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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crucial BX500 480GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT480BX500SSD1 - SABRENT SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (EC-SSHD) - Timetec 8GB DDR3L / DDR3 1600MHz (DDR3L-1600) PC3L-12800 / PC3-12800(PC3L-12800S) Non-ECC Unbuffered 1.35V/1.5V CL11 2Rx8 Dual Rank 204 Pin SODIMM Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory RAM Module Upgrade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/80557563-bx500-480gb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal-ssd](https://www.desertcart.us/products/80557563-bx500-480gb-3d-nand-sata-2-5-inch-internal-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
