The packaging is near identical to other Crucial drives in the range save for the product title. To save money on individual capacity packaging, Crucial simply add a sticker to the front of the box informing us of what capacity of drive is contained within. The box is made of cardboard and is sturdy enough to ensure adequate protection is provided.


The rear of the packaging tells us what is included in the box along with a link to the install guide as no hard copy is included. We also find a small stamp telling us that this SSD is covered by a three year limited warranty.


The drive itself is held firm in a plastic brace and further protected by a sealed anti static bag. As the drive is just 7mm high (thus aligning itself with Ultrabook HD standards), Crucial also provide the buyer with a spacer to increase the drives thickness to 9.5mm.


Mirroring the packaging the sticker on the SSD is placed centrally and looks attractive enough upon a contrasting aluminium casing. It is worth noting that the drives tabs are the opposite way around to what you would usually find them meaning the gold fingers are exposed when orientated in this position which may prove problematic when cable tidying with other SATA drives.


The rear of the drive features a further sticker, itself giving us details of the drive along with serial numbers required for warranty claims. Tamper protection comes in the form of a sticker covering one of the screw holes preventing you from opening up the SSD case without voiding the warranty.
