    You Don’t Need A New Computer – Just The Crucial BX300 SSD

    Ever wonder why your phone works as soon as you push a button, yet your computer takes forever? The reason is simple: Your phone runs on flash memory technology, while your computer runs on an outdated hard drive. It’s possible – in fact, it’s easy – to get the same near-instant speed you expect from your phone out of your computer. Upgrading to the Crucial BX300 SSD is perhaps the easiest way to get all the speed of a new computer without the price. When we say it’s easy, here’s what we mean.

    Easy speed

    Fix your slow computer and feel good about using it again! Load apps and save files immediately with the Crucial BX300, which accesses data over 300% faster than a hard drive.* That’s how you get the immediate responsiveness you expect. Changing your storage drive is the proven way to speed up startup times – making your computer start almost as soon as you press the power button and improving almost every aspect of computer performance.

    Easy efficiency

    Run your computer cooler, quieter, and faster with 45x the energy efficiency of a typical hard drive – and extend your laptop’s battery life.** Reducing system temperatures also helps lengthen the life of your computer and the components within it, which is an inherent advantage of SSD technology. Since SSDs don’t use small mechanical parts that are prone to failure like you’ll find in hard drives, they’re an easy way to improve the health and efficiency of your computer.

    Easy installation

    Opening your computer and updating your storage drive can seem complicated and intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but our straightforward, easy-to-follow instructions and videos make it so anyone can install an SSD! Millions of people worldwide have chosen a Crucial SSD – it really is easy.

    Easy decision: Replace your hard drive

    Booting up, loading things, and transferring and saving files aren’t complicated actions, but a slow and outdated hard drive makes them take forever. SSDs use new flash storage technology to make your computer work almost instantly. You don’t need a new computer – just the Crucial BX300 SSD.

    Micron quality — a higher level of reliability.

    As a brand of Micron, one of the largest flash storage manufacturers in the world, the Crucial BX300 is backed by the same quality and innovation that has produced some of the world’s most advanced memory and storage technologies. Protect your photos, videos, and irreplaceable files from catastrophic hard drive crashes by storing them on inherently more durable Micron 3D MLC NAND. With extensive prerelease validation testing and hundreds of SSD qualification tests, the Crucial BX300 has been thoroughly tried, tested, and proven. You’ll notice the difference.

    *Speed comparison based on published specs of the Crucial BX300 and the 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue internal hard drive (WD10EZEX), which as of June 2017, is one of the industry’s top-selling internal hard drives.

    **Active average power use comparison based on published specs of the 480GB Crucial BX300 SSD and the 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX internal hard drive, which as of June 2017, is one of the industry’s top-selling internal hard drives.

    After building my PC with my HGST 1TB 7200rpm HDD that I have used on my PS4 constantly for Destiny 1 and DLC I was worried about how it would endure.. Well it has lasted years, but this isn't a review about the hard drive, but the SSD I just bought from Crucial. With a small budget a 240-256GB SSD was all I could afford and their competitor rose in price from the hype. I was surprised how light it was and after clean installs I did not notice any performance difference until I used it a lot more. It blew my mind how everything started to run smoothly once my CPU caught up. The Crystal Disk benchmark that I have added shows the magic in their software as well and this is without the additional feature of Over-Provisioning which increases performance and endurance. You could say that it has the same features as their competitor (Samsung) and even excelled in some. No problems have came up after installing many programs(2GB), the OS(18GB), and Destiny 2(35GB). I have more than enough room and will not be needing an upgrade anymore!
