## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the differince between the ct1000bx500ssd1z and the ct1000bx500ssd1?**
A: 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. :)

**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.
