Ignoring those storm clouds on the horizon, Crucial is confident that most customers don’t need the raw speeds or capacities these developments represent. They want affordable product lines like the P3 and P3 Plus that are drop-in replacements for current or even older systems.

Crucial P3 review: A Better Budget NVMe - Tech Advisor

It’s interesting to note that this is a little more expensive than the P5 launched, but only by a tiny amount. What’s also different is that the differential between capacities is shrinking, with the cost per GB being somewhere between 10 and 9 cents (or pence) irrespective of what size you choose. With generous capacities up to 4TB, the Crucial P3 can hold massive amounts of files, documents, photos, videos, games, and apps, with room to spare. But those performance levels aren’t on all capacities, with the 500GB option only offering sequential writing at 1,900MB/s. For this reason, I’d probably suggest staying away from the smallest model even if it’s the cheapest.If we compare the P3 to the P3 Plus, the cost difference is between 10 and 14%, which seems very reasonable considering the P3 Plus is more than 40% faster.

The quoted performance of the P3 is 3,500MB/s reads, and 3,000MB/s writes, putting it right up there with the likes of Samsung and Kingston. tabascosauz Does 7900XT still has high idle consumption on multiple monitors? And should I wait for the Supers even when I'm leaning towards AMD cards? ( 15)

The ATTO test revealed much the same performance, but also the architecture of this drive allows it to reach full potential performance at a smaller I/O size. Portable SSDs are a great way to boost your system.
