Or if you’d rather have everything in one place, choose one of our larger sizes. Whichever capacity you choose, our selection ensures that you’re able to find a drive that’s the right combination of storage, performance, & price. Consistently fast speeds. No exceptions. No matter what kind of files you’re working with on a Crucial SSD, you’ll experience high speeds with no drop in performance across different file types. Unlike other SSDs on the market, Crucial SSDs treat all files the same, regardless of whether they’re compressed or uncompressed. While many SSDs on the market achieve faster speeds by using file compression, many of the most common file types can’t be compressed, resulting in SSDs that often deliver slower speeds than advertised. This is important because the files most people use every day – videos, mp 3s, advanced graphic files & zip files
- are compressed files & thus unable to be compressed any further. With a Crucial SSD, the specs we advertise are the same specs you’ll see in the real world. Crucial SSDs. Performance you can trust. As a brand of Micron, one of the largest NAND manufacturers in the world, Crucial SSDs are designed & developed in-house. 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. With our multi-billion dollar commitment to NAND development, our record of patent & process innovation, & our award-winning customer support team, we’re dedicated to quality. For you, that means your SSD has been designed with cutting-edge technology & it’s been rigorously tested & approved. Don’t settle for anything less.
