Crucial sent us something snazzy! It’s a SSD, nothing overly new there, but this SSD is different. Quite different really. It’s TINY. You know all those motherboards that come with a dinky little white slot connector on them that says something about mSATA? That’s what this drive fits. It’s a juicy little thing too, 256GB!
Crucial SSDs are interesting from another standpoint too, Crucial is owned by Micron. Micron is one of the major manufacturers of flash memory as well as system memory. Odds are good that Micron made the cache and the flash chips, we’ll check.
