Do more. Faster. Longer.
------------------------
A breakthrough in innovation, the Crucial M550 SSD is over 20
times faster than a typical hard drive* and consumes
significantly less power. It enables your computer to boot up
almost immediately, load files and programs almost instantly,
accelerate demanding applications, and manage power so that your
battery lasts up to 50 minutes longer. Backed by the most
advanced feature set available - Native Write Acceleration, RAIN
technology, Adaptive Thermal Protection, hardware-based
encryption, and our exclusive data integrity algorithm - the
Crucial M550 delivers a complete performance gain that's measured
by far more than just specs.
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 and innovation that has produced some of the world's
most advanced memory and storage technologies. With over a
thousand hours of prerelease validation testing and hundreds of
SSD qualification tests, the Crucial M550 has been thoroughly
tried, tested, and proven for the most demanding applications.
Performance level based on averaged PCMark Vantage HDD test
scores of five leading hard drives compared to the Crucial M550
SSD. Actual performance level may vary based on benchmark used
and individual system configuration. Test setup: 256GB Crucial
M550 SSD (firmwareMU01), 2TB Western Digital WD20EURS 7200RPM
hard drive, 2TB Seagate ST2000DM001 7200 RPM hard drive, 1TB
Western Digital WD10EZEX 7200RPM hard drive, 750GB Seagate
ST3750640AS 7200RPM hard drive, and 500GB Western Digital
WD5000AVDS 7200RPM hard drive, all tested on an Intel DZ87KLT-75K
motoard, Intel i7-4770K 3.50GHz processor, BIOS Rev. 0446,
and Windows 8 Pro 64-bit operating system using PCMark Vantage
HDD test suite. Benchmark testing conducted December 2013.
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.
Achieve top speeds without sacrificing reliability.
---------------------------------------------------
Normally, as an SSD's level of performance increases, its level
of reliability decreases. Not so with the Crucial M550. With over
35 years of defining and refining some of the world's most
advanced memory and storage technologies, we leveraged our
expertise to create RAIN (Redundant Array of Independent NAND).
This technology protects your data at the component level,
similar to the way RAID is used with multiple drives.
Save on power costs and enjoy longer battery life.
--------------------------------------------------
Run your system longer than ever before - and 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 and
substantial savings on power costs.
Secure and protect your data - with no loss in performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You probably save lots of sensitive and personal information on
your computer - encrypt it and 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, and Microsoft eDrive.
Keep your system cool - even when you overwork it.
--------------------------------------------------
Push your drive to the limit and avoid overheating, even in
ultra-small, thermally constrained systems. The Crucial M550
includes Adaptive Thermal Protection technology, which enables
the drive to dynamically adjust NAND activity based on usage
demands. With this technology, the drive is able to maintain
optimal operating temperatures, even when you overwork it.
Store up to 1TB.
----------------
Available in capacities up to 1TB, the Crucial M550 provides
plenty of space to store large programs and your ever-growing
collection of photos, videos, music, and work files. Available in
the form factors of today (2.5-inch and mSATA), and tomorrow (M.
2), the Crucial M550 is designed to go the distance.
