Crucial Memory and Storage

Crucial is a globally recognized brand specializing in computer memory (DRAM) and solid-state drives (SSD). It was established in 1996 as a consumer-facing brand of Micron Technology, one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers. The brand was created to provide direct-to-consumer access to the same high-quality memory chips used by major computer manufacturers.

While Crucial is an American brand headquartered in Boise, Idaho, its manufacturing footprint is international. Production of its semiconductor wafers and final assembly of products take place across several high-tech facilities located in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, and Malaysia. This global supply chain ensures that Crucial products remain at the forefront of the technological industry.

Crucial is not an independent company but is a wholly-owned brand of Micron Technology, Inc. As a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ, Micron remains the ultimate owner, overseeing all technological research, development, and distribution for the Crucial product line.
