Lexar Media Announces Crucial® TAA Compliant Memory for Desktops, Servers, and Notebooks

Government and Education Customers Benefit from Crucial Memory Solutions Compliant with Trade Agreements Act

Fremont, CA - Lexar Media, a leading global provider of memory products for digital media, today announced the availability of a full line of Crucial memory products that are compliant with the country of origin requirements of the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979. The new TAA compliant memory offering includes DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 premium quality memory modules for servers, desktops, and notebooks.

U.S Government agencies, as well as educational institutions and other entities purchasing with U.S. government funds – and the entities that sell to them – often require that the products they purchase be manufactured in countries that are TAA compliant. Memory modules are TAA compliant when the module has originated entirely from, or last substantially transformed in, the United States or one of the specifically enumerated TAA “designated” countries listed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Crucial TAA compliant memory modules deliver the TAA compliance that U.S. government and education customers require. Additionally, all Crucial TAA compliant modules are covered by the Crucial Reliance program, which includes limited lifetime warranties, dedicated toll-free support, and the option of an on-site spares program.

“Our new suite of Crucial TAA compliant memory products go through rigorous manufacturing and testing processes and meet the TAA’s stringent sourcing standards,” said Jim Jardine, Lexar Media’s senior DRAM product marketing manager. “We understand our government and education customers have unique needs, and we take pride in providing them with premium-quality, Crucial-branded memory solutions that meet those needs.”

Crucial desktop, notebook, and server modules provide OEM-quality memory at affordable prices, and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Crucial.com carries over 250,000 upgrade options for more than 40,000 systems. For more information about Crucial memory products, visit www.crucial.com.
