About This Product
The Crucial P1 is a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD utilizing PCIe 3.0 x4. It offers faster sequential read/write speeds than SATA SSDs, making it suitable for general computing and as a boot drive. While it provides a performance uplift over traditional hard drives and SATA SSDs, its QLC NAND can result in slower write speeds after the SLC cache is filled, placing it in the lower tier of NVMe performance.
Verdict
