## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the differince between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and the ct1000bx500ssd1?**
A: The difference between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and ct1000bx500ssd1 is that the ct1000bx500ssd1z has "Frustration-Free Packaging" while the ct1000bx500ssd1 has "Standard Packaging". I did some comparison and found that "Standard Packaging" is 2.4 ounces shipping weight while "Frustration-Free Packaging" is 4.2 ounces shipping weight. If you get the ct1000bx500ssd1z it will cost $20 USD more since "Frustration-Free Packaging" may have materials that cost more. I hope this answers your question. :)

**Q: How is it that most of the customer reviews are 1 to 3 stars but Amazon says it has an 87% 5-star rating?  Amazon is becoming a con game.**
A: My experiences are usually shy of five star. Then again Amazon compounds the star rating average to determine how well it actually does in reviews. An example is a SSD I bought, was a 1 TB. However windows reports 925gb and Mac reports 950gb.

**Q: Will this work in a late 2007 macbook?**
A: Hello and thank you for your question. The Crucial CT240BX500SSD1 you are referencing is compatible with the Late 2007 MacBook, so installation and functionality will not be an issue.

**Q: This item fit with dell xps l502x laptop?**
A: Hello, your dell probably comes with a ST9500420AS sata hd, so yes, if your laptop uses a regular off the shelf SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk drive, you can upgrade it with a SSD Crucial Sata.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic SSD, horrible cloning software.
*by P***E on August 15, 2025*

I've been a longtime fan of Crucial memory products, so trying this SSD out to give my old P920 some new life was a no-brainer. It's a fantastic SSD, with excellent capacity and performance., The executive software that allows you to tweak various performance characteristics of the drive is great - make sure to download it from the Crucial site when you have it installed. Regrettably, my enthusiasm does not extend to Crucial's recommendation of the Acronis software for cloning your boot drive. It simply did not work for me. I was moving a 5 TB drive to the 4 TB drive. Only 1.1 TB of the original hard drive was in use, so it should have been no problem. But the Acronis software couldn't handle it - it said there wasn't enough room on the 4 TB Crucial drive to store the 1.1 TB of stuff from my HD! What's worse is that it took about 4 hours for the Acronis software to decide it couldn't do what I wanted. I was able to use the free utility, DiskGenius, to clone the drive. It worked great, cloning all the partitions, including the rescue partition, adjusting them proportionally. If you have trouble with Acronis, give this a try.
