Crucial has been to work and has presented a product that many expected to see in the market for a while. From the hardware point of view of its new Crucial Adrenaline is only an SSD of the same make, model m4, but with a different sticker. The vital difference is special software included and whose installation is necessary for the proper functioning of the device.

This software allows the Adrenaline acts as a cache of other hard drives, keeping in memory the most frequently used files at certain times. According to Crucial, this program is completely transparent and automatic and requires the user’s attention at any time. Adrenaline Connect, install the program and go.

The first model of adrenaline Crucial will sell will with a capacity of 50 GB, tiny to serve as a single storage device but enough to be the cache of a traditional hard disk will be contained in the operating system and all the applications. It will be sold along with support for 3.5-inch bays (it is designed for desktop computers, of course) for a price still unknown. The manufacturer confirmed that it has to start shipping during the first quarter of 2012.

A good idea that it was clear that ending coming. I doubt the final solution, since it uses an SSD as a cache, such as buffer system, it aims for future medium to long term when the flash memory has reduced its selling prices. However it is clear that as far as SSDs become cheaper seems a good option, midway between the fastest and the slowest. Do you think it will work?
