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!

I’ve been using Crucial memory for years, and the P3 SSD is another winner. I installed this in my desktop as a boot drive, and the 3,500MB/s read speeds make Windows feel incredibly snappy. It’s a PCIe Gen3 drive, so it doesn't have the heat issues of some Gen4 models, but it still provides a massive jump over traditional SATA SSDs. For a 500GB drive at this price point, the reliability and performance are exactly what I’ve come to expect from Micron/Crucial.

I bought this drive during the Amazon "Prime Day in October 2023" event alongside a Sabrent M.2 external USB enclosure. I just finished writing an unnecessarily long winded and convoluted positive review of that Sabrent product and recommended purchasing one of those. I purchased an HP Pavilion 790-0010 "Gaming" PC from Amazon for my daughter circa June 2018. That HP PC came stock with a 1TB WD Blue HDD. Not long into the life of that PC I bought a 512GB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSD to install into the empty M.2 socket on the motherboard of this HP PC. My plan which I carried out was to migrate the contents of the stock included WD Blue 1TB HDD to the M.2 SATA SSD. The foil to this plan was that HP did NOT include a screw to hold down any M.2 drive that would be mounted into the empty M.2 socket. I had to source my own mounting screw in order to install the WD M.2 SATA SSD. WD did not include a screw. In the DIY space, the mounting screw comes with the motherboard. I am sure with HP mass production, that including a screw for an empty M.2 socket for a mass produced OEM computer would have added astronomical product cost so HP figured that no one would use this empty socket and saved the expense of including a mounting screw for an empty M.2 socket. Fast forward to October 2023, my daughter has filled her WD 512GB M.2 SATA SSD with many Steam and Blizzard games. She needed more space. This Crucial P3 drive was on sale for a great price and I picked one up. I have used various Crucial drives and memory products in the past and knew this would be a great product. My plan was to use Clonezilla to clone the WD M.2 SATA SSD to the Crucial P3 NVME drive using the aforementioned Sabrent external M.2 enclosure. When I received the Crucial P3 in hand and was preparing to open the retail package so as to install the P3 drive, I noticed a distinct rattle sound from the package. It was a small rattle that changed depending on how I held the retail package in my hand. It sounded like a small metalic object was rattling around in the package against plastic. I opened the Crucial P3 driev ratail package and slid out the plastic packaging that contains the P3 drive. To my delight, shock and awe, there wsas a carve out in the plastic packaging that held a sole metal mounting screw. I nearly wept and was overcome with joy of such a magnitude that I cannot convey with words. In a landscape and market place of many competent products that perform such a benign task of storage, I was ecstatic that Crucial thought to include a mounting screw for their P3 drive. Had this drive been purchased straight away for my daughter's HP PC I would not have had to source a mounting screw as I did with the WD M.2 SATA SSD drive. The drive itself is good. For sake of comparison, my daughter's PC is connected to our ISP router via Netgear branded Power over Ethernet adapters which were also purchased from Amazon. With the old WD M.2 SATA SSD, game downloads to the WD SSD drive topped out around 8MB/s per the Steam client. With the Crucial P3 NVME drive, downloads now top out around 11MB/s per the Steam client. Granted it's not the same level of testing Gamer's Nexus would give you but a quick eyeball in a like for like scenario of downloading big games from Steam do show that the NVME drive has a slight performance edge over the M.2 SATA drive. I am not dinging WD, it's just showing that NVME is a bit quicker in this HP PC than a SATA SSD. I realize the Crucial P3 is a NVME 1.3 drive and not of the newer Gen 4 or Gen 5 generations which this HP PC does not support. I was going for an inexpensive storage upgrade and the P3 definitely delivered....with a screw! I would buy this again and recommend other people to buy this too.

Bought in Dec, 2022. Price/GB was good at the time, has been in my PC as a secondary gaming SSD for Steam games, with some general documents put in it as well. Always been fast when loading/playing games. Recently, it has started to have Performance issues, so I used DiskGenius to test its sectors, and a decent number of them are showing as "General" and "Poor" (see photo), with most of them showing as "good" instead of "excellent". This tells me that the longevity of the SSD is in question, and a severe sector was found as well. If I had used it as a primary C drive, it likely would have had a lot more issues than what I'm seeing now. I am glad that I did not place anything important on the SSD, as the longevity is not what I would have expected. Compatibility-wise, it works in even the newest Motherboards, has no issues being recognized and categorized properly. Heat levels are within expected parameters. (33-45C) Weight is the same as any other SSD I've dealt with. For someone needing a cheaper SSD with lots of storage, this would work for a quick need (25-50% the price of higher-end SSDs), but I would definitely replace it as a primary C drive as soon as possible and keep any important documents on an external flash drive/SSD or even in cloud storage on Google Drive

Whether it's in a personal or professional setting, having the latest technology at one's disposal can make all the difference in the world. Overall, I am incredibly impressed by the impact of the NVMe stick upgrade on an old laptop. It's a reminder of just how far we've come in terms of technological advancements and how much potential there is for continued growth and innovation. As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, I am excited to see what other incredible upgrades and developments will emerge in the future.
