Crucial’s 4TB P3 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Is Just Dripping With Value With Its $249.99 Price Tag

It can be difficult to believe that M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs are now available for the price of SATA III SSDs, but here we are. The Crucial P3 is a PCIe Gen 3 SSD that is just screaming with value because, on Amazon, it is priced at just $249.99 on the online retailer. Thanks to its industry-standard size, it will fit in laptops, desktops, and even your PS5, thanks to the M.2 slot.

Though this 4TB SSD supports the PCIe Gen 3 standard, you will find that it makes your system multiple times snappier thanks to its random read and write IOPS of 650,000 and 700,000, respectively. In terms of sequential read and write speeds, those go up to 3,500MB/s and 3,000MB/s, respectively. When it comes to loading games instantly, working with larger files, or transferring tons of data, the Crucial P3 is fast and has ample storage on its PCB, so you never get that ‘low storage anxiety’ feeling.

5-year limited warranty provided by Crucial

Now, while having 4TB of SSD space is more than sufficient for most users, it is imperative to know how long this drive can run for. The answer; quite a lot of time because Crucial states that the P3 has an MTTF (mean time to failure) greater than 1.5 million hours, making it extremely durable. The M.2 SSD is also backed by a 5-year limited warranty, giving you peace of mind when purchasing.

Sequential read and write speeds of the Crucial P3

There is one thing to keep in mind before purchasing. While this 4TB SSD should have no problem fitting in an available M.2 slot of your desktop’s motherboard, we recommend checking your laptop’s manual or some online reviews. Since laptops are meant to be thin by design, and since the Crucial P3 has memory chips on both sides of the PCB, it may not fit all laptops. We want our readers to thoroughly research this aspect of their laptops before making a purchase, but for desktop computers, there should not be any problems when size compatibility is a concern.
