  • Positivekonstante Performnace
  • Positivegünstiger Preis
  • NegativePerformnace vergleichsweise schwach

Die solide Crucial biete dem Nutzer vor allem konstante Leseraten, wobei diese nicht sonderlich schnell ist. Dafür ist sie aber recht preiswert und eine gute Ergänzung für PC oder Notebook.

...Alles in allem hat Crucial gute Arbeit geleistet. Das Laufwerk ist in den meisten Fällen schneller geworden und zeigt insbesondere beim sequenziellen Lesen und bei der Garbage Collection eine deutliche Verbesserung.

Die Crucial m4 verbraucht zu viel Strom, bietet allerdings viel günstigen Platz.
