Questions about Crucial Mx300

I know this. Digitec sent me 2 Samsung 850 Pro (2048GB, 2.5") in an inferior envelope, unregistered. 😢 I then complained to customer service. Apparently they haven't learned anything. 😝

I used it on an macbook pro 2011 and worked without problem.

sure, no problem.

In principle, yes, you can use them, they fit the connections. However, the Caddys are suitable for 3.5 inch SSD/HDD. You may have received an adapter for this. However, the SSD is neither on the QNAP compatibility list nor does it make sense to install it. Because the maximum throughput of this small NAS is only about 220mb/sec anyway. If I were you, I would install two normal sata HDDs. Which are suitable for 24/7 operation.

The Macbook Pro 2015 does not have an M.2 slot. You need a special SSD for it, which is unfortunately also more expensive. OWC Aura SSD 1TB Upgrade Kit (1000GB) Transcend JetDrive 850 (480GB)

No, it's not. You have to look at OWC, they build SSDs for Macbooks. I had one in my retina Macbook Pro from 2012 OWC Aura SSD 1TB (SSD Only) (1000GB) (You have a "MacbookAir7,1" if it is from 2015).

Yes, the installation works with a little skill; the connections are not the problem. However, Apple has installed original SATA hard disks in this series, which have a special pin assignment for reading the temperature. If you don't use an original Apple HD, the fans rev up to maximum speed, even if normal temperatures prevail inside the device. This is annoying! You can solve this problem with software or freeware (e.g. Macs Fan Control). However, I prefer the hardware solution from macsales in the USA. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/KITIM11HE120 They offer a special data cable that has an Apple-compatible temperature sensor. With this cable, the fan behaviour is like the original. The good thing about the hardware solution is that it always runs reliably, regardless of the operating system and any updates. iFixit also has the sensor in its programme and also provides step-by-step installation instructions: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/iMac-Intel-21-5-Inch-and-27-Inch-Mid-2011-SSD-Upgrade-Bundle/IF174-032-1

No, you need special components for that, which are unfortunately much more expensive. The components from the Aura series from OWC Digital, for example, are readily available.

Installed in my iMac 2009, HD upgraded from 500gb to 1000 Gb, works flawlessly since 2-3 years, I am satisfied

Yes, just unscrew the bottom and you can see the hard disk. Simply unscrew the screws and replace them with the SSD.

Simble answer; only with adapter from m2.Sata to Sata

No. The MacBooks use a special interface and not an M.2 interface. The following product would be compatible with your MacBook Air: OWC Aura SSD 1TB (SSD Only) (1000GB)

I have updated a similar notebook. It was worth it from my point of view. I would do it again.

according to this link: https://www.acer.com/ac/de/DE/content/model/NH.Q2QEV.006 this device has a 1 TB HD in addition to the 256gb ssd, so I assume you want to replace it, so there should be no reason not to.

Hm, SATA M.2 and PCIe M.2. are not the same, I guess you need a PCIe M2 SSD, but this Crucial is SATA. The WD Black would be worth a try. All information without guarantee...

Yes, the Crucial MX300 is compatible with the Lenovo Y700. However, the existing 128GB m.2 SSD must be removed. It is therefore advisable to order an m.2 USB adapter so that the system partition can be cloned onto the new hard drive beforehand.

I cannot answer your question directly. However, I would like to point out the following: I have often had the experience that a migration from a hard disk to an SSD worked badly and generally recommend re-setting the computer. This is clearly better in the long term and improves performance in general, as not all the rubbish is copied as well.

Yes, it is compatible. You can use the same cable. There are no cables with it.

Yes it works perfectly with your Mac (I installed it on an identical model) unfortunately the life of the 2009 MBP13 is severely compromised as no more MacOs X updates and a lagging processor. Personally I would keep the money and buy a new laptop soon.

Yes, no problem.

In principle, yes. However, I recommend that when you ask such questions, you always specify which laptop you actually own, then this could be said with a guarantee.

That sounds like a bit of tinkering (with an additional adapter). Have a look here on youtube, it should work but I wouldn't guarantee anything. Youtube: P5osw0UBN2U

Don't think so. I boght an Samsung EVO and there only was the SSD itself

Well, I have everything on 1 ssd and it is much faster than on a hard disk if that was the question. It shouldn't make a (big) difference if you use 2 ssds or put everything on one. the os is used mainly at the beginning when booting and after that hardly or not at all. In any case, I would recommend installing the games on an SSD. However, the M.2 SSD you have chosen is no faster than a standard 2.5" SSD. However, if you chose the M.2 because it takes up less space, I haven't said anything.

I looked, and it's true that there is still a second M.2 slot under the existing one (http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2017/5/0e407308-eaa0-4bfc-a3ec-4fefc6b3e0f0.png). This is an MKey M.2 and therefore the Crucial MX 300 would work.

If the product manual of the HP is telling you that it accepts the m.2 2280 slot then you should be okay to install it. if you check the currently installed SSD is a Samsung PM851 M.2 that according to Samsung has the 2280 form factor http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/global/file/product/Datasheet_PM851_M2_v12.pdf so the Crucial MX300 will fit in thew Notebook form factor wise. (Hardware Layer) What I cant tell you if it will be 100% supported on the logical layer (Software). I think best is to call HP Support maybe they have some internal HW compatibility list...

Yes so as I know
