Crucial P3 2TB NVMe SSD

The Crucial P3 is an internal solid state drive built for consumer PCs and laptops. It uses an M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. Micron Advanced 3D NAND provides 2TB of storage capacity. Sequential reads reach up to 3500 MBps and writes up to 3000 MBps.

Suits mainstream builds; not for PCIe 4.0 platforms

This drive suits builders upgrading older laptops or desktops limited to PCIe 3.0, and users who want reliable capacity for everyday workloads. Random performance reaches 650000 read IOPS and 700000 write IOPS for snappy application loading. Systems with PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 slots will not saturate their bus with this device, so buyers targeting maximum throughput should consider faster alternatives.

440 TBW endurance rating

The terabytes written figure of 440TB defines the drive's warranted lifespan under typical consumer write workloads. This endurance level supports several years of operating system, gaming and media storage use. Verify that your motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 slot keyed for NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the P3 is hitting its rated 3500 MBps sequential read after installation?

Run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on the NVMe drive and compare the sequential read result to the 3500 MBps figure; also verify the BIOS reports the device on a PCIe 3.0 x4 link.

What ships with the CT2000P3SSD8 and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the M.2 2280 SSD; you must supply a compatible motherboard M.2 slot keyed for PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe and, if needed, a mounting screw.

Which capacity should I choose if I want the 440 TBW endurance rating?

The 2 TB model carries the 440 TBW rating; other capacities have different endurance figures not listed here.
