What you get

With real speeds up to 540MB/s read and 500MB/s write, the transition from HDD to this SSD means much faster loading of Windows, games, and applications. The 1TB capacity allows you to comfortably keep the operating system, several heavy games, and work files in one place, without constantly cleaning up.

The included software Acronis True Image for Crucial (for download) makes cloning from an old drive significantly easier, especially if you are migrating your system.
