  • Key Specs
    • Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)

Q: Is this SSD compatible with desktops?

A: Yes, this SSD is compatible with desktop computers.

Q: Does this SSD come with a heatsink?

A: No, this SSD does not come with a heatsink.

Q: I need to know if this is compatible with the 'Intel RST' technology and 'Raid - on' that is used by Dell by default on my Precision 3541.

A: Hello Tim, Thanks for getting in touch. We would like to inform you that we do not recommend using RIAD mode for our Crucial SSDs. Also ,IRST has some conflicts with Crucial Storage executive features. IRST most commonly conflicts with Crucial Storage Executive (CSE) functions, particularly Momentum Cache. Uninstalling IRST components may be required to operate Storage Executive, but in the event a RAID configuration or other optimization functions (such as Intel Optane support) are in use, simply removing these drivers can result in instability, loss of performance, or a system failing to boot.
