Breathed new life into my old laptop.

Breathed new life into my old laptop.
I have a new acer nitro laptop this April that I have almost fully upgraded. So I decided to put windows 10 back on my old 2011 HP pavilion G6 from scratch because she was full of viruses. I wanted to use her as a backup to take to places that I wouldn't want to have worry about breaking it or it getting stolen like my new laptop. I had windows 10 on it before years ago but don't remember it being this slow. I mean it was unbearably slow. I guess windows 10 now with all the new updates requires better specs than it did in the beginning. I already have her ram fully upgraded to 8GB so the only other option was an SSD. I've had trouble with western digital in the past so this time the price was right and I've heard many good things about crucial so I decided to buy this drive. I actually bought a 2 TB drive for my nitro as well. I knew it would speed up my pc but man whoa was I ever pleased. It actually sped up this pc to the point that opening programs and folders and windows load times was not that much worse than my new laptop. To say I'm impressed is an understatement for sure. It actually made my laptop seem like a brand new pc to tell you the truth. The original drive had transfer speeds of about 80 MB/s but this one on crystal disk mark says 558.8 MB/s read and 470 write. As SSD the benches were a little lower and more realistic. The read on that benchmark was 503 MB/s and write was 445 MB/s. Still very good for a laptop that turned 10 years old last month. I never actually tried it for gaming but gave it 5 stars anyway. I know it will be good because it can transfer fast. So it will load games fast as well. Games from this laptop's era would probably take a few seconds to load now. It won't speed up my nitro because she already has 2 NVME drives in her which are really fast. It's just extra storage. 5 star SSD I definitely recommend especially if you're upgrading an old pc like me.

Capacity : 500GBVerified Purchase
I bought this Crucial MX500 to replace a very old 1st generation SanDisk SSD, which held 128 GB. With the Windows 10 Pro OS and several large software packages used daily and creating files, the SanDisk was a bit small - it had come in my "daily driver," a refurbished Lenovo T430 i7 with 8 GB of RAM. I'd been watching for a good quality but larger SSD for the C: drive. When the MX500 went on sale at a very good price, I bought it. I'd checked out reviews of this drive on several sites I trust - all had rated it very highly. I was not able to do the install immediately - my USB-SATAIII transfer cable had gone where the odd socks are, so I needed another to do the clone and swap. (A word of caution: make sure the "clone" cable you get is has the correct connectors for your drive). I looked at a couple of good videos and articles on transferring the system drive in Win 10, then downloaded the Acronis software package provided as part of the Crucial MX500 purchase. Just for safety's sake, I also made a bootable Windows System Recovery USB stick, using the tools on Microsoft's web site. All the instructions provided in the Crucial package were straightforward and writtenin easy, plain-language steps with illustrations. The supplied Acronis "clone" software installed easily, and stepped through the procedure with very specific instructions. I connected both the new and old SSD drives as suggested, then started the cloning process and went off to have a coffee. The whole job was finished and the cloned drive error-checked automatically in under 30 minutes. I tested the new drive to make sure it started up correctly, which it did with no problems. After that, it was simply a matter of re-installing the mounting screws on the drive bay with the supplied spacer, and storing the old 128 GB drive into a static-safe bag. I'm keeping it as an emergency boot-up device, since the process leaves the old drive intact. It isn't large enough to be of much use on any other system, and it is very old - SSD's have a finite number of read-write cycles before starting to have errors. So, it's there for emergencies. I found that the new MX500 was considerably faster in both start-up and operation than the old 1st generation SSD - I'm sure the technology has improved, and the drive has more space for cache purposes. I did not have to re-register anything on the Microsoft web site. The only other thing I noticed was that several of my regular online sites accessed by web browser asked for an extra "confirmation" step when I logged in. This happened over 2 successive days, and after that I'd apparently proved that I'm still me, so the requests for additional login validation stopped. This was a minor thing - I was actually rather glad to see that there was that level of extra security on those few sites. To sum up, this SSD, in the 2.5" form factor for older laptops, is a very good choice as far as ease of cloning and installation. The Acronis software supplied by Crucial worked perfectly and quickly. The instructions were clear, with pictures, and well written. Getting the drive while on sale was an nice bonus. The performance of the new MX500 is much better than the 10-year-old SSD it replaced - overall probably 30-35% faster. Five stars all around for the Crucial MX500 SATAIII 2.5" SSD.
