Written on .

We are excited to announce two new NVMe drives today at Computex. Stay tuned for product assets and availability in the coming weeks.

Crucial P3 NVMe SSD

Key Features:

  • Impressive read/write speeds up to 3500/3000MB/s (*1)
  • Spacious storage up to 4TB (*2)
  • NVMe™ PCIe 3.0 M.2 (2280)
  • Solid Gen3 performance
  • Micron® Advanced 3D NAND
  • Performs up to 45% faster than the previous generation (*3)

Crucial P3 Plus NVMe SSD

Key Features:

  • Impressive read/write speeds up to 5000/4200MB/s (1)
  • Spacious storage up to 4TB (*2)
  • NVMe™ PCIe 4.0 M.2 (2280)
  • Backward compatibility with Gen3
  • Micron® Advanced 3D NAND
  • Performs up to 43% faster than the fastest Gen3 NVMe SSDs (*4)

1*. Typical I/O performance numbers as measured using CrystalDiskMark® with command queue full and write cache enabled. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.

2*. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.

3*. The Crucial P3 speeds of up to 3500/3000MB/s are 1.3x and 1.6x faster (respectively) than Crucial P2 speeds of up to 2400/1900MB/s.

4*. Speed comparison are between Crucial P3 Plus published top speeds of 5000MB/s and the fastest published Gen3 speeds for NVMe SSDs, at 3500MB/s.
