Whats the differince between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and the ct1000bx500ssd1?

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. :)

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.

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.

Will this work in a late 2007 macbook?

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.

This item fit with dell xps l502x laptop?

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.
