Packaging

My first DDR4 kit arrived in quite familiar clothing, with the colors of Crucial's mainstream DDR4 products that permeate through most of Crucial's product offerings on the market today. Both front and rear are rather simple yet elegant, with just a few aesthetic hints to make you feel comfortable. Each box I received from Crucial (and I have received a few more since this one arrived) was sealed, the casing's plastic ends adjoined, molten together. Holding Crucial's sealed kit, you just know that no other hands than yours will have touched the glorious DDR4 sticks inside.


Once I managed to pop that end open, the full length of the DDR4 sticks inside were revealed, though I could only see two at first because a layer of paper separated the two identical trays the memory is gently placed into. I say gently for a reason since the sticks fell out of those trays quite easily, so you might want to take some care when opening the packaging or your fancy new memory may end up in a scary pile on the floor at your feet.
