Crucial today announced an update to its Storage Executive tool. The new version (3.20) features Momentum Cache, a caching feature that can enhance burst performance by, according to Crucial, up to 10x. 
The tool should also help to extend SSD lifetime by reducing redundant writes. The tool uses idle memory for caching as needed, and installs via the Storage Executive interface.
In addition to the new features, Storage Executive also allows to update to the latest firmware, monitor drive’s temperature and health, reset the drive’s encryption password and to check how much storage has been used
Crucial Storage Executive can be installed from the Crucial website and is compatible with Windows 7 and newer operating systems, and works with the Crucial M500, M550, MX100, MX200, and BX100 SSDs.
An equivalent version of Storage Executive is also available for Micron client SSDs on the Micron website.
