Boise, ID, and Glasgow, UK, 5 January, 2012 - Crucial, a leading global brand
of memory and storage upgrades, today announced the Crucial Adrenaline Solid
State Cache Solution for enhanced PC performance. Comprising a 50GB Crucial m4
SSD, a 3.5' adapter bracket, and software, Crucial Adrenaline intelligently
places, or 'caches,' the most frequently needed files on the SSD and keeps less
frequently used files on the hard drive. The combination of a cost-effective,
high-performance SSD with an existing hard drive provides users with the best
of both worlds: SSD-like performance with the high capacity offered by a
traditional hard drive, all at an affordable cost.
'Many PC users are reluctant to give up their high-capacity hard drives for the
performance of a solid state drive,' said Robert Wheadon, worldwide senior
product manager, Crucial. 'Crucial Adrenaline offers these consumers an
affordable bridge between hard drives and solid state drives, so they won't be
forced to choose capacity over performance, or vice versa.'
Upgrading a system with Crucial Adrenaline is a simple process. Customers need
only connect the SSD to the motherboard with a standard SATA cable, start the
computer, and then install the caching software. Once installed, the software
combines the customer's existing hard drive and the solid state cache into a
single storage system. The caching software is fully automated, runs in the
background, and requires no user management.
'Consumers are storing lots of digital movies, photos, and music on their home
PCs, and as the amount of content grows, they want better PC performance for
faster access to that content, similar to what SSDs provide,' added Wheadon.
'Crucial Adrenaline uses solid state technology as a cache for an existing hard
drive to accomplish this goal, and delivers a compelling and affordable upgrade
solution.'
The Crucial Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution leverages the
industry-leading memory, design, and manufacturing capability of Micron
Technology. Backed by a limited three-year warranty, the Crucial Adrenaline
Solid State Cache Solution is expected to be available in the first quarter of
2012 through select global channel partners and online at www.crucial.com/uk.
