Our take on the Crucial P3 4TB PCI Express NVMe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive

The Crucial P3 is a budget PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, rated at 3,500 MB/s sequential read and 3,000 MB/s write. Its 4TB capacity and 1,200 TBW endurance rating are unusually generous for a drive in this class, where many rivals top out at 2TB and lower write ratings. It uses QLC NAND with no DRAM cache, so sustained writes and heavy random workloads fall well behind premium PCIe 4.0 drives. It suits bulk storage, game libraries and everyday upgrades where capacity and value matter more than peak speed.

Best forAdding fast bulk storage to a desktop or laptopLarge game and media librariesEveryday system drive for general useBudget builds that need maximum capacity
Pros
  • 4TB capacity in a single M.2 2280 slot
  • 1,200 TBW endurance rating
  • Reads up to 3,500 MB/s, far quicker than SATA drives
  • Runs cool and draws little power
  • Simple install with no cables or mounting
Cons
  • PCIe 3.0 interface caps speed below newer PCIe 4.0 drives
  • QLC NAND with no DRAM cache slows sustained large writes
  • Write speed drops on long transfers once the cache fills
  • Not suited to heavy random-write workloads

What reviewers say

Owners treat the P3 as a dependable value drive for storage and general use, and most are satisfied with the capacity for the outlay. Enthusiasts note that sustained writes fall off on very large transfers and that it trails DRAM-equipped drives in heavy workloads.

What people mention
  • ValuePraisedOwners say the capacity per dollar is the main reason they bought it.
  • Sustained writeCriticisedLarge file copies slow down once the SLC cache is exhausted.
  • SpeedMixedEveryday use feels fast, but benchmarks trail DRAM-equipped and PCIe 4.0 drives.
  • InstallPraisedBuyers report a straightforward M.2 install and immediate recognition.
  • ThermalsPraisedIt runs cool and needs no heatsink in normal desktop use.

Questions and answers

Is the Crucial P3 fast enough for gaming?
Yes. Load times are close to other NVMe drives, and the gap to PCIe 4.0 models is small in games. The difference shows mainly in large file transfers and heavy write workloads.
Does it work in a PS5?
No. Sony requires a PCIe 4.0 drive with a heatsink for the PS5 expansion slot, and the P3 is PCIe 3.0. It works in a PC or laptop with an M.2 2280 slot.
What is the endurance rating?
1,200 TBW, which is high for a consumer drive and covers years of typical use. The rated mean time between failures is 1.5 million hours.
Does it have a DRAM cache?
No. The P3 uses QLC NAND without DRAM, relying on host memory buffer. That keeps the cost down but slows sustained writes compared with DRAM-equipped drives.
Will it fit my laptop?
It fits any M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe NVMe. Check that your laptop has a free 2280 slot and that its slot is NVMe, not SATA-only.
What comes in the box?
The drive itself, with mounting screw usually supplied by the motherboard or laptop rather than the drive. No heatsink or cloning software disc is included.
Where is the Crucial P3 4TB PCI Express NVMe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive cheapest?
At Newegg, for $490.52, as of our latest check.
