WhatÂ’s an M.2 SSD & why does it matter? As systems & devices become increasingly space constrained, demand is increasing for smaller SSDs. Enter the M.2 form factor thatÂ’s designed for ultrabooks & tablets. Unlike m SATA, M.2 allows NAND components to be fitted to either side of the PCB, enabling significantly larger capacities in a smaller form factor. The M.2 standard also moves beyond the space & design limitations of the m SATA single lane I/O interface, while offering support for both SATA & PCIe configurations. Micron Quality Crucial is a brand of Micron & our SSDs are designed & developed in-house by one of the largest NAND manufacturers in the world. This means four things: hundreds of SSD qualification tests, over a thousand hours of prerelease validation testing, 1.5 billion dollars invested in R&D, & more than 30 years of industry expertise. Adaptive Thermal Protection Greater thermal management enables the Crucial M500 to work with the host computer to dynamically adjust power consumption based on usage demands, which helps address the cooling challenges of ultra-small, thermally constrained systems. Hardware Data Encryption The Crucial M500 SSD offers top-level hardware-based encryption, enabling enhanced data security. Our AES 256-bit hardware encryption engine & TCG Opal 2.0 compliant firmware allow the drive to operate at full speed without the performance loss thatÂ’s typically found in drives that use software-based encryption technology ...

200-pin SODIMM DDR 200-pin SODIMM: Approx. 2.625 in. by 1.25 in. (66.7 mm by 31.75 mm) DDR2 200-pin SODIMM: Approx. 2.625 in. by 1.18 in. (66.7 mm by 30 mm) A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller & thinner than regular DIMMs. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a connection between the module & a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front & back of a SODIMM are not connected. 200-pin SODIMMs are used to provide DDR & DDR2 SDRAM memory for notebook computers. 200-pin SODIMMs are available in PC2700 DDR SDRAM, PC3200 DDR SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM & DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM. To use DDR or DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 200-pin SODIMM slots & a DDR- or DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR or DDR2 SODIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM SODIMM socket. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor tool.) The number of black components on a 200-pin SODIMM can vary, but it always has 100 pins on the front & 100 pins on the back, for a total of 200. 200-pin SODIMMs are Approx. 2.625 inches long & 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. Like 144-pin SODIMMs, 200-pin SODIMMs have one small notch within the row of pins; however, the notch on the 200-pin SODIMMs is closer to the left side of the module. ...

240-pin DIMM Approx. 5.25 in. by 1.18 in. (133.35 mm by 30 mm) A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module & a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front & back of a DIMM are not connected to each other. 240-pin DIMMs are used to provide DDR2 SDRAM memory for desktop computers. DDR2 is a leading-edge generation of memory with an enhanced architecture that allows it to transmit data very fast. Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules). (The Ballistix & Ballistix Tracer high-performance memory do not come in 72-bit or registered modules. Standard DDR2 240-pin DIMMs are available in DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM, & PC2-6400 SDRAM To use DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots & a DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR2 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket. The number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 120 pins on the front & 120 pins on the back, for a total of 240. 240-pin DIMMs are Approx. 5.25 inches long & 1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, & 168-pin DIMMs are Approx. the same size, 240-pin DIMMs & 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins. The notch in a 240-pin DDR2 DIMM is closer toward the center of the module. ...
