The simple packaging continues to the inside. Crucial’s design is simple but effective with nicely rounded edges giving a solid feel.
The component is now clipped together, so it’s a little harder to get inside and you need to bend it a little, not really advised.
Inside we find a PCB crammed full on one side. Crucial is using Silicon Motion’s 2246EN controller with 16nm 128Gbit NANDs. Next, more internals shots.

A nice release all round, if you don't want to feel like you are on a budget for performance, have a look at the BX range from Crucial. There are a couple of differences such as missing hardware encryption, so be sure you read the specifications before you purchase. We don't think you will be disappointed if you do.
