Blazing fast performance, good capacity, at these speeds almost like a RAM upgrade
Bought, used disk genius to duplicate old hard drive, then swapped. It is usually easier to swap a drive than you might think. Remember to use the correct size screwdriver on the screw holding the original drive, and to press reasonably firmly to avoid rounding the screw. If you have managed to rounded the screw like I did the first time I ever did this, use a little TPE tape between the screw and the screwdriver, use the correct size bit, and press firmly and turn.This drive is fully compatible with my Huawei MateBook 14s EVO. The 2TB size is also useful. With casual browsing the drive is sitting at 31 degrees Celsius. The key thing for the best performance is to install Crucial Storage Executive then update the firmware and enable Momentum Cache. At these kind of operating speeds, it's almost like upgrading the RAM itself - which on many laptops, including mine, is not possible as the RAM is soldered to the motherboard.I also tested speed in a USB enclosure, but did not include a picture of this - just worthwhile knowing that the speed is poor in a USB enclosure, clearly the bottleneck is the USB/enclosure itself. If looking for a drive to use exclusively in a USB enclosure, I would recommend going for the cheapest possible with the capacity you need - unless you definitely intend to use it connected to a motherboard or inside a laptop in future. You just will not benefit from the speed of this drive with a USB enclosure.First picture is T500 after updating firmware and enabling momentum cache. Note the massive increase in performance of both read speed and write speed compared with the second picture.Second picture is T500 before.Third picture is the original SSD in my Huawei MateBook 14s EVO (what I upgraded from).

Nice and quick.
Nice and quick. A word of warning though. Make sure your PC BIOS is set to AHCI mode and not RAID as with the latter you will not be able to update Firmware or use any other useful features of the software for it. Knocked a star off because of that.If you are cloning then this can still be done but involves a few steps. Go into msconfig, set minimal boot, boot up to BIOS, change BIOS to AHCI, Boot to Windows (now in safe mode), Back into MSCONFIG and set back to "Normal Startup" and deselect Minimal Boot, Reboot and all is good and you can now use storage executive.
