Crucial CT512M550SSD1 M550 512GB 2.5inch SATAIII SSD

Product Description

Do more. Faster. Longer. A breakthrough in innovation, the Crucial® M550 SSD is over 20 times faster than a typical hard drive* & consumes significantly less power. It enables your computer to boot up almost immediately, load files & programs almost instantly, accelerate demanding applications, & manage power more efficiently so your battery lasts longer. Backed by the most advanced feature set available – Native Write Acceleration, RAIN technology, Adaptive Thermal Protection, hardware-based encryption, & our exclusive data integrity algorithm – the Crucial M550 delivers a complete performance gain that’s measured by far more than just specs. Consistently fast speeds. No exceptions. Every manufacturer has ideas about how to deliver better performance. Some use file compression schemes, but those don’t help video, audio, or graphic files that are already compressed. Some steal system memory to improve a slow drive. The Crucial M550 treats all files the same, regardless of whether they’re compressed or uncompressed, so the specs we advertise are the same ones you’ll see in real world use: true 550 MB/s sequential reads across all file types. Save on power costs & enjoy longer battery life. Run your system longer than ever before – & use less power. Based on published specs, a common laptop hard drive uses 2.5 watts of power on an average workload, compared to 0.15 watts on the Crucial M550 (which is up to 94% more energy efficient).** In everyday terms, this means significantly more battery life & substantial savings on power costs. Secure & protect your data – with no loss in performance. You probably save lots of sensitive & personal information on your computer – encrypt it & keep it safe. As a self-encrypting drive, the Crucial M550 incorporates the highest level of hardware encryption into the controller, allowing the drive to operate at full speed without the performance loss associated with software-based encryption. The Crucial M550 is one of the only drives on the market to meet the rigorous requirements of TCG Opal 2.0, IEEE-1667, & Microsoft® e Drive®. Micron quality – a higher level of reliability. As a brand of Micron, one of the largest flash storage manufacturers in the world, the Crucial M550 is backed by the same quality & innovation that has produced some of the world’s most advanced memory & storage technologies. With over a thousand hours of prerelease validation testing & hundreds of SSD qualification tests, the Crucial M550 has been thoroughly tried, tested, & proven for the most demanding applications.
