Crucial P1 SSD 500GB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 3.0 CT500P1SSD8

The Crucial SSD P1 is a 500GB M2-2280 drive that connects to your computer's PCI Express port. It offers read speeds of 1900 MB/s and write speeds of 950 MB/s.

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Capacity
500 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    You get M.2. The difference with other storage media is huge. Now, I would say that the difference between M.2 drives is insignificant. It also depends on what you are doing and why you want the speeds. But paying extra money for the name of a company or a speed that you won't even notice, I don't think it's worth it. For example, if a game opens in 5 minutes and with M.2 in 5 seconds (for instance), it will make a difference and it is substantial. But from 20 seconds to 18 seconds, it's not a difference worth paying for.

    For the money, he is very good.
    I wanted him just to play games and the games load very quickly (specifically Forza Horizon 5). On the regular HDD, I had a loading screen for about half a minute.
    With the M.2, it's not even 5 seconds.

    Economical and reliable! I have him for games, which means he constantly copies and deletes files! He has had no reliability issues so far and without any glitches on him!

    Instead of a regular SATA3 disk, it is the best option, it was installed in a gaming PC, it doesn't need PCI for games but at this price, why not.
