Customer Review

The Crucial M500 SSD3 provides good benchmark results and does not need to hide behind expensive SSD's and mSATA's.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y580 and there assembled the free mSATA place with Crucial, which was also recognized by the BIOS sofot.

(Relocation of the HDD with Win 7 64bit on the new SSD):
So now came the tricky, the relocation of Sytempartition from the old drive to the new SSD. I read this a lot and prefer to ignore recommendations to install the same everything new, because it really is not necessary unless you have time and inclination themself the whole system.

There are some tools that I do not want all the lists here, to assist in a trouble-free move. I have to Acronis 2014 used the tool, there is up to 30 days free demo, with the move (almost) succeeds perfectly.
Before the system partition so the HDD is protected by Acronis, I recommend the option Verfication of backups with the same set.
Then the mSATA is in installed (there are on YouTube a video that shows how easy it is, "Lenovo Ideapad Y580 mSATA & RAM Installation")
Then the notebook is booted and you should stop by the same Bios whether the Crucial has been recognized properly.
Here's a tip if this is not the case: Notebook reboot, go into the BIOS and make about 20 minutes nothing more. Then, remove the mSATA again, reboot and go into the bios. Then right back out, the use mSATA new, go into the BIOS and make about 20 minutes nothing. Then reboot, after which they should be recognized when the Crucial's fine. Alternatively, I still recommend a BIOS update.

We continue so as always to start win and one last time to enjoy it as slowly and leisurely it of goes to the Windows interface appears ready to work.
So when the time comes, please switch to the Computer Management (Run, management, Computer Management, then Disk Management click) Here you can see the Crucial ever unformatted and unpartitioned see with 111 GB. So we click on the Crucial and confirm Windows the question touching the Crucial.
Now we open Acronis and go to the Recovery Menu. There we find the backup of our system partition of HDD and open the additional "MBR Show". With both a hook must be pure, so backup and MBR. Then we have to announce the volume, so we naturally want to have on your C drive. It is important that extra with indicate otherwise Windows gets confused when booting.
When everything was ready, we set to play the backup on our new SSD. Then reboot and then please immediately switch into the BIOS and change the boot sequence on the new Crucial in the first place. Save bios and enjoy the first boat, which should now boot from the SSD problemos the operating system.

I feel like it noticed that some devices in the device manager had a yellow exclamation mark, for example, the audio drivers, Bluetooth and all processors Symbols my Intel Core. It is advisable to uninstall these drivers, and then re-record. The driver of CPUs please uninstall all. After a reboot, Windows loads the latest drivers again from the internet.
Incidentally, I have the drive of my old system partition of the HDD hidden by I went into Disk Management, and there have removed the drive. (Do not worry, only the display) Remove Right-click on the old partition and drive.
Many sites on the net hit dissolve before the old Partion and perform the space gained back. I think it makes more sense to leave the Partion full, so I need in case of failure of SSD change the boot drive from the BIOS and can continue to operate normally while I send the possibly defective SSD for Hertseller.

Addendum on 23:02:14:
I noticed the display the temperature sensors, eg ChrystalDiskInfo, or Speedfan for Crucial for load up to 65 ° C. Alarmingly much as I find and I did not realize how far the temperature is realistic because Me is no temperature sensor for mSATA available. After opening the cover and measurement with an infrared thermometer (+ thumb!) The temperature was nearly 55 ° C, is of course a little cooled, in the time where I have to cover aufgebschraubt. In the description for the M500 on the Crucial page is the "Operating Temperature" specified with up to 70 ° C. I find that hard and I'm worried that the small board until the end of the warranty period by holding at all. To me that is a bit "to hot" and I pull back from a star. Moreover, the heat generation makes to the small circuit board for additional unwanted heat that still poor escaping from a notebook as a desktop.
By the way. has the MSTA firstonce a stable temperature, achieved by, for example, 55 °! C, a temperature without load is then cooled until again when Win to go into power saving mode, or even the Lappi off.

Nevertheless, I wish a lot of fun when moving, everything is easier than it looks!

ADDENDUM TO HEAT PROBLEM AT 10/24/2014

By using a registry entry under Windows can enable the AHCI link power management for functions HIPM DIPM the SATA interface. This requires the AHCI Mode is enabled in the BIOS, if it is not selected, there is how to AHCI enabled after an operating system installation instructions on the net.
Then select in the Power Options under the new entries in the department hard drive the new entries (HIPM / DIPM) and the delay time before the interface of the SSD / mSATA is sent to the doze state.

(Create a text file, insert below the line and save it as AHCI_Link.reg)

The effect is hard to believe. In idle mode the temperature of 55 ° C falls to 35 ° C under full load and a reduction of up to 15 ° C.
