Overview

The P3 Plus is Crucial's budget NVMe drive, and it is a mixed bag. 5,000 MB/s reads on paper, but QLC NAND means write speeds drop once the SLC cache fills. For everyday use - loading Windows, opening apps - it is fine. But do not buy this if you regularly move large files. For a boot drive in a budget build it gets the job done at a low price.
