Crucial P1 500GB

The Crucial P1 500GB is a budget-oriented M.2 NVMe solid-state drive using QLC NAND flash memory for large capacity at lower cost.

The Crucial P1 500GB is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD that uses the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It features QLC NAND flash and is controlled by a Silicon Motion SM2263EN controller with DRAM cache. Sequential read speeds reach 1900 MB/s, while sequential write speeds are 950 MB/s. Random read and write performance are 157,463 IOPS and 274,506 IOPS respectively. The drive has a total bytes written (TBW) endurance of 100 TB and comes with a 5-year warranty. This storage device is suitable for use as a primary or secondary drive in systems with an M.2 slot supporting PCIe 3.0. It provides NVMe performance at a more affordable price point due to the use of QLC NAND, making it a good option for general computing and gaming workloads where large capacity is prioritized over sustained write performance.
