Pros & Cons
Pros
The 5000mb/second blistering read speed is phenomenal and the lower heat dissipation is welcomed. Everything i do on the nas, from the video streaming to the seven 4k video cameras running 24/7 all perform much faster. Bought on sale for around 80 buc... Read More
Picked up relatively cheap but dependable enclosure and had a slim, fast and dependable external drive. Installation was a breeze, it fits totally fine in the m. Slot. This ssd is probably the cheapest pcie 4. I am happy to have the extra 4tb however ... Read More
Cons
Prices are cheap for a reason ygwypf. Maybe zero qc. Either the device is defective or falsely advertised. However, the sticker tag on box and the sticker on the stick show p3 plus is not.
Crucial's ram is phenomenal, but this ssd without the firmware installed is garbage. Ssd only reaches 1.
For people like me, this is just a luxury backup/longterm storage drive that i won't get much usage out of. No availability to format within windows. Returned it to amazon and purchased a samsung. Can't be formatted nor seen on bios.
Troubleshot the issue by reinstalling the original m. It's supposed to work in all pcie 3. Unfortunately it could not be initialized either. Well it turns out initially it doesn't work either, so i start a search.
Highlights
Quality
The build quality seems pretty consistent according to user benchmarks.
Bought this for my lenovo ideapad gaming 3 laptop and it works great speeds are amazing and install was easy.
But so far performance is absolutely solid.
2tb version gets a tad warm and depending on your use case may need a heatsink.
Price
I trust crucial and with the price point, you can't go wrong.
Getting it at monthly payments was the icing on the cake!
I’m keeping my eyes out for, a price drop
Cheapest price i could find, fast shipping and original crucial ssd.
Competitiveness
Also tried 3 different nvme enclosures before i found one that didn't overheat and throttle with a p3plus in it.
I usually buy crucial memory and ssds due to the reliability of the brand.
If not for the significant price difference, needing 4 of these, i would have gotten the samsung as they are rated slightly better.
