Last month we reviewed the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Black just to recap some of the price drops we've seen on memory lately and what is available out there in the DDR3 realm. In the introduction to that piece we discussed how Crucial had unveiled a new variety of their Tracer memory at the 2011 CES and that we hoped to have a sample of this product available soon. Today I am happy to present the Ballistix Smart Tracer for review.


The Smart Tracer line couples Crucial's existing Tracer series with a few new features such as temperature monitoring, LED activity pattern and brightness control. For now they are only available in 2Gb, 4Gb and 6Gb kits in the PC3-12800 and DDR3-1600 speed, although Crucial plans to expand this line in the near future with the advent of faster memory standards.

Join us as we take a closer look at the Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer memory.
