The most dramatic change in this new generation of Crucial SSDs is the blazing-fast read and write speeds. The flagship 256GB Crucial M225 SSD screams at an impressive 250MB\/sec read speed and a 200MB\/sec write speed. The new Crucial SSDs enhance system performance by improving operating system boot and application load times. They also utilize a SATA 2.0 (3Gb\/s) interface and feature MLC NAND flash components housed in an industry standard 2.5-inch drive enclosure, making a Crucial M225 SSD easy to install.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;By upgrading their system with a solid-state drive, mobile computer users will enjoy a faster, more rugged system with storage built for mobility. The fact that SSDs don&#8217;t have any moving parts makes Crucial solid-state drives quieter, cooler, and more durable than traditional hard drives,&quot; said Robert Wheadon, Lexar Media&#8217;s senior worldwide product marketing manager.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of an SSD aren&#8217;t limited to notebooks; the Crucial SK01 External Drive Storage Kit (sold separately) is compatible with all three Crucial M225 solid-state drive products. This innovative device delivers the benefits of SSD technology to a user&#8217;s desktop, or as a portable storage device via a USB port. The kit includes a 2.5-inch USB 2.0 external enclosure, a 3.5-inch SATA 3Gb\/s hot-swappable drive bay, and a 5.25-inch drive bay bracket. The Crucial SK01 kit comes with a five year limited warranty.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/ssd\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/ssd', 'www.crucial.com\/ssd']);\" >www.crucial.com\/ssd<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/uk\/ssd\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/uk\/ssd', 'www.crucial.com\/uk\/ssd']);\" >www.crucial.com\/uk\/ssd<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/eu\/ssd\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.crucial.com\/eu\/ssd', 'www.crucial.com\/eu\/ssd']);\" >www.crucial.com\/eu\/ssd<\/a> to take advantage of free online tools, such as the Crucial SSD Advisor tool, which allows customers to find a compatible SSD simply by choosing their system make and model from a drop-down menu.
