I have a Samsung SSdrive the same size the Samsung software is far easier to use and has more features. The acronis software download would not work to clone my hard drive. My previous drive was larger than the Crucial SSD but I had no problem with my Samsung drive and software. I had to download a third party software to clone this drive. Wasted a lot of time trying to make the acronis software do the cloning. If it doesn't work for you save yourself a lot of time and get a 3rd party cloning software. I have only had the drive installed for a few hours so I don't realy know how reliable it is. The reviews say it is reliable. Well its been many years now & ive had no problem with the SSD.

Easy to transfer data from existing hard drive using USB 3.0 SATA cable and transfer software. Computer loads in a fraction of the time, runs silently and stays cool. This simple upgrade has extended the useful life of my laptop. Only wish I had done it sooner!

I have been looking for SSD with good price and bigger than 256GB, most with reasonable price today are 250GB and since my old SSD that need to be replaced is 256GB, it had become a challenge. Crucial solves the problem and comes with pretty good clone tool. All cloned great with extra storage is a plus.

having purchased and installed 2 Crucial M300 256gb HDD's I needed another. The only difference this time was having Windows 10 x64 as opposed to Windows 7 x64 with my other purchases. I cloned my hard drive and copied it to the MX300. booted right up, and all was good, until my system began locking up/freezing. long story short, you will need to look at your SATA drivers. the Microsoft installed driver under Windows 10 was the culprit. I updated with a driver from Intel, and installed under safe mode. rebooted and lock up/freezing was gone. I also found at Crucial's site a new firmware released the day i received my MX300, that addressed some issues under Win10. these are good drives, just check your system and have drivers and the latest firmware installed before you clone or install Win 10.Read full review

used crucial executive which is a free download tool. Prior to that I experienced a lot of computer freeze ups where I had to pull the power plug to kill the tasks which showed 100% disc utilization. afterwards there have been zero freezes.
