Does not work with Atomos Ninja V

Does not work Atomos Ninja V. I bought this to use with my Ninja5 and this drive could not keep up with the Ninja 5. I would get the Yellow "skippy" icon meaning my ninja would stop recording because the drive was too slow. Other than that its an ok drive.

Great way to upgrade older computers.

These Crucial SSDs are outstanding! We've used these to upgrade a bunch of ageing desktops and we're very happy with the results. The Acronis cloning software for these makes the process relatively painless.

It is a great budget SSD, speeds are what you would expect for a budget drive. I put this in an old laptop to give it life and it is working great.

Great SSD but Acronis Image D/L was Useless

First time user of any SSD and this disk was surprisingly quiet and easy to attach to my computer. I ordered the SSD Install Kit which included instructions to download Acronis Image. Acronis was useless! I spent hours trying different 3rd party software to copy/clone my OS to the SSD from a larger HD. Before I could use the SSD as a boot disk, I had to reduce HD partition sizes to clone partitions to SSD. I used Macrium Reflect and MiniTool Partition to accomplish these tasks to create an OS disk.

Good fast drive, good fast transaction!

at $ is was a great deal to resurrect a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro. It brought the performance WAY up, and seems to be a pretty stable drive. Very satisfied. It confirms the adage that a computer is only as fast as its slowest component!
