Does this work with a Crucial M500 ssd without desolder? is it P&P?

Armando. Yes to both (I bought to use with an M500), however, this unit is designed to be plugged into a 2.5" external drive enclosure. I use one from StarTech. The M500 plugs into this board. You then insert the board into the external drive enclosure as you would with a SATA drive. Then plug into your computer using USB. It will be recognized as a drive and you can format, clone, whatever.

I have used this board with many different mSATA devices, and never had any problems. Have not tried the Crucial M500, but every drive I have tried it was P&P.; Have used Smart Modular, Samsung, Micron, and Sandisk devices.

I tried this with a lot of different mSata SSD´s and so far so good. should be transparent if you have a mSata SSD.

It worked with a HP 32G SSD I got off ebay. Would think the SSD connections would be standard. It was plug & play for me, using a linux OS.

If the slot you have is for "mSATA" then this card will work. If it has what is called a "M.2" slot then that requires a different type of SSD card since the connector size is different. Best to refer to your motherboard manual just to be sure since not all motherboards have support for these.

it will work great on any desktop with that supports SATA. If your case doesn't have 2.5" mounting brackets, then you can either buy an adapter (as others have pointed out) or just use tape, velcro, or tie wraps to hold it in place anywhere in the case. There are no moving parts, and it doesn't need to be held in place that securely. I've had my SSD sitting loosely in the hard drive bay of my case for years without any problems.

I can't say for certain if it does or not. But one way you should be able to tell is by checking the pins to see if they match; on your motherboard and on the drive. Most mSATA SSD ports should be compatible with most mSATA SSDs though.

Yes it does, you can see a full third party review of the drive here http://solid-state-drive-review.toptenreviews.com/crucial-m500-review.html

Yes. It works with any SSD. The faster the SSD the better. Get at least 250 GB since its architecture is faster than the 120 GB.Good luck.

As per info from Crucial, the M500 is indeed MLC... http://www.crucial.com/store/ProductMarketing_m500.aspx

Indeed I did not see any MX500 on Crucial's website. There is the M500, the M550, and the latest MX100. The are subtle differences between them, and even in the same model, for example, writing speeds vary according to capacity... With so many subtle "differences", it's hard to say which is best. There is also the matter of the price to take into account. I suggest you read this review by TechReport, which also has reviews for the other two SSDs. Loads of tech info to weave through.http://techreport.com/review/26532/crucial-mx100-solid-state-drive-reviewed

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

It should, I've only used it with a crucial mSATA drive but it has standard screw mounts for them. Just be aware that this converts to the rarely used 1.8" form factor.

Technically yes. But this model has crap firmware that seems to have issues, at least with mac.

But 480 functionalGB is better than a 512GB brick.

No but this one is. I bought it installed it and it works fine. you have to crack the end off but it doesn't damage the drive. KingSpec 32GB PATA PCIe SSD Solid State PCI-E Drive For Dell Mini9 910 900 Akd http://compare.ebay.com/like/171023843453?var=lv&ltyp;=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var;=sbar

This Adapter is suitable for mSATA (Mini SATA) only. I do not know about the interface of your Sandisk SSD.

Yes it support Solid State Drives (SSD), the 120GB Kingston SSDNow V300 and Crucial M5 have the best prices right now (around $0.66 per GB)
