Crucial bundles the drive in a small blue and white box. The Crucial logo is on the top left hand corner of the drive as well as the words “Hard Drive Replacement”. The Warranty is listed on the front of the box as well. The back of the box has the technical specifications for the drive as well as a description of the SSD drive and UPC code. Opening the box we find that Crucial has wrapped the drive in an anti-static bag. The drive also comes with a full manual for installation of the drive.
