- Is the Crucial P3 fast enough for gaming?
- Yes. Game load times are close to faster PCIe 4.0 drives in most titles. It is a good pick for a game library drive.
- Does it work in a PS5?
- No. The PS5 requires a PCIe 4.0 drive with a heatsink. The P3 is PCIe 3.0 and not on Sony's approved list.
- Will it fit my laptop?
- It is a standard M.2 2280 drive, so it fits most laptops with an M.2 slot. Check that your slot supports NVMe and not only SATA.
- How does it compare with the Crucial P3 Plus?
- The P3 Plus is PCIe 4.0 and roughly twice as fast on paper. The P3 is the cheaper choice for PCIe 3.0 systems where the extra speed would go unused.
- Is it good for heavy video editing?
- Not ideal. Sustained writes slow down and endurance is lower than TLC drives. A TLC drive with a DRAM cache suits heavy editing better.
- What is in the box?
- The drive itself, with mounting screw usually supplied by your laptop or motherboard. No heatsink or cable is included.
