If you have a PC or laptop with an available M.2 PCIe NVMe slot, just plug in this 4TB SSD, format it, and you will be off to the races. Crucial states that this 4TB drive is based on the Gen3 standard, meaning that it will be limited to up to 3,500MB/s sequential read and write speeds. With drives launching at over 7,000MB/s read and write speeds, the Gen3 standard might appear slow, but here is the advantage that you will have. It is more than enough to give your PC or laptop a significant performance boost, making everything open in a flash and transforming your slow machine into an ultra-responsive. The packaging includes a mounting screw, in case you do not have one in your possession. According to Crucial, its P3 4TB SSD is rated for 1.5 million hours, or 800TBW (terabytes written). In short, it will take years for the drive to start showing signs of wear and tear, and you will likely be shopping for a new one by the time it does wear out. Assuming it does stop in its tracks before you least expect it to, Crucial has that 5-year limited warranty to keep you covered. One last thing that we need to mention before you make your purchase. The Crucial P3 has flash memory chips on both sides of the PCB, meaning that it might not be compatible with some laptops due to space limitations. To ensure that this 4TB SSD is compatible with your machine, make sure to watch some reviews of your specific laptop model, otherwise you will be disappointed that you had to waste your time going through the entire process. If you still want something that is cheaper, we recommend getting the 2TB version of the Crucial P3, which is available for just $119.99.
