Crucial today announced the availability of the Crucial Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution for enhancing Windows 7-based PC performance. A simple upgrade that allows users to keep their existing hard drive, Crucial Adrenaline enables PCs to boot up to twice as fast and increases data access speeds by up to eight times.

Comprising a 50GB Crucial m4 SSD, 3.5" adapter bracket, SATA cable, and NVELO Dataplex caching software, Crucial Adrenaline improves performance by intelligently placing, or "caching," the most frequently needed files on the SSD and leaves less frequently used files on the hard drive. Crucial Adrenaline is available now with an MSRP of $117.99.

To take advantage of the Crucial Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution, you may connect the SSD to the motherboard with the included SATA cable, start the computer, and install the Dataplex caching software. Once the software is installed and the system has been rebooted, the software integrates the existing hard drive and Crucial Adrenaline into a single storage system. The caching software is fully automated, runs in the background, and requires no user management.

The Crucial Adrenaline Solid State Cache Solution leverages the memory, design, and manufacturing capability of Micron Technology, and is backed by a limited three-year warranty.
