Review on 💨 Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe Internal SSD - CT1000P1SSD8, with lightning-fast speeds up to 2000MB/s by Jeff Labore

Reasons for: - Much faster than SATA SSD - Excellent performance per watt and low standby power consumption. Great for laptops - Excellent support/reliability/warranty from Crucial (Micron) (I used their support once for an M4 SSD) - Sufficient lifespan for typical consumer use cases - Free Acronis True Image software to clone an old HDD to this new SSD Why skip this: - Not suitable for server workloads (e.g. heavily transactional DB) or people writing > 25GB of data daily. Performance summary: - Data transfer rate: 2.5X faster than SATA drives, 40% slower than high-performance PCIe. NVMe at heavy workloads - Latency: ¼ lower than SATA drives, 40% higher than high-end PCIe NVMe at heavy workloads - With typical consumer workloads (mixed random R/W with low queue depth) no noticeable difference compared to High Performance PCIe NVMe === UPDATE 2019-07-20 === I bought a second one (1TB). Installed on my son's ASUS ROG Zephyrus G GA502 gaming laptop (only 1.5TB with free M.2 slot). Now there's plenty of room for games (512GB fills up quickly with games on Steam). The only problem was that the laptop motherboard didn't come with a screw (shame on ASUS). Very fast. The price is right. 5 begins.
