CrucialP3 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 3500MB/s - CT1000P3SSD801 (Acronis Edition)

Used primarily as external storage for backing up my music, speed isn't that essential for me, but it was nonetheless quick to transfer around 400GB, matching the good speeds others have mentioned here and didn't get too warm while doing so. It fitted easily into the external enclosure (I bought this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGS3NZ4C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title ), was immediately recognised by my PC, then after initialising was ready to be loaded. It works well for my purpose, so with only small file transfers being carried out from now on I hope it will last a good length of time. Lastly, it comes packed with the all-important screw! Highly recommended if you've you've got a similar need to mine, though obviously it would be faster fitted as an internal drive.

Brought this Cruical P3 2TB SSD storage for my PC, mainly for the issues starfield brought to most of us, but have since used it for other games.Arrived quickly although in possibly less packaging than I would have liked for such a delicate piece of hardware, the hard plastic casing was ok, just a little more would have been nice for piece of mind.Installing the SSD was easy, making sure your pc is on it’s side as this makes it a lot easier to mount and secure it straight to the motherboard. Especially if like me there is a graphics card and power supply in the way.Even though it is a Gen 3 it still loads games faster than I need and steam (or other game launchers) can update/ download games on to the SSD much quicker than a standard external SSD on a usb 3 connection. Games load almost instantly and there have been no issues from the SSD when playing/ loading, downloading or updating games.Overall a great bit of kit for a great price and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a step into the SSD PCIe storage.

I'd been wanting an SSD for years but couldn't justify the cost of a 1gb drive. But when the prime sales came up it looked more agreeable.This is relatively easy to install and will fit into the M2 slot on your motherboard. Ignore the pci-e ports or it will be flapping in the wind ready to cause trouble. I did have to remove and refit my graphics card to fit this but that's no huge burden and is easier than faffing with sata cables and routing.You will have to carry out an initial format before use to prep the drive. Depending on your plans and what Operating system you are using / installing will depend on how it's done. I was using windows 10 so went to computer management> disc management and prepared new simple drive. After formatting I then did a clean install of Windows 11 from usb stick. If you are switching from a conventional HDD to SSD you will have to go into the bios and change your boot order and a few other settings (just search YouTube for the name of your motherboard and enable SSD). There are lots of guides available. There is quite a bit of support documentation on the crucial site but it is basic and going under the idea of everything in ideal condition.. and of course your OS behaving.I setup a partition for a few 100gb for the OS and the rest as a secondary drive for games. What a difference! My pc now boots up in seconds instead of minutes.i often click the power button on the base unit and look up to say "what? Already? That can't be it.I was gonna go grab a cuppa."Stability is excellent and instead of loading things are just available. There's no waiting or buffering.it's just there ready. This really has made a world of difference. The only negative is that it will show you how slow your internet speeds are.Good quality and value. highly recommend. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

Tons of storage, easy to install and quite fast. I've used this for almost a year and have experienced no issues.

This model has very good reviews against top dogs such as Samsung. Unless you're doing high demand workloads and transferring loads of heavy files, this SSD is more than enough for the average user.My games load A LOT faster compared to my external SSD at 300MB/s - as my previous storage unit burned out.Warranty life is a lot lower in comparison against other brands, and also the lack of Cache chip makes it reliant on its own storage space to buffer some work. As soon you reach over 75% of storage, the transfer speeds will plummet below 100MB/s.Transfer speeds are very consistent, making it a perfect unit for booting and running applications from it, as long you're not looking to fill it to the brim. It's very good money for value when it comes to performance.

I bought this SSD to use as "HyperCache" in our new TerraMaster NAS.Crucial SSDs are good quality and I have never had an issue with them. This one is not the quickest device available (being PCLe Gen 3.0), but is more than adequate for my needs (see my CrystalDiskMark screenshot). It's also very reasonably priced.I initially tested it in a USB caddy and it worked fine - albeit not at full speed due to the restrictions of the USB port (Gen 3) on my laptop. CrystalDiskInfo confirms this to be a new device with no errors.In my NAS, it does a great job - markedly improving responsiveness and transfer times. The NAS OS (Linux) shows it to be running well and at a reasonable temperature.With quick delivery too, I am rather chuffed 😀 😊

Awesome nvme sticks,they best thing ever arrived quickly well packaged and work great,they so fast.
