The award-winning Crucial m4 Solid State Drive delivers powerful performance gains for SATA 6Gb/s systems. Designed to empower your system, the Crucial 64GB m4 SATA 6Gb/s 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive offers faster application load times, faster boot times, and increased durability compared to a traditional hard drive. The results speak for themselves: blazing-fast sequential read speeds of up to 500 MB/s for any file type.Built with advanced controller technology, Micron proprietary firmware and high-speed synchronous MLC NAND, the Crucial m4 is engineered to deliver consistent, blazing-fast solid state drive performance. From the extensive research and development that led to its ultimate design, to the hours of testing and validation spent on each NAND component, to rigorous compatibility testing in the Crucial Performance Labs to ensure component functionality, the Crucial m4 is built to last.There’s a reason the Crucial m4 has garnered numerous international awards since its launchit does what it’s supposed to do. No matter what kind of files you’re working with on a Crucial solid state drive, you’ll experience high speeds with no drop in performance. Unlike other solid state drives on the market, Crucials treat all files the same, regardless of whether they’re compressed or uncompressed. This is important because the files most people use everyday videos, mp3s, advanced graphics files and zip files - are compressed files and thus unable to be compressed any further. While many solid state drives on the market achieve faster speeds by using file compression, many of the most common file types can’t be compressed, resulting in solid state drives that often deliver drastically slower speeds than originally advertised. With the advanced technology of a Crucial solid state drive, however, you’ll never have this problem.
