Description
Crucial is Micron's consumer brand, so the P3 Plus runs Micron QLC NAND from the same fabs. QLC is what makes the price per terabyte work, and it is also the specification to be honest about: once the SLC write cache is exhausted, sustained sequential writes drop well below the headline figure.
Key specifications
- Sequential 5000 MB/s read, 4200 MB/s write (within SLC cache)
- 440 TBW endurance, 5-year limited warranty
- Micron 3D QLC, DRAM-less (HMB)
- PCIe 4.0 x4, backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0
Where it fits
Media libraries, game installs, archive and backup targets — large files written once and read many times. Avoid it for scratch volumes and continuous capture.
Trade notes
Retail-boxed. Five-year warranty on a QLC drive is unusual and worth putting on the quote; it is the line's main argument against cheaper TLC competitors.
