    Great hard drive, but Crucial Installation instructions don't cover install as an expansion drive

    Great hard drive, but Crucial Installation instructions don't cover install as an expansion drive
    My ACER ES-576-G laptop came with a 256 gb SSD, with an easy to access expansion slot for a 2nd HDD. So I elected to 'go big' and get this monster 2 Tb SSD drive for the expansion slot.Physical installation was easy - I had also bought the spacer kit that ACER sells separately for the expansion slot. However, when I fired up the laptop - I did not see the drive in Windows 10. I had that sinking feeling in my stomach - what went wrong?There was a support sheet Crucial provided with the drive, with a link to the support webpage. I pulled up the page, but the instructions only referred to the installation of the drive as a primary drive, not a secondary expansion drive. So that did not solve my issueI had to do some quick web searches (fortunately, the inactive secondary drive didn't impair the function of my laptop) I learned that I had to open the Windows utility -compmgmt.msc - initialize the drive, and then create a new volume on the drive, for it to work. For details - do a search for 'initialize new hard drive'That took about 5 minutes - and the drive was ready to use.Drive is blisteringly fast - I got 560 mB read AND write speed with CrystalDisk Mark 6 without Momentum Cache enabled.AND, anyone buying this drive should download Crucial Storage Executive and use it to enable a feature called "Momentum Cache" - which greatly speeds operations for normal sized files. Look at the benchmark speeds with Momentum Cache enabled which I attached- nearly 3 Gb per sec read AND write speeds on the first level.So in summary, great performing drive. Just should have better instructions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Huge capacity SSD in no nonsense packaging.
    Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2019
    This is my fourth Crucial SSD, and by a big margin the biggest one I've ever owned. Unlike previous iterations, this one does not disappoint in synthetic benchmarks and easily match the performance of both my 1TB Samsung 850 Evo and 1TB Samsung 860 Evo. I've yet to have a failure with any Crucial SSD so (knock on wood) I hope the tradition continues.

    The frustration free packaging was also a welcome change from the usual fancy colored boxes (that can't be very environmentally friendly). From tearing the pull tab from right to left, I was relaxed the whole way through and did not feel the need to curse like a sailor. Unlike most Samsung SSDs, the Crucial actually comes bundled with 9mm spacer so that you can use this drive on older hardware. I can't say it will be very useful in the years to come but hey, they included one for free.

    The only (small) disappointment I had with this drive is the lack of clippable notches for securing SATA and Power connectors. If you were like me seeking for that exquisite "click" when connecting your SATA peripherals, don't bother. I felt guilty for pushing the connector with such tremendous force only to realize my "click" would never come to fruition. Considering that practically all my current SSD drives (Crucial C300/M4/MX100, Intel 320/730, Samsung 850 Evo/860 Evo) all had clip-able ports, the connection to the MX500 just does not feel as secure as it should be.

    Overall, this is a great drive with huge capacity and top-tier SATA performance. I can recommend without hesitation. 5/5
