BOISE, Idaho, and GLASGOW, Scotland, July 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Crucial, a leading global brand of memory and storage upgrades, today
introduced the Crucial(R) v4 Solid State Drive (SSD), designed to
deliver substantial yet affordable performance gains for mainstream
SATA 2 (3Gb/s) systems, the primary performance capability of computers
purchased before 2011. Available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB
capacities with MSRPs of $49.99, $69.99, $99.99, and $189.99
respectively, the Crucial v4 SSD can be purchased now through select
global channel partners, or direct through www.crucial.com.

The Crucial v4 SSD offers read speeds up to 230MB/s and write speeds up
to 190MB/s, enabling faster startup times, faster application
downloads, faster transfer data speeds, and increased reliability
compared to traditional hard drives. The v4 SSD joins the m4 SSD and
Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution to round out the award-winning
Crucial SSD portfolio.

"The Crucial v4 SSD boils down to two things: performance and value,"
said Robert Wheadon, senior worldwide product manager, Crucial. "Most
consumers realize that SSDs help their computers start quicker and run
faster, and are a more durable alternative to hard drives, but many
don't realize that most SSDs outperform the data transfer capabilities
of their SATA 2 machines. With the Crucial v4 SSD, we've come up with a
product that's designed to bring the most value out of a SATA 2 system
without paying for extra performance that can't be used."

Leveraging the industry-leading memory, design, and manufacturing
capability of Micron Technology, Inc., the Crucial v4 SSD is backed by
a three-year limited warranty, and is compatible with both PC and
Mac(R) systems.
