The lowest price of the Crucial P3 SSD with 4TB of storage was $249.99. Now, what if we told you that the same PCIe NVMe SSD’s price dropped to just $219.99 on Amazon? Would you be surprised? Well, you should be because the value that this solid-state drive brings to the table is just insane. You will not just get an insane bump in performance for both your laptop and desktop computers, but you will have a ton of storage to work with.
While the Crucial P3 can be used in the PS5, we will advise against it because Sony recommends customers to use a PCIe Gen 4 SSD that can deliver read speeds of 7,000MB/s and above. Technically, you can still use a PCIe Gen 3 SSD, but we are not aware of the kind of compromises that will be made when loading games on the console, so that is something to keep in mind. Speaking of speeds, the read and write speeds are in-line with an SSD that supports the NVMe standard, so nothing is out of the ordinary here.
You get up to 3,500MB/s in sequential read speeds and up to 3,000MB/s in sequential writes. While these are decent numbers, if you want to make your system more responsive, what matters is that the IOPS rating and this 4TB SSD has plenty with random read and write values of 650,000 and 700,000, respectively. It is also durable, with the company claiming an MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) greater than 1.5 million hours for increased longevity, along with a limited 5-year warranty.
Since 4TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs have flash memory chips on both sides, it will not fit in every laptop. It will be able to fit in all desktop motherboards, but given the limited chassis design of most laptops, you will have to double-check, otherwise, you will go through the painful process of returning the drive to
