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

Product Information

tabascosauz Does 7900XT still has high idle consumption on multiple monitors? And should I wait for the Supers even when I'm leaning towards AMD cards? ( 15) Ignoring those storm clouds on the horizon, Crucial is confident that most customers don’t need the raw speeds or capacities these developments represent. They want affordable product lines like the P3 and P3 Plus that are drop-in replacements for current or even older systems.

Where most NVMe drives don’t get into their stride until transfer sizes of 256K, 512K or even 1MB in the case of the P2, this drive is at full speed at just 64K. Making it a good choice for those with lots of smaller files. With generous capacities up to 4TB, the Crucial P3 can hold massive amounts of files, documents, photos, videos, games, and apps, with room to spare.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. 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. It would be reasonable to assume that Micron has parallel plans, but at this time, these aren’t being made public. If you’re wondering about the numbering convention of the Crucial (Micron) NVMe modules, then you’re not alone. First, Crucial released the P1, an M.2 form factor drive but SATA, not NVMe module. Its predecessor, the P2, used Micron 3D NAND modules and a Phison controller. 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.

Part-specific certification as required by China's Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products. Upgrade your PC with the performance it needs at a price you want. The Crucial P3 NVMe™ SSD delivers load times and data transfers that are 6x faster than SATA drives and 22x faster than HDDs. At the point of reviewing, those aiming to move to a PCIe 4.0 system soon should look at the P3 Plus, as it will run faster on that platform but also work on an existing PCIe 3.0 machine now. 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. If you have PCIe 4.0 or intend to move to a system with it, the P3 is the cheap and sensible option.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. But those performance levels aren’t on all capacities, with the 500GB option only offering sequential writing at 1,900MB/s. For this reason, I’d probably suggest staying away from the smallest model even if it’s the cheapest. It’s interesting to note that this is a little more expensive than the P5 launched, but only by a tiny amount. 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.
