Introduction

It doesn't matter if you are a home user, network administrator or enthusiast; when you think of memory, Crucial always comes to mind. As you are well aware by now, memory makers are using their expertise and producing storage drives based on non-volatile flash memory. This category is divided into two types, SLC and MLC. The Crucial CT32GBFAB0 we are looking at today uses SLC memory which is considered to be the fastest of the two memory types.

The CT32GBFAB0 is Crucial's first SSD offering and it is important to remember that many other companies have already released three and four different SSDs. I have always found Crucial to be a company that takes their time when releasing their products and unlike some of the others would not start to sell a drive and revamp it a month later. Crucial is just more careful about the products they release.

Today we are looking at what can be considered an early SSD on the SSD Timeline. Even though the drive is currently listed and sold, the technology inside is actually starting to age when compared to other drives that are now on their third and fourth revision. That said, let's dive in and see how the drive performs.
