Since we have not reviewed the Crucial drive as of yet we are going to go through it quickly before starting to share our test results.
This drive comes packed in a neat little box where it’s padded and covered. Inside it you will find a small manual and also a cable so you can run this drive through a USB port.

By plugging this end into the drive you can plug the other end into a USB port and run it as an external drive, a small feature that I think will come in handy when trying to compete vs the other SSD companies. Lets get on with the review and start testing!
