According to our solid state drive (SSD) expert
Note: this 2.5-inch SSD has a SATA interface and only works if your system supports SATA. Check this in the manual of your laptop or motherboard.
The Crucial MX500 500GB 2.5 inches is an internal SSD which you can use to expand the storage capacity of your laptop. Thanks to the 64-layer 3D NAND technology, the SSD is more energy-efficient than the MX300 series. As a result, your laptop lasts longer on a single charge. This drive reads at 560MB/s. That's 30MB/s faster than the MX300 SSD to open large files such as movies and graphic design projects. A 2GB video takes 4 seconds to transfer. Thanks to the AES 256-bit hardware encryption, you protect your movie collection, holiday photos, and study or work documents from hackers and data theft. On top of that, the automatic error correction and recovery in case of power loss ensures your files won't be damaged and are saved when you have a power outage.

With this SSD, my 5 year old laptop (i7 - 1st gen.) is super fast again.

Fully compatible with the HDD it replaces. Used as a startup disk in a Mac Mini late 2012, installation no problem, works great. Full boot is now faster than waking from sleep with the old HDD.
Longevity will have to show but very happy with purchase.

Used as a replacement for an HDD in a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 - ran effortlessly and made a world of difference in speed after the upgrade.
