Review: Best sata SSD for ₹2049/-, but there are some things you must know.. - Speed: The speed is as expected and can be used as an external SSD with an enclosure. These are the peak read and write speeds, but in practical usage, speeds rarely match these numbers. During data transfer, I achieved around 470 MB/s write and 510 MB/s read speeds, which is very good. Remember, sata ssds don't go above these speeds, the SATA interface itself is limited in its data transfer capabilities. I purchased this SSD for additional storage for my PC, as I don’t have an extra M.2 slot. It can be used for gaming and performs well, though it’s slightly slower than an NVMe SSD. However, the difference is hardly noticeable during regular use or gaming. If you’re building a new PC, opting for an M.2 NVMe SSD would be better. While slightly more expensive, it’s worth the extra cost for the added performance. For older systems, though, this SSD is a great choice for upgrading storage and improving performance. Compatibility: This SSD is widely compatible with all systems and laptops. Simply connect the cables, and it’s ready to use. If it doesn’t appear in File Explorer, don't worry. Just go to Disk Management, create a new volume from the unallocated space, and format it. Durability: With a 120TBW rating, the SSD can write up to 120 terabytes of data. Durability depends on usage. Heavy write operations- like exporting a large video- will degrade it faster, while light use—like storing a few games—primarily involves read operations, causing minimal wear and extending its lifespan. Price: I managed to get this SSD for ₹2,049 during a sale with a ₹250 coupon, which I consider a lucky deal. If you find it priced around ₹2,199, it's still worth considering. However, if the price is higher, I recommend waiting for discounts, as the price often drops.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the differince between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and the ct1000bx500ssd1?**
A: The difference between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and ct1000bx500ssd1 is that the ct1000bx500ssd1z has "Frustration-Free Packaging" while the ct1000bx500ssd1 has "Standard Packaging". I did some comparison and found that "Standard Packaging" is 2.4 ounces shipping weight while "Frustration-Free Packaging" is 4.2 ounces shipping weight. If you get the ct1000bx500ssd1z it will cost $20 USD more since "Frustration-Free Packaging" may have materials that cost more. I hope this answers your question. :)

**Q: How is it that most of the customer reviews are 1 to 3 stars but Amazon says it has an 87% 5-star rating?  Amazon is becoming a con game.**
A: My experiences are usually shy of five star. Then again Amazon compounds the star rating average to determine how well it actually does in reviews. An example is a SSD I bought, was a 1 TB. However windows reports 925gb and Mac reports 950gb.

**Q: Will this work in a late 2007 macbook?**
A: Hello and thank you for your question. The Crucial CT240BX500SSD1 you are referencing is compatible with the Late 2007 MacBook, so installation and functionality will not be an issue.

**Q: This item fit with dell xps l502x laptop?**
A: Hello, your dell probably comes with a ST9500420AS sata hd, so yes, if your laptop uses a regular off the shelf SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk drive, you can upgrade it with a SSD Crucial Sata.
