Crucial P3 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT1000P3SSD8

Product Information

The ATTO test revealed much the same performance, but also the architecture of this drive allows it to reach full potential performance at a smaller I/O size. For the other capacities, these speeds were groundbreaking only a few years ago, although the arrival of PCIe 4. With NVMe™ performance that’s nearly 6x faster than SATA and storage capacities up to 4TB, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Those expecting something spectacular in terms of electrical engineering or heat distribution will be disappointed.

There is little to be excited about with the P3 unless you are looking for an affordable P2 replacement that is 30% faster and comes in capacities up to 4TB. The Crucial P3 NVMe™ SSD delivers load times and data transfers that are 6x faster than SATA drives and 22x faster than HDDs 2. Other synthetic tests, like AS SSD and AJA, supported this balance, admittedly with slightly less optimistic numbers. The module is inside a plastic bubble tray along with a much-appreciated mounting screw and some minimalistic documentation.There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. If we compare the P3 to the P3 Plus, the cost difference is between 10 and 14%, which seems very reasonable considering the P3 Plus is more than 40% faster. SSD management software for performance optimization and firmware updates give the Crucial P3 everything you need for security and peace of mind. system soon should look at the P3 Plus, as it will run faster on that platform but also work on an existing PCIe 3.

As the P3 doesn’t have any heat sink and instead relies on thermal chip management, it might throttle in the confines of a laptop installation. For this reason, I’d probably suggest staying away from the smallest model even if it’s the cheapest. systems, the P3 is about as quick as this interface allows drives to go, and it’s worth noting that since it appeared, the P5 has disappeared from the Crucial range. It’s interesting to note that this is a little more expensive than the P5 launched, but only by a tiny amount. NAND as a commodity has been in freefall recently, and news that SK Hynix has a new 238-layer 512Gb TLC 4D NAND that will be ready for production in 2023 isn’t the news that Micron wanted to hear.Therefore, you’re not penalised for choosing the biggest capacity, as you likely would have been in the past. They want affordable product lines like the P3 and P3 Plus that are drop-in replacements for current or even older systems. One oddity is that there are labels on both sides, one being upside-down to the other, and the one on the underside reveals the module was manufactured in Mexico, and the warranty is void if you remove that label. What’s also different is that the differential between capacities is shrinking, with the cost per GB being somewhere between 10 and 9 cents (or pence) irrespective of what size you choose.

The P3 uses Micron’s 176-layer NAND5, but the makers are not saying what controller is used in this or its P3 Plus brother. If you’re wondering about the numbering convention of the Crucial (Micron) NVMe modules, then you’re not alone. Unless you brutalise your NVMe storage, this might not be an issue, but clearly, some changes to the layout have enhanced performance by sacrificing resilience. It’s disappointing that Crucial feels it is necessary to provide such limited specifications with this product, so it can change this whenever it chooses, but this appears to be the operating mode for many consumer electronics manufacturers now.Micron® has been producing some of the world's most advanced memory and storage technologies for more than 40 years. Crucial’s advantage over other brands is that it makes its own NAND modules through Micron, reducing overall costs. Three years or five years or writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first. With thousands of hours of pre-release validation, and a heritage of award-winning SSDs, we are confident enough to include a three-year or five-year warranty, depending on the SSD product purchased.
