work with the motherboard. The motherboard should come with the necessary SATA power and data cables to connect it. Your case should have mounts for it as well.
