SOLID STATE DRIVES

Flash forward to the next chapter in storage. 

It’s 

• 

more durable

 than a traditional hard drive.

It requires 

• 

less power

 for longer notebook battery life.

It eliminates latency issues and delivers overall 

• 

faster  

  response times.

Its 

• 

rugged design

 is tolerant of extreme shock and  

  vibration and harsh temperature conditions.

BENEFITS:

Introducing  the  Crucial™  SSD  (Solid  State  Drive)—a  flash-based  hard  drive 
alternative that’s redefining mobile computing!  An SSD is more reliable, faster, 
and  more  durable  than  traditional  magnetic  hard  drives,  giving  notebook 
users  longer  battery  life,  improved  reliability,  and  more  responsive  system 
performance. 

Featuring an industry-standard 2.5” form factor, the Crucial SSD has no moving 
parts. That means lower latency for faster boot times and application loads, 
lower power consumption, less heat, and no noise. It offers a host data transfer 
rate of up to 3Gb/s. Plus, it delivers overall system performance improvements 
with  read  speeds  up  to  100MB/s  and  write  speeds  up  to  60MB/s—and  the 
rugged,  shock-and  vibration-resistant,  temperature-tolerant  design  hangs 
tough in even the most extreme operating environments. 

Crucial  is  the  trusted  name  in  memory  upgrades  backed  by  industry-leading 
warranties and outstanding service and support. And now, we’re the company 
with the best SSD information and products for your needs. 

Why adopt SSD technology?

SSDs  (solid  state  drives)  utilize  non-volatile  flash  memory  for  computing 
applications that otherwise rely upon a mechanical hard disk drive. 

It’s not just for mobile users. 

The advantages reach beyond the notebook, too.  Our innovative SK01 external 
storage kit integrates an SSD into your standard desktop PC and allows it to 
act as a portable USB storage device. At work, at home, or on the road—With 
Crucial SSD drives, the latest in storage technology is yours in a flash.
