The Crucial P3 2TB is a smart pick for users upgrading older systems or adding a secondary drive for games and media. While it’s not built for heavy-duty write tasks, its speed, efficiency, and affordability make it a standout in the PCIe 3.0 category.

  • Perfect Budget NVMe Speed for a Boot Drive
Capacity: 500GB Style: P3
I bought this Crucial P3 500GB SSD specifically to use as a primary boot and application drive, and it’s excellent for the price. The 3500MB/s speed makes Windows boot up instantly, and programs load lightning fast—it's a massive upgrade from a standard SATA SSD. It was easy to install in the M.2 slot on my motherboard (paired with the Gigabyte A520I AC). If you need reliable, fast NVMe performance without breaking the bank for large storage, this is the perfect budget choice. Excellent speed and proven reliability. ... show more

  • Works great in the 2013 Mac Pro!
Capacity: 4TB Style: P3
I got this 4TB Crucial P3 NVMe SSD as an upgrade to the original 512GB Apple-OEM SSD in my 2013 Mac Pro (otherwise known as the "trash can" Mac Pro). Using a Sintech NGFF M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Card, I was able to connect this Crucial P3 directly to the 2013 Mac Pro's NVMe slot without any fuss. After formatting the Crucial P3 to APFS in Disk Utility and installing a fresh copy of macOS Monterey, I was in business. The Crucial P3 was very easy and pleasant to install. (Note that for anyone wanting to use a Crucial P3 in their 2013 Mac Pro, you MUST install and run macOS Monterey prior to installing the Crucial P3 due to the NVMe-related firmware that macOS Monterey installs. The reported firmware version after installing macOS Monterey on the 2013 Mac Pro is 481.0.0.0.0.) Blackmagic Disk Speed Test reports 1280 MB/s write and 1350 MB/s for this Crucial P3, which is the expected result given the 2013 Mac Pro's PCIe 2.0 bottleneck. This is still a major improvement over the OEM Apple SSD, which only achieves around 900 MB/s write and 940 MB/s read, respectively. For older machines that are stuck with PCIe 2.0 or 3.0, the Crucial P3 is an excellent value for the capacity. Just don't expect to run it in a professional setting -- the P3 is really meant for casual users that want good storage per dollar without the expectation of slinging terabytes of data around on a daily basis. The Crucial P3 doesn't have any DRAM cache, nor does it have a heatsink. While the Crucial P3 doesn't run too hot unto itself, you may still want to consider thermal management in the case where you do want to run sustained loads on the SSD through PCIe 3.0 or Thunderbolt 3/4. However, if you are running PCIe 2.0 or are just using the Crucial P3 casually, then you can safely get away without using any thermal management since the Crucial P3 will run cool enough by itself. If you are running PCIe 3.0 or Thunderbolt 3/4, then don't expect the P3 to perform at its best on large sustained data transfers. But if you are running PCIe 2.0 like I am with my 2013 Mac Pro, then these weaknesses are mitigated due to the PCIe 2.0 bottleneck. If you do decide to use the Crucial P3 in an NVMe enclosure, be sure to use an aluminum enclosure that can act as the Crucial P3's heatsink. I used an ACASIS TBU405 Pro 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3/4 NVMe enclosure for my initial testing with the Crucial P3, and it works like a charm. Running the Crucial P3 in the ACASIS TBU405 Pro enclosure connected to my 2019 MacBook Pro i9, Blackmagic Disk Speed Test reports 2300 MB/s write and 2240 MB/s read. These numbers are on the slower side compared to the more expensive PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 NVMe SSD drives, which clearly demonstrates the budget performance of the Crucial P3. You get what you pay for. But for the casual use case, the low cost per gigabyte of the P3 backed by the support of Crucial, a respectable brand that I have bought plenty of RAM and SSDs from in the past, is why I am giving the 4TB Crucial P3 a 5-star rating. It does what it needs to do, which is to provide big storage for an affordable price, all within a convenient NVMe package. And if you can get the Crucial P3 on sale like I did, then it easily becomes a no-brainer purchase. As long as you keep your performance expectations within reason, the Crucial P3 will serve you well. My 2013 Mac Pro has never felt better! ... show more

  • Cheap and super fast.
Capacity: 500GB Style: P3
NVMe is the fastest type of drive for consumer computers. I bought this drive based on a balance of storage size, speed and price. It's not the fastest nor the cheapest but it strikes that balance of being really fast for not a lot of money. If you have an NVMe slot and you are looking to install this drive, do it. Works with all Windows and Linux machines. Some older Intel Apples too. ... show more

  • Replaced a low capacity SSD in an Elitebook
Capacity: 2TB Style: P3
Upgraded from a 256 to this 2T in an older (5-6 years) Elitebook. The small SSD was cloned to the new SSD and installed. Also, at the same time Ram was upgraded from 8G to 16G. Fired the box up and after a short time it came to life. The new SSD and additional Ram made a noticeable difference. More space than this box will probably ever need at a good price. Also, the additional Ram made a big difference. 8gigs of ram, while it works is really taxed. Multiple web pages open, a virus scan starts and boom, 8 gigs is struggling. 16 G's, while insufficient for really memory hungry applications like video rendering etc, is quite sufficient for most other tasks. This is not a gaming laptop either so no need for more than 16G's. When installing additional ram be sure to verify what the maximum allowable Ram is for your particular computer. Also, verify the type and generation of Ram that is installed currently. Crucial SSD's are a good, proven choice. There will always be instances of "infant mortality" in product, it is hard to get around that fact. For those that may be thinking about upgrading a computer for the first time, there are tons of videos to help guide you through this fairly simple process. I should also mention that Crucial has free cloning software which can be downloaded. I have used the software to clone a couple of SSD's and its almost as easy as 'plug and play' no need to format the new drive. Very user friendly software. ... show more
