A: I found it on the product flyer: 500GB SSD = 110TB (TBW)//1TB SSD= 220TB (TBW)//2TB SSD= 440TB//4TB SSD= 800TB (TBW)** A: @EnergyOne: Corsair has an even lower TBW to capacity ratio, 200x. It's for the "Crucial P3 4TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s" if you want to look it up here. The drive is even cheaper than this one, at $189 for 4TB. **Q: Listing shows up to 5000 mbps, but the box i received shows 4000 mbps. which is correct???** A: 4000 **Q: Hello is this compatible with yahboom jetson nano developer kit nano b01 with 16g-emmc based on official n-vi-dia jetson nano 4gb core module?** A: Thank you for your question, We would like to inform you that unfortunately, this SSD is not compatible with this system as its an eMMC storage based system. **Q: Is this compatible with asus prime z370-a ii motherboard?** A: It will run in PCIe Gen3 speeds (~3000MB/s). That board does not support PCIe Gen4. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Crucial1TB NVMe M.2 SSD! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2024* I purchased this Crucial1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD to use as a secondary file storage drive in the new Beelink SER8 Mini PC that I recently bought. This is the same exact 1TB Crucial SSD that already comes installed in the Beelink SER8 Mini PC as the boot drive, so they match perfectly. Also, since I have seen this question asked many times now, and I don't actually see the M.2 SSD slot size specification in the Amazon listing anywhere. This Crucial SSD is the longest size 2280 M.2 form factor. However, the M.2 2280 specification is actually shown on the Crucial SSD in the listing photos several times, but product photos aren't always accurate. This should hopefully clear up any confusion about the actual SSD size.The Crucial line of products are all made by MICRON, one of the largest and highest quality memory manufacturers in the world, so they are all very high-quality computer memory and storage drive components. I usually either purchase Samsung or Crucial memory and storage drives when building or upgrading computers. However, Crucial components always seems to be "on-sale" for nearly half the price as the equivalent Samsung products (as was this Crucial SSD), so most of the time I wnd up going with Crucial just for that reason.This Crucial SSD installed easily into the second M.2 NVME drive slot on the Beelink SER8 Mini PC motherboard. It was also immediately recognized by Microsoft Windows 11 Professional on boot-up. This Crucial SSD initialized and formatted (GPT/NTFS) with no issues at all. Once up and running the file transfer read and write speeds are very fast, and the drive temperature stays relatively cool under burn-in stress tests.Also, for those reviewers complaining that the actual capacity of these Crucial (or any other brand) SSDs is lower than advertised, that is perfectly normal. Due to computer "math" and memory overhead in any type of storage drive, the actually capacity will always be a little less than the advertised capacity. I have been an I.T. professional for over 25 years, so I have a lot of experience dealing with this drive capacity "issue."Overall, I highly recommend these Crucial SSDs, as well as all other Crucial products. These Crucial SSDs are easy to install/configure, fast, inexpensive, and they run cool. In fact, I still have some older 2.5 inch Crucial SSDs that have been in service for over 12 years, and they are still running like they are brand new. Pick up one (or a few) of these Crucial SSDs today. Trust me when I say, they are a great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good, fast, 4 TB NVMe SSD that used to be available from a now defunct brand *by on Reviewed in the United States April 13, 2026* At the time that I purchased the P3 Plus NVMe SSD, it was quite literally the lowest-priced 4 TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD available. Which is really unfortunate since Micron decided that AI datacenters are what they truly want to support and 4 TB SSDs of all stripes and creeds are now close to $1,000 per unit!It's bad because this was actually a really affordable and quite fast SSD, with a very quick boot time and the high capacity makes it possible to have a few big virtual machines stored on it. Because it's an SSD, there's no risk of crashed disk platters or stuck heads like you have with hard disk drives and no noise since it's a non-mechanical storage device (which can be said for ANY brand of SSD, really).I'm not certain if the P3 Plus uses TLC or QLC NAND flash memory, so I can't give it a proper score as to lifespan or data retentivity, but I feel fairly confident that this drive will be reliable in the long term. It IS Crucial by Micron, after all. They were known for reliable and affordable drives, and memory kits, too.If Micron were still making these under their Crucial brand, I'd be recommending this SSD. It's fast, affordable and from a known brand that makes decent and reliable memory products. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable price, good M.2 *by on Reviewed in the United States January 1, 2026* I dropped this into my Mac mini docking station, tightened one screw, put the cover back on, plugged it into the Mac mini, and that was basically the whole story. macOS recognized it instantly, asked if I wanted to format it, I clicked yes, and it was ready to go in about thirty seconds. No drivers, no nonsense, no troubleshooting spiral. Easily the smoothest drive install and format I’ve ever done.Speeds are great for what I use this machine for. File transfers are fast, apps load instantly, and everything feels snappy. I’m not gaming on this system, so I can’t speak to how it performs there, but for normal desktop use it’s been rock solid with zero issues so far. It fits exactly into the m.2 slot, I didn't need the provided screw as my dock already had one.Bottom line: it just works, it’s fast, and it didn’t waste my time. That alone puts it ahead of half the tech crap on the market. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 5000MB/s - CT4000P3PSSD8 - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, Dual 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851,PC Cooler - AMD RYZEN 7 9800X3D 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/465269835-p3-plus-pcie-gen4-nvme-4tb-ssd-up-to-4](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/465269835-p3-plus-pcie-gen4-nvme-4tb-ssd-up-to-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
